Setareh A
Setareh is an excellent tutor, would highly recommend her. I started using her in year 1 of my Biology A level and she has always explained things very clearly. If I didn’t understand something she would go the extra mile to support me. It was very helpful working through exam questions together and this would highlight areas that I maybe needed a bit more support. She’s supportive and friendly, a great tutor that I would highly recommend.

Simon tutored my 10 year old son, helping him prepare for 11+ exams. My son immediately clicked with Simon, and found the in-person lessons especially invaluable. Simon went to great lengths to strike up a rapport with my son, and the lessons seemed fun but also very effective and targetted to the individual 11+ exams he was sitting. We're very grateful for Simon's help and would absolutely recommend for any subject.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about their Highers at Dumbarton Academy. Can a tutor focus specifically on the SQA curriculum?
Definitely. Our tutors are well-versed in the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum. They can provide targeted support for Highers, focusing on the specific topics, exam techniques, and assessment standards your child will face, ensuring they feel fully prepared.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to a Scottish university like Glasgow or Strathclyde?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their personal statements and preparing for the step up to university-level study. They can help your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject, which is key for applications to competitive institutions.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with the SQA curriculum or their approach to building confidence. It’s all about finding the right personality for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If for any reason it doesn't feel right after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How much does tutoring in West Dunbartonshire cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a good internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked using an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and are very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply – so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention helps them master difficult topics, which is a huge confidence booster.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps build momentum and confidence. However, you might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams. It’s completely flexible and can be agreed with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to getting started with Python coding, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their interests and learn a new skill for life.
What if we need to cancel a lesson?
We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by messaging the tutor directly.
