Reviews from Parents and Students

The absolute best decision!!
We cannot recommend Edinburgh Tutors highly enough! During the spring break, and at very short notice, we contacted Alicja hoping to find young, knowledgeable tutors who genuinely love teaching and can pass that enthusiasm for learning on to their students. Alicja was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. She recommended several excellent tutors, sent us their CVs so we could make our own choice, and also gave us honest, thoughtful guidance about who she felt would be the best match for our daughter. The results have been absolutely incredible. After just five weeks of intensive tutoring, our daughter went from an F in Higher Maths to an A, from a C in Higher Chemistry to an A, and from a C in Higher English to an A! We are completely overjoyed and so grateful to Alicja and the wonderful tutors she matched us with. They did not simply teach the subjects—they helped our daughter gain confidence, understand the material and realise what she was capable of achieving. Even when it feels as though there is not enough time left before the exams, do not give up. If you have a child who is willing to learn, Edinburgh Tutors will work incredibly hard to find the right tutor and the right match for them. Thank you so much, Alicja. What you and your tutors achieved in such a short time was truly remarkable!

Edinburgh Tutors were super helpful
Edinburgh Tutors were super helpful, and the tutoring provided saw my daughter go from a D in Nat 5 Maths in March to an A in the exam, so we’re delighted. Daughter had initially started with one tutor, who then had to withdraw, but Alicja helped us find another tutor quickly and Athena was a great tutor, who really helped my daughter get to grips with all areas of the curriculum. Would totally recommend

Fantastic tutors who really helped my son and daughter. They are knowledgeable and know how to teach them how to answer exam questions properly. Alicja is great too, she is very efficient and helpful. I would definitely recommend and will continue to use Edinburgh Tutors for my youngest.

My daughter had a great experience with…
My daughter had a great experience with Glasgow tutors. They really supported her in her learning. She received French tutoring for higher with Alex and attended in person and online sessions. Alex was friendly and patient which my daughter found helpful and informative and sessions were based on her needs and were in line with the current curriculum requirements. This helped her study effectively to achieve an A in her exam.

Highly recommended
The company is super efficient with communication, planning and financials. They make it easy to book and maintain a relationship. Professionally the tutoring is phenomenal. We took support for both English and Maths. Our adopted son really benefited from this support with his learning. Can’t thank you enough

Outstanding progress thanks to Edinburgh Tutors
Our grandson chose economics as a crash higher in S5. Sadly he did very badly in his prelim exam only getting a mark in the 30s. With just a few weeks to go we decided that a Tutor was required and contacted Edinburgh Tutors with the hope he might get a pass Today he got his results A grade pass ! We are all delighted . Would not have happened without support from Edinburgh Tutors

Andrea instilled confidence in Math
Andrea instilled the confidence and knowledge in maths to help both my kids achieve grades they needed for their next steps in education. Andrea helped keep the kids engaged and interested in learning and the office team made it easy for us to select the tutor and do the admin.

Felt my son took a lot from Edinburgh…
Felt my son took a lot from Edinburgh tutors and they helped him get the required grades to allow him to go to uni and do the subject he wanted. Great help and totally worth it.

My son failed his Nat 5 physics prelim, so I looked for a tutor through Glasgow Tutors. We received a selection of CV’s very promptly, and together we chose Ella Morgan from the selection that we were given. Ella worked over Zoom and Teams with my son, and was always reliable and prompt. She was able to develop a good relationship with him and he never complained about a lesson. I got helpful reports after each session, and the method for paying the company was hassle free. We found out yesterday that he got an A in his exam, so I’m absolutely delighted and think this is 100% down to Ella’s help in breaking the course down for him and checking his understanding. We’ll definitely be back in touch if necessary for his Higher maths this year. Hopefully Ella has space for us after this review! Thank you, it was all a really positive experience.

Congratulations to your daughter on the A, and on securing her place to study medicine — what a fantastic achievement! We’re so pleased Edlira’s support throughout the year made such a difference in Advanced Higher Chemistry. We’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to her directly. Wishing your daughter all the best as she starts her medicine degree!

Thank you to Melissa
Thank you to Melissa, my daughter went from getting a D in her prelim to achieving a B in her Nat 5s! My daughter said she explained more in 1 session than her teacher had in a few months. Highly recommended Melissa.

We had a very positive experience with Scotland Tutors. The process of arranging tuition was straightforward, communication was clear, and they matched our daughter with an excellent tutor. The tutor was outstanding and made a real difference to our daughter’s confidence, particularly in French. She achieved excellent National 5 results, and we’re very grateful for the support she received throughout the year. We would happily recommend Scotland Tutors to other families looking for high-quality tuition.

Highly recommend
I would highly recommend Edinburgh Tutors for anyone looking for National 5, Higher or Advanced Higher tutoring!

James has been excellent with my son, increasing his confidence in physics. He was flexible and very good communication. My son actually enjoyed it. Would thoroughly recommend James and Edinburgh tutors
by Mary

I have used Edinburgh Tutors for a number of years and for 2 of my children. I have found the tutors excellent and engage with the students really well. We have a fantastic tutor for maths and physics this year. I would recommend them.

Scotland Tutors were a brilliant…
Scotland Tutors were a brilliant support to my daughter during her Highers. They arranged a Modern Studies tutor who was patient, knowledgable 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.

We’ve been very happy with Edinburgh Tutors. They matched us with Cameron for Maths, and he was excellent. He was reliable, patient, and explained everything clearly, making the lessons easy for our daughter to understand. We’ve saw a real improvement in her confidence, and really appreciated the support he provided. We would definitely recommend Edinburgh Tutors to other families.

Ayman has been brilliant with my son
Ayman has been brilliant with my son, Sam. He explained things clearly, built Sam’s confidence, and made a real difference to his understanding of Higher Engineering Science. Sam went into his exam feeling well prepared, which says it all. The whole process was also really smooth, they matched us with Ayman quickly and communication was easy throughout. Really pleased with the support overall and would definitely recommend Ayman to anyone looking for a reliable and effective tutor.

Ace service
They help us to choose a really good tutor. Great service and best you get to speak to a person guide you to the process and helps you to get the best Tutor and so the best results couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent tutor
Douglas at Edinburgh Tutors has been an excellent tutor for my son studying NAT 5 physics. His follow up email after the sessions let us know exactly what has been covered and what he will do at the next session and he has also been great at providing extra work for my son to complete in between. I would highly recommend him and Edinburgh Tutors.
by Mrs Prentice

Positive Experience
Edinburgh Tutors (ET) were very quick to put me in touch with a suitable tutor following my initial request to them. Ayman has been great for our 16-year-old son studying Higher Engineering Science. Sam connected well with him from the first session and has come away happy with what he’s learning. We’ve already noticed him being more keen to prepare beforehand. After each session we receive a quick update on what was covered and Sam’s progress, which we really appreciate. Very pleased with how it’s going so far. Payment process and communications with ET and the tutor have been issue free.

Great service with excellent…
Great service with excellent communication. My daughter receives Advanced Higher Physics tuition from Cara, and she has been fantastic. Cara explains specific topics very clearly and often from a different perspective, which makes the subject much easier to understand. She is an excellent tutor. They have built a very good rapport, which has really helped my daughter’s confidence and understanding. I would highly recommend this service and Cara as a tutor.

Well thought-out lessons and excellent…
Well thought-out lessons and excellent communication both in and out of sessions. The progress we have seen has been far beyond expectations. Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you to Joanne for arranging my daughters chemistry tuition so quickly . I would definitely recommend Alvaro to anyone who is looking for help with their chemistry studies. My daughters class have been without a teacher since January , so I needed someone who could help her as the Higher Chemistry exam and Alvaro did this perfectly . Even after her first lesson she seemed to have a more positive approach and we have Alvaro to thank for this. I will definitely be recommending Glasgow Tutors to my friends .

Thank you for your service in providing a tutor for my child. She has grown in confidence and has had much improvement in her outcomes in her English prelims. The service has met the need and we feel that Sarah is now able to achieve her goals under her own guidance.
Thank you again, we are delighted with your service.

Hi ALicja, I hope you are well?  Just to let you know Nina’s maths exam is the 4th of May and her session with Ceilidh that week will be her last one, fingers crossed!
Ceilidh has been amazing as a tutor and I cannot recommend her highly enough, thank you.

Audrey

Maria is a brilliant modern studies tutor. I cannot recommend her enough. She has significantly improved my daughter’s knowledge and ability to apply this to the subject. Superb communications at all times. Consider no one else for your tutor in this subject. JB.

I’ve been really impressed with Joanne who matched an excellent tutor for Oscar. Joanne was very professional, helpful, friendly and really knew her stuff. Oscars tutor Jessie has been amazing, she really engaged with him and got him back on track already. She follows up with lesson slides etc straight away and is always very positive and encouraging! I’ve been really impressed with your company.
Thanks again and please pass on my thanks to everyone.
Kind regards,

Ed R*******

Knew as soon as we spoke to Joanne that we were in excellent hands. She reassured us and linked us up with Steven, who very professionally supported our son towards a good grade in N5 Maths, helping him to realise his dream degree course entrance. Cannot thank you enough and would highly recommend your tutoring company.

Communication with Edinburgh Tutors was excellent from our first approach and due to distance we organised Skype Advanced Higher Chemistry sessions with Adam. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and always punctual. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your service.

Lana 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!

Very friendly and had a good understanding of what our son needed to concentrate on and the tutoring helped with his English exam.

My 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.

Joe was a friendly and efficient tutor for Chemistry, resulting in a good pass. He developed a good relationship with my son, and was very encouraging and supportive.

Robbie has been our daughter’s tutor for the past 10 months, working on reading and maths at P3 level. Robbie is always making learning interesting and fun and provides feedback after every session, as well as recommendations on worthwhile books to purchase.

Firstly Alicja, I must thank you for all your help with providing tutors to help Martha over the last couple of years. They have all been such a great help to her, and she did very well in her GCSE’s. She has contacted them all individually to thank them for their help, and she became very fond of them.

Just getting back in touch to say that Tom achieved a ‘B’ pass in his Geography, up from a ‘D’ in his prelim, and all due I’m sure to Ferdia’s excellent work! He has emailed her to let her know, and that he is therefore into Glasgow to study Zoology, after a gap year. We are all delighted!

Craig is an excellent tutor and a very nice person as well. I saw a difference in Jennifer from the first lesson. She is already much more confident about her English.

The two tutors we had were great and both of our children felt they had benefitted a lot from having the one to one sessions. Each of the tutors were friendly, helpful and were good at explaining the subject clearly. Thanks for your help!

Thank you. Both Tutors (Modern Studies and Spanish) were excellent.

We are delighted with the service, Thomas is superb, inspirational and Grace really looks forward to working with him.
I would be delighted to support you and the Team in any way I can, and will not hesitate to recommend you to colleagues, families and friends.

I have tried to find a good tutor to help my daughter prepare for the upcoming exams and was losing faith until I spoke with Alicia. Alicja was very helpful, polite and professional and from the first point of contact listened to my needs. My daughter has been taking regular classes with Esme and has found the help and tutoring very beneficial so much so that we have discussed the possibility of continuing the classes through to the highers. The additional assistance is value for money and my daughter is so much more confident and better prepared for the exams. Thank you Alicja and Esme I definitely would recommend you regards James

We dropped a delighted and very excited Munro to Edinburgh Napier Uni at the weekend. Can’t tell you how happy a day that was and what a turnaround from last year. Thanks for your congratulations and good wishes for Munro (passed on) and very best to you all at the company, you and Steven especially, and we will be recommending you to everyone!

Dear Alicja,

I’m writing to let you know that when E**** sits his Higher Modern Studies exam scheduled for Thursday 18th May he will no longer require tutoring.  Kevin ****** has been an excellent tutor and we are very grateful to you for placing him with Euan.

Good evening Alicja Just a note to confirm that tonight was Maddy’s last session. She has really enjoyed Eilis’ tuition and has taken a lot from each session, she is in a confident mindset now for her exam tomorrow-so fingers are crossed ! Please pass on our thanks to Eilis for her time and very obvious expertise .

I’m just emailing to let you know that Ailie will no longer require Business Management tuition from Kirsty *********- her exam is tomorrow.

I would just like to say Kirsty has been amazing with Ailie in so many ways and I can’t thank you enough for matching them together. Ailie has been out of school for over a year and with only one hour’s tuition a week, Ailie is tracked to get an A in her Nat 5 as a result of Kirsty’s knowledge and teaching style. Kirsty has made lessons fun and engaging but has also helped to build Ailie’s confidence and has formed a genuine connection at a time that has been so difficult for Ailie. Thank you so much. Regards
Laura

I used a Glasgow based tutor called Caron and she was fantastic. My daughter came on leaps and bounds in maths under her tutelage. Thanks for all your help

Hi Edlira, I’m sorry I didn’t let you know before, I’ve been sorting out all of the uni stuff. I got an A in chemistry! And I wanted to thank you for all the help throughout the year! I hope your summer is going well, Cenk

Also, I got into Manchester uni!

Hi Edlira, I got my exam results and I got and A!!! In both chemistry and biology! I am really, really happy with my results and need to celebrate! Thank you so much for your consistent support and help over the last year, you really worked wonders to help me get the the result I was hoping for!
Thank you so much!
Best wishes,
Tom.

I felt very confident after a few lessons with my tutor. I am very glad I had this chance to work and learn and without my tutor I would not have gained a solid 3.

My tutor was kind, friendly, very patient and helped me by setting homework that was thought-provoking and structured to strengthen my weaknesses: in particular, with timed essays. I would have no hesitation in recommending Edinburgh Tutors to my friends and other students.

I feel that the tuition I received was the main reason I was able to obtain a grade A in the final exam. Last year I got a C, and my tutor made me realise that I am capable of achieving much more.

My tutor was extremely helpful and understanding, and as a result I felt that I was improving with every session.

I found the extra exercises and worksheets really boosted my confidence, while any mistakes I made were carefully explained.

Hi Joanne, hope you are well!
Just to let you know that I am officially done with tutoring lessons for the foreseen future. Thank you so much I’m very happy with how it has gone so far with chemistry and English I couldn’t expect anything better it was really enjoyable, and it really helped me get the boost I needed to achieve my goals! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who asked me. I hope you have an amazing life! I might get in contact with you again next year if I need anything! Bye.

Thank you
Heeba (student)

I have to say Cameron has been an amazing support to Gxxxxx and has really been there for her this year.  I would wholeheartedly recommend him to future parents. I was just wondering if you have tutors that support Advanced Maths, Gxxxx is taking this in 6th year and we were thinking about a tutor for her.

Just wanted to say thank you to both you and Paulina.
We are hoping Mxxxx has got through Nat5 maths with a better grade now. Wish we had got in touch earlier however the work they both put in still made a world of difference!

Hello
(I) Meant to say  Fran was excellent and  made learning  fun –  wish all teachers were like  Fran
Kind regards

Excellent quality tutors
I’ve used Edinburgh Tutors for all of my kids – Physics, History, Business & Biology. All of tutors have been excellent enabling A grades for both Standard Grade & Higher. Alicja is very responsive and helpful. Couldn’t recommended them enough!

–  Lucy has been the most amazing tutor for Cxxxxxx.. I realise that she has just completed her last lesson. I dId not get organised to give her a small gift.

Highly recommend!
My son and I have had a great experience with Edinburgh Tutors and I would highly recommend them. My son studied with their tutors for his higher English and advanced higher Physics. Both of his tutors were excellent and got on really well with my son. He achieved top grades with their help. I contacted Edinburgh tutors asking for help and their response was so quick and my son got started straight away. He really liked the online sessions as he could fit them in easily with his studies. The whole experience from start to finish was great.

Just an appreciation email from a happy mum. My Son has just gotten his confirmation into Robert Gordon University and I am grateful to God for using the 3 of you to make this happen To Adam – You were very dedicated, never failed to be patient and as elementary as possible just to ensure he did a good job Result  Advanced Higher Mathematics – C To Margo – Always prepared, always detailed, always supportive even when he appeared very confused and scared, you ensured you not just taught him but also instilled courage into him Result Higher Physics – C To Nathan – You never gave up on him, just within 6 weeks you turned the story around, from a child who was advised by the school English teacher to withdraw from the exams to a child who suddenly now has a good result,  I am super impressed and its genuinely appreciated.  Result Higher English C I will always recommend Aberdeen Tutors even when I dont need to, and I would also start earlier with my daughter when the time comes. NB: If I ever request for tutors pls I want this same team, Nathan, Adam and Margo!!!!

I couldn’t be more grateful for the support and dedication that Dr E**** Roberts has shown my daughter. From the very first session, she was warm, friendly, and completely focused on tailoring her teaching to suit my daughter’s individual learning needs. Her phenomenal teaching methods not only helped improve my daughter’s understanding of higher chemistry but also sparked a genuine love for the subject. It’s been such a joy to see my daughter’s confidence grow, and that’s entirely down to Dr E**** Robert’s encouragement, clarity, and passion for teaching. Edinburgh Tutors as a whole has also been incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the process . They are professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to their students’ success. Highly recommended!

My son decided to crash Higher Computing Science and was initially struggling so we engaged with Edinburgh Tutors to help. From the start they were very professional and presented appropriate tutors for selection. My son opted for Ryan XXXX and all of us can’t speak highly enough about him. He was knowledgeable, organized, flexible and my son found him easy to deal with at all times. As Computing Science was the first exam we opted to utilize Ryan for Higher Math’s, for 4 sessions leading up to the exam. Again Ryan worked around our son and accommodated all sessions. The results in increased confidence and test results were great almost immediately. My son achieved an A in both Higher Maths & Computing Science assisted by Ryan which considering were he started is testament to Ryan XXXX.

Hi Eamonn Byrne,
Angela Kennedy just left a new 5-star review of edinburgh-tutors.co.uk:

I would highly recommend this company they can’t do enough to help put you in touch with the right tutor that’s right for your child. My daughter has had great experience and her confidence has came on greatly. Annnalena had my daughter at ease from the first time they spoke and has kept me updated all the way on how she’s doing. Nothing was ever a problem you can ask her anything and didn’t feel silly. She’s looking forward to working with her very soon on a different subject that she has to crash course this year for highers. Also will be working with her on same subject for highers next year. I’d highly recommend this company and very competitive prices as iv priced a lot. It really helps to that it’s taking monthly for ppl that get payed monthly. Thank yous so very much and my daughter looks forward to more lessons in future ❤️

Our tutor, Josie, is perfectly suited to our family. She is always well prepared, flexible and her approach is tailored to our children’s personalities getting the most out of them.

The history tutor was great assistance to my daughter. The fees were reasonable and communication was very easy. All round a well handled experience.

Great communication, and the tutor was engaging and proactive.

My daughter had Eloise as her Higher chemistry tutor and found her to be fantastic, really supportive and encouraging throughout! She got an A on her exam!! Thank you

We’ve used Edinburgh Tutors to support our daughter’s foreign language learning. Over three years and three different tutors she’s received consistently high quality, focussed, engaged, and responsive tuition. We highly recommend Edinburgh Tutors!
