Marc M
Expert English tutor
Hi there!
My name is Marc and I am 35 years old. I live in Edinburgh and work in the publishing and intellectual property rights industry.
I completed my Higher English back in 2008 and have since studied and used the subject extensively, through school, university and the workplace, briefly working as a journalist several years ago.
I understand how much of a difference some extra time and help spent on a subject outside of a classroom can make, having used a private tutor while at school to make sure I got the Maths grades I needed.
Sometimes, a new concept or an idea is explained...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the National 5 English curriculum taught at Ardrossan Academy?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the Scottish curriculum and have experience helping students prepare specifically for their SQA National 5 exams. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and even message them to discuss your child's needs before booking.
My child hopes to study at UWS or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help them get the Higher English grade they need?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support for Higher English, helping your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the grades required for entry into competitive university courses like those at UWS and Strathclyde.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and see their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's goals before you book a session to ensure you find the perfect match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass an ID and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How will tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has the freedom to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show them they are capable, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about the subject.
How do the online lessons work?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
Can a tutor help with specific areas like understanding Shakespeare or essay writing?
Yes. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely tailored. If your child is struggling to analyse a specific play or structure a critical essay, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to mastering that exact skill.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works well for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions as often as you feel your child needs them, especially in the run-up to exams.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to university level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
How can I track my child's progress?
You can chat with your child's tutor at any time through our messaging system. Many tutors provide regular feedback after sessions, and you can discuss your child's progress and goals to ensure they are always on the right track.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
