Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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.
