It's about equipping them with the tools to understand the world and make their voice heard, both in the classroom and beyond.

Expert English tutor
I am an enthusiastic English tutor, relatively new to Tutorful but with 6+ years of tutoring experience elsewhere. I would love to work with you to achieve the grade you want. At school, I completed English exams at Nat 5, Higher and Advanced Higher level, and received an A* grade each time. My love for the subject lead me to pursue a degree in English at St Andrews University, where I achieved a 1:1, and have just recently completed a Masters in English Literature.

Johanna P
Johanna has been tutoring my son in English for the Scottish National 5 exam preparation since February, and her support has been excellent. She is patient, engaging, and creates a very positive learning environment that my son genuinely enjoys. She supports him in understanding deeper meanings, analysing texts, and responding clearly and confidently in writing. As a result, his interest in English has grown significantly, along with his confidence in his ability to understand complex literature and poetry. His test results have improved substantially since he started working with her. Johanna is reliable, professional, and truly dedicated to her students. I would highly recommend her.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Naomi G
I highly recommend Naomi as an English tutor for Nat 5. She explains concepts clearly, making even the most difficult topics much easier to understand. Her lessons are well-structured and engaging, and she provides detailed feedback on my homework, which she prepares for me every week. All of her advice has really helped me improve. She is also very supportive and patient, ensuring that I fully grasp each topic before moving on. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident in my English skills.

I feel that Katrina has managed to gain rapport with my son, even though he’s autistic and struggles to form relationships.
He has a deeper understanding of physics and has gained in confidence. I would definitely recommend Katrina as a tutor.

Simon E
I am so glad I found Simon to help my son with his English (s3). My son was so reluctant to get a tutor but as soon as he met Simon he immediately liked and had a good rapport with him. Simon is excellent at recognising areas in which my son needs extra support in and is very good at adapting his lessons at the last minute to accommodate any changes in the lesson plans. My son and I are delighted to have found Simon and are happy to continue working with him - hopefully for the duration of s4 and possibly beyond.
