Beyond our pick, Kirkcaldy families have the same two routes as everywhere in Scotland.

The expensive one is a premium independent at £68 to £100; our independent tutors guide explains who charges that and why.

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