Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific SQA requirements for universities like Glasgow or Strathclyde?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum and have extensive experience helping students meet the entry requirements for top universities. You can filter for tutors with SQA experience and even mention specific university goals in your first message.
My child attends Caldervale High School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the National 5 and Higher English courses?
Of course. Our tutors support students from schools all across the country, including Airdrie. They are well-versed in the SQA curriculum and can tailor lessons to cover the specific texts, assessments, and exam techniques your child will be working on in school.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. This gives you a great feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before you book a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £20 and £45 per hour. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons happen in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through past papers, analyse texts, and plan essays with their tutor in real-time.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor creates a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, step by step.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks and background checks to ensure they are safe to work with children.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. With regular lessons, you can expect to see a real improvement in their understanding and grades over a term.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with English, Maths, and Science, your child could also learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get help with coding. It's about supporting all kinds of learning.
Can we get help with exam technique as well as the subject content?
Yes, exam technique is a crucial part of what our tutors do. They can help your child understand what examiners are looking for, manage their time effectively in an exam, and structure their answers to get the highest possible marks.
