Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for their National 5 or Higher English in Edinburgh. Can tutors help with the specific SQA curriculum?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum. You can filter for tutors with this expertise to find the perfect partner to help your child prepare for their National 5, Higher, or Advanced Higher English exams.

With Edinburgh being a City of Literature, can a tutor help my child connect with the city's literary heritage?

What a fantastic idea! Yes, a great tutor can help bring English to life by exploring the works of Edinburgh-based authors like Muriel Spark or Ian Rankin, or discussing the history of the Royal Mile's literary connections. It's a brilliant way to make their studies feel relevant and inspiring.

Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?

We believe it’s even more effective for many families. Online sessions offer the same one-to-one focus but with added flexibility and access to a UK-wide pool of specialist tutors, not just those who live near you in Edinburgh. Plus, with interactive tools like whiteboards, it’s incredibly engaging.

What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

How do I find an English Language tutor for my child in Edinburgh?

It's simple. You can browse the profiles of our online tutors, read reviews from other parents, and filter by subject, level, and availability. You're not limited to tutors in Scotland; you can choose the best specialist for your child from anywhere in the UK to teach them online.

My child is interested in creative writing, not just exam prep. Do you offer that?

We do! We have many tutors who specialise in creative writing, poetry, and other forms of expression beyond the school curriculum. Tutoring is for anyone looking to explore a passion, not just for academic grades.

How much do online English Language tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who fits within your family's budget.

Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, to ensure they are qualified and safe to work with students.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Typically, sessions last for one hour. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor. The flexibility of online tutoring means you can find a schedule that works best for your child's concentration and your family's routine.

My child is quite shy. How does online tutoring work for less confident students?

Online tutoring can be brilliant for shy students. Learning from the comfort and security of their own home often helps them feel more relaxed and willing to ask questions they might not ask in a classroom. The one-to-one format builds a strong, trusting relationship with their tutor.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very straightforward. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform has a built-in video classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making lessons easy and engaging.

Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?

Yes, many English tutors are experts in both and can seamlessly support your child across the two subjects. You can see each tutor's specialisms on their profile, so you can find someone who perfectly matches your child's needs for their SQA qualifications.
