I’ve been taking English lessons since May 2024 to improve my skills, and I couldn’t be more pleased with Eleanor. She has extensive experience teaching English to non-native speakers, having lived in multiple countries. This global perspective makes her exceptionally skilled at understanding the challenges we face when learning English.

Her patience is unmatched, and she always takes the time to discuss the topics I want to focus on. Whether it’s specific areas I need to improve or particular subjects I’m interested in, she’s always accommodating.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for their National 5 and Higher English exams. Can a tutor help with the specific Scottish curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. You can view their profiles to see their experience with SQA qualifications and find someone who can help your child feel confident with the specific requirements of their National 5 and Higher exams.
Can a tutor help my child with their UCAS application for the University of Glasgow?
Definitely. A tutor can be a great help with university applications. They can assist your child in structuring their personal statement, helping them to articulate their strengths and ambitions clearly and persuasively, which is a key part of applying to competitive universities like Glasgow or Strathclyde.
How do I choose the right EFL tutor for my child?
The best place to start is by looking at tutor profiles. You can read reviews from other parents, see their qualifications and experience, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their academic English?
Confidence comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is the best confidence booster there is.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an English As A Foreign Language tutor cost?
The price varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and schedule.
How often should my child have a lesson?
We usually recommend one session per week to build momentum and ensure consistent progress. But the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You might want more sessions leading up to an exam, for example.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way to track progress is by speaking directly with the tutor. They can provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and what the plan is for future sessions. This partnership between you, your child, and the tutor is key to their success.
