Why a Top English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
A strong Higher English grade is more than just a qualification; it’s a clear signal to competitive universities like Glasgow and Edinburgh that your child is a sharp, analytical thinker. Mastering skills like deconstructing a complex poem or building a persuasive essay for their 'Macbeth' paper gives them a huge advantage, not just for their UCAS application, but for their future degree and career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Mearns Castle High. Can a tutor help them stand out in such a competitive class?
Yes, absolutely. In a high-achieving environment, a tutor provides the dedicated, one-to-one focus needed to hone specific skills. They can help your child refine their work to the standard required to move from a B to an A, giving them an edge in a competitive cohort.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with the Higher English grade needed?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the top grades required by leading Scottish universities. They can focus on the specific demands of the Higher English curriculum and exam to strengthen your child's application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check reviews from other parents, and watch introductory videos. We also recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence in English?
A one-to-one lesson provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without any classroom pressure. When they start to understand difficult concepts and see their work improve, their confidence naturally grows.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents, making it feel just like you're in the same room. It's a simple and effective way to learn.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academics like English and Maths, your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Many parents find a regular weekly lesson is most effective for steady progress, especially when preparing for exams like the Highers, but you can schedule lessons as often as you like.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. Most importantly, you'll see it in their growing confidence, their improved understanding in class, and the quality of their schoolwork and results.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no complex software to install.
