Beyond our pick, Dunfermline families have the same two routes as everywhere in Scotland. The budget one is a marketplace profile from around £20 an hour, where the reviews are public and the checking is yours to do. The expensive one is a premium independent at £68 to £100; our independent tutors guide explains who charges that and why.

From Rosyth to Inverkeithing and out to Dalgety Bay, the choice works the same way: a home tutor when one is available near you, online everywhere else, with West Fife fully covered either way. Rates across every route are in our price guide.
