It's completely understandable to worry when you see your child struggling with the pressure of National 5 English.

You're not alone in feeling this way. One-to-one online tutoring provides a supportive space where your child can build confidence and master the specific skills they need. By partnering with an expert English tutor, you can give them the focused help they need to feel prepared and positive about their studies.

Spiwe M
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. Having already successfully guided a number of my students to outstanding improvements in their academic careers, few things bring me greater joy than s...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific National 5 English curriculum at Arbroath High School?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the SQA curriculum. You can chat with tutors before booking to find someone with experience helping students from Arbroath schools with the specific challenges of National 5 and Higher English, such as critical essay writing and textual analysis.
My child hopes to study at the University of Dundee or Abertay. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A strong Higher English grade is often a key requirement. Our tutors can help your child build the analytical and writing skills needed to achieve that grade. They can also help with the communication skills needed for personal statements and university applications, giving them a real confidence boost.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals. Finding a personality your child clicks with is the first step to success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality is key. 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 do online English tutors cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20-£50 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, and there are no hidden fees or subscriptions. You simply pay for the lessons you book.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked. We also interview them and verify their qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no 'silly questions'. Your child can learn at their own pace and get the patient, focused attention they need to grasp difficult topics, which makes a huge difference to how they feel in the classroom.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families choose to have one lesson a week, but it’s completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their goals directly with your tutor, whether that's regular weekly support or a few extra sessions before an exam.
What results can I expect for my child?
Our goal is to help your child feel more capable and confident in their learning. While 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, the biggest change parents often see is a more positive attitude towards a subject they used to find difficult.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with things like learning a musical instrument or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and public speaking, you can find expert tutors to help your child explore their passions and develop new talents.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply use the search filters to find tutors who match your needs, send them a message, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a few hours. It’s that easy to arrange.
