– How We Tutor – Free Initial Assessment – Together We Find the Right Tutor for You
We listen before we advise a tailored session plan
First we determine what help is needed to achieve the desired outcomes, then select a tutor to meet your specific needs and tailor tuition based on these options:
- 1 hour per week per subject – Hourly sessions are mainly used at Primary level or if a tutee feels the 1.5 hour session is too much.
- 1.5 hours per week per subject – We’ve found this to be the optimum formula for successful tuition, and it suits most students’ busy schedules.
- 2 hours per week per subject – If starting tuition from January onwards, or if your child is really lacking confidence, we’d consider this more intensive programme.
Built around weekly sessions
Tuition with us is built around weekly sessions to maximize learning and commitment:
- Homework Assignments – An hour’s homework will usually be set per subject per week. This amount may be varied to suit the student’s workload.
- Exam-focused tuition – Past papers are a key element of our exam-focused tutoring technique.
- Flexible – We fully appreciate that sometimes you may need to move or miss a session, and here of course we are flexible: your tutor will try to re-arrange a time to suit you.
- Charges – The charges are inclusive and we guarantee the price for the duration of your tuition.
- No advance payments – You will be invoiced directly after each session – never in advance.
- QS Subject Tutors – All the Qualifications Scotland (formerly SQA) subjects are normally available, early reservation is advised.
Which tutoring option is best for you? Online or in-home?
Our experience shows that while traditional in-home tutoring has long been the preferred option, online tuition offers a range of additional benefits. Although some families were initially hesitant—particularly due to mixed experiences with school-led group classes during lockdowns—most parents and students now actively choose online learning.
With today’s advanced meeting technology, online tutoring provides access to a wider set of interactive tools than a traditional classroom. Many of our tutors also report that students often find online sessions feel more natural and help them maintain focus more easily.
Whichever format suits your student best, we offer both in-home and online one-to-one tuition, and we’ll work with you to determine the most effective approach for your situation.

Flexibility and Choice
Students and parents love the ability to work whenever and wherever with no disruption to family members and in an environment and a location that they choose to allow maximum concentration.
Tutor physical location becomes irrelevant in your choice of tutor. Online tuition widens the pool of tutor choice massively and means you have better access to the best tutor and the one that is right for your needs, rather than only the tutors who live close by.
Safe and Secure
There are no time-consuming travel issues involved, no concerns about Covid or other personal security issues. All our online tutors are required to adhere to the same stringent Code of Practice.
You have complete control over the tutoring environment, and you can even arrange with your tutor to record sessions. Some users agree this is a great benefit for revision as well as ensuring your peace of mind.
Special Educational Requirements
If your child requires special education, we have capable tutors who have experience in the practice of tutoring students in a way that addresses their differences, disabilities, and special educational needs. Our tutors can support SEN children with Dyslexia, ADHD, and others. Call 01315161811 or message using the contact form below.
