This is what our clients say
Scotland Tutors were a brilliant support to my daughter during her Highers. They arranged a Modern Studies tutor who was patient, knowledgeable and understanding. He really improved her approach, spent time to increase her understanding and reduced her stress levels massively. She went into the exam feeling calm and confident. I highly recommend this company.
Val MLana was an amazing Biology tutor. Engaged my daughter from the start in a subject which my daughter found extremely challenging and covered all of the N5 coursework in an efficient and logical manner. My daughter has dyslexia and dyscalculia but Lana adapted her teaching style to suit without any issues. No hesitation in awarding 5 stars!
Heather O'NeillVery friendly and had a good understanding of what our son needed to concentrate on and the tutoring helped with his English exam
William ShieldsMy son's tutor has been amazing. He has been such a great support for my son and his confidence has improved a great deal since having tutoring. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Frequently asked questions
- How does Scotland Tutors match me with the right tutor?
We start with a short call to understand your child’s subject, level and personality, then hand-pick a tutor from our vetted pool based on that fit — not just subject knowledge, but the right teaching style for your child. Most families are matched within 24-48 hours.
- Do I have to pay before my child starts tutoring?
No. Unlike many agencies, we don’t take payment upfront. You only pay for sessions once tutoring has actually begun, which is one of the reasons families have trusted us since 2002.
- What makes Scotland Tutors different from other tutoring agencies in Scotland?
We’ve been matching Scottish students with tutors since 2002, we specialise specifically in the Qualifications Scotland (formerly SQA) curriculum — National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher — and we charge nothing until tutoring starts. Our focus is careful, personal matching rather than simply assigning the next available tutor.
- Which qualifications and exam levels do you cover?
We specialise in the Scottish curriculum: Primary, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher, across the full range of Qualifications Scotland subjects, plus university-level and adult tuition on request.
- How quickly can you find us a tutor?
Usually within 24-48 hours of your first call or enquiry form. If your child needs help urgently — after a poor prelim, or close to exams — say so when you get in touch and we’ll prioritise the match.
