English Tutor - Before you learn anything else, you have to be able to read.
I am a subtitler with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and linguistics, with a passion for books and reading. I firmly believe that language and literacy skills are integral to every aspect of life and my love of this topic was only further enhanced by my high school English teacher. Through tutoring, I hope to pass on-or share with others-the same love and appreciation for written matter that my teacher so effectively fostered in me.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their Higher English?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum and can provide targeted support for Higher English. They can help your child refine their essay writing, deepen their textual analysis, and build the skills needed to achieve the grades required for top university applications.
The pressure at local schools is high. How can a tutor help my child manage the stress of National 5 English?
We understand the pressure you and your child might be feeling. A one-to-one tutor provides a supportive, low-stress environment where your child can ask questions freely and work at their own pace. By breaking down difficult topics and building their confidence, a tutor can help make exam preparation feel much more manageable.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding the right personality match is just as important as finding the right expertise.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor can identify the specific areas where your child is struggling and provide patient, encouraging support. Celebrating small wins and seeing their grades improve can do wonders for their self-esteem.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ to university level, we also have tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or PVG background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions. Ultimately, you'll see the results in your child's growing confidence, their improved understanding, and their school reports.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to install.
