Leigh worked with our teenage son to prepare for his English Language iGCSE. With only a short time before the exam, they quickly developed a constructive rapport. Leigh was quickly able to assess where our son ‘was at’ in terms of his readiness for that exam. Over just a few sessions, analysis and writing skills were imparted and developed that meant our son felt prepared. Moreover, our son so enjoyed the way Leigh worked and his obvious passion for and skills in language analysis, that he chose to continue language analysis sessions just for the fun of it once the exam was over. A comment our son has made more than once after a session is, ‘I just love learning!’ The exam was passed really well – the outcome we hoped would be possible – but more significantly, we are grateful for Leigh’s ability to really draw out and develop our son’s enjoyment of the English language.

Ihsanur R
Last Year I did not do well in English Language in which I had a Grade 3. With my November resits fast approaching I felt very privileged to have Ihsanur as my tutor. He was able to present lessons in a concise way which helped me understand what went well and what I needed to improve on.
After the November resits I managed to obtain a Grade 4 in English Language AQA. I would really recommend him for those taking the GCSE 2026 because he is committed and dedicated in order to achieve academic potential with pupils. Thanks again Ihsanur for the hard work you do.

Smita Paneru S
I can’t recommend Smita enough! After struggling and retaking my English Language exam twice before she’s the only tutor who has truly managed to teach me in a way that makes everything click. She explains things clearly and in a way that actually makes sense. Smita never made me feel judged for needing extra help. She is an genuinly an incredible tutor who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I honestly wish I’d found her sooner! I can’t thank her enough for helping me. :)

Flora has been helping Isla prepare for her English Literature and English Language GCSE exams. From the first lesson, Flora “clicked” with Isla and quickly understood her needs. She made Isla feel comfortable and pinpointed areas for development and was so supportive. Isla felt at ease and could ask questions knowing that the necessary time would be taken to help her understand. Flora was incredibly accommodating, adjusting lesson times and dates as needed. She was also very responsive to messages and promptly returned marked work, going above and beyond to support us. Isla’s work was annotated and marked, providing valuable feedback and areas for future focus, which has been invaluable. Flora’s passion for the subject shone through, thank you so much Flora!

Ria D
In just a few weeks, my daughter’s confidence in both English and maths has grown so much thanks to Ria.
She's feeling much more prepared for her upcoming GCSEs.
Ria is super easy to communicate with, really flexible, and her lessons are always well-organised and focused.
She’s been such a great support — we’d definitely recommend her!

Jen has built a good relationship with my son and quickly identified what he needed to focus on to enable him to pass his English resit. He is engaged with lessons, he enjoys them and completes work set. He absolutely has benefitted from the 1 on 1 time these lessons give him.

Brilliant English Language tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is really struggling with the National 5 English critical essay. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Scotland come to us. Our tutors can provide focused, one-to-one support on essay structure, textual analysis, and crafting a compelling argument, helping your child build the exact skills needed to tackle it with confidence.
We're aiming for a top Scottish university. Do your tutors understand the requirements for Higher English?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students in Scotland prepare for their Highers. They can tailor sessions to meet the specific demands of the SQA curriculum and help your child build the analytical skills required for competitive university courses.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Language?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online sessions use interactive tools like digital whiteboards which are perfect for analysing texts together. Plus, your child can learn from home, and you get access to a much wider choice of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just your local area.
How do you find a tutor who understands the SQA curriculum for students in Scotland?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in the Scottish curriculum, including National 5 and Higher qualifications. Many tutors highlight this expertise in their profiles, so you can find the perfect match for your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Language tutor?
Finding the right fit is the most important thing. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. We're here to help you find someone your child genuinely connects with.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence as well as their grades?
Definitely. For many students, that's the biggest change parents see. When a topic finally 'clicks' in a supportive, one-to-one setting, it does wonders for their self-belief. Soon, they're more willing to contribute in class and feel much less anxious about their schoolwork.
Are your tutors able to connect lessons to Scotland's amazing literary heritage?
Many can! If your child is inspired by writers like Robert Burns or Ian Rankin, you can look for a tutor who shares that passion. Bringing local culture and history into lessons can be a brilliant way to make the subject feel more relevant and exciting for students in Scotland.
How much does online English Language tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £15 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to easily find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, every single one. We take safety very seriously. All our tutors are ID and background-checked, and we interview every applicant to ensure they meet our high standards. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Beyond academic subjects, can my child learn other skills through Tutorful?
Of course. We have tutors for hundreds of subjects. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or master a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions online.
How long are the online tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is perfect for making real progress without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Can a tutor also help with my child's university personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors are fantastic at helping with personal statements. They can guide your child on how to structure their thoughts, showcase their strengths, and write in a way that truly stands out to university admissions teams.
