Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish SQA curriculum for National 5 and Higher English?
Yes, absolutely. You can filter your search for tutors with specific experience in the Scottish curriculum. Many of our tutors are experts in preparing students for SQA exams, helping them with everything from textual analysis to crafting portfolio essays.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Aberdeen. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. A tutor can help your child develop the strong analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the Higher English grades required for competitive courses at the University of Aberdeen. They can also provide support with personal statement writing, ensuring their application stands out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. The best tutor is one your child feels comfortable with.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to learn effectively from the comfort of your home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important for learning. 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 much does an English tutor in Aberdeenshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges, they start to see what they're capable of, which can make a huge difference in the classroom.
How long should a tutoring session be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's age and concentration span.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. This allows time to build on what was learned in the previous lesson and prepare for the next. You can always arrange more frequent sessions around exam time if needed.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and their school results. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills, far beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor to help.
