Experienced Spanish and Portuguese tutor.
Hello I am Jorge. I am originally Portuguese with Spanish roots and I love to both teach and learn. I've studied Spanish up to University and I've lived in the UK for more than eight years. I've tutored some pupils in the local community, helped them in Spanish with good results. Portuguese is my first language and I am ready to help anyone reach their targets. Both Portuguese and Spanish are very similar languages which are derived from Latin. For an English speaking student it can be very hard to comprehend the languages at times. My approach to teaching pupils is by finding an easy and simple...

Feba A
Feba is a fantastic tutor,greatly improving my understanding of both biology and chemistry. She takes time on topics I struggle with and tailors her lesson around them, often creating presentations to help me understand the material better. She explains concepts in biology and chemistry thoroughly and always encourages curiosity. I have never felt discouraged to ask questions.
Furthermore, she has gone out of her way to support me beyond lessons including helping with my university reference which is incredibly helpful as a private A-level candidate. She’s flexible and understanding with lesson times accommodating to your schedule. Overall, her support is consistent, genuine and above what I expected from a tutor. Could not recommend more!

Amazing tutor. She’s professional and really knows her stuff. What I appreciated most is that she also helped me with communication — how to speak more clearly and confidently. She really understood what I needed, and that made a big difference because my interview preparation was quite specific. Highly recommend.

Liz is an amazing tutor, our daughter is currently in her final GCSE year. Liz has spent time on understanding the gaps in her knowledge by spending time looking at her mock results, and then creating tailored sessions to close those gaps down. The sessions are at the right pace and Liz adjusts them on how quickly my daughter is picking the method being taught.

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.
