Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a school like Marr College. Can we find a tutor familiar with the SQA curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. You can view their profiles to see their experience with SQA qualifications, including National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with their schoolwork.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde?
Yes, definitely. Beyond subject-specific help, many of our experienced tutors can provide guidance on personal statements and help your child prepare for the transition to university-level study. It's a great way to give them an extra confidence boost for that important next step.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with and feel comfortable learning from.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our 'First Lesson Guarantee'. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost in South Ayrshire?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to believe in their own abilities.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a space to share documents. It’s designed to be as effective as sitting side-by-side.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can you help with other skills?
We cover a huge range of subjects! Alongside academic support for all levels, you can find tutors for practical skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even improving public speaking.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week is a great starting point. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each session, and you can message them at any time to discuss how your child is getting on. It’s a collaborative effort, and we make it easy for you to stay informed and involved in your child's learning journey.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! We have a simple 12-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without any charge. You can manage all your bookings easily from your Tutorful account.
