Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for the University of St Andrews. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. While tutors don't guarantee entry, they provide crucial support to help your child achieve the best possible SQA Higher results. They can focus on strengthening subject knowledge, improving exam technique, and even help with structuring personal statements, giving your child the confidence and skills to put forward their strongest application.
My child is at Madras College. Can we find a tutor familiar with the SQA curriculum?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum, including the SQA Nationals and Highers. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and find someone who is a great fit for supporting a student from Madras College, St Leonards, or any other local school.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has been through an enhanced DBS check and we've verified their ID and references. You can feel secure knowing your child is in safe hands.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
How much do tutors in St Andrews cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While academic subjects are popular, we have expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or learn a new language for fun, we can help you find the right person.
Can tutoring help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor helps your child feel more capable and less anxious about their studies. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule – it really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their understanding over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do we have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, you have complete flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your tutor. There are no contracts or long-term commitments, so you can adapt as your child's needs change.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Booking is easy and secure. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons through their calendar on the platform. Payments are handled securely online, so you don't have to worry about cash. It's all managed through your Tutorful account.
