Why a Strong English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child

English is more than just a subject; it’s the key that unlocks opportunities. A strong pass at National 5 and Higher level is often a requirement for competitive courses at universities like Aberdeen and RGU. The skills your child develops—like analysing a tricky poem or building a persuasive argument in a critical essay—are exactly what universities and employers in the North East and beyond are looking for. It gives them the communication skills they need to succeed in any career they choose.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study at the University of Aberdeen or RGU. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students secure places at top Scottish universities. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed for a strong Higher English grade, which is often a key requirement for competitive courses at Aberdeen and RGU.

Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum, like National 5 and Highers?

Yes. You can easily filter your search for tutors who specialise in the SQA curriculum. They understand the specific requirements of National 5 and Higher English, including the critical essay and textual analysis components that are so important for students at schools like Peterhead Academy.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's detailed profile, watch their intro video, and read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're the perfect fit. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We understand that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert to suit your budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also have a rigorous selection process, and we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents like essays or practice questions. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help students see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.

How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week works well, but you can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of skills. So if your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help with that too.

Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for their exams?

Yes, absolutely. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. Your child's tutor can create lessons that focus specifically on the poems, plays, or novels they are studying for their National 5 or Higher exams, helping them analyse quotes and prepare for their assessments.

What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?

We understand that life can be busy. Each tutor sets their own cancellation policy, which is usually 24 or 48 hours. You can see their specific policy on their profile. As long as you give enough notice, you can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform.
