Why a Strong Higher English Grade is So Important
Higher English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks doors to university and future careers. The ability to analyse complex texts, structure a convincing argument in a critical essay, and communicate ideas clearly are skills that universities and employers value highly. Whether your child is breaking down a poem or analysing a character in 'Macbeth', they are developing the critical thinking skills that will help them thrive in further education and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about competing for a place at Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. An experienced tutor can focus on the specific requirements of the SQA Higher English curriculum. They can help your child master the critical essay and close reading skills needed to achieve a top grade, making their university application as strong as it can be.
We live in a remote part of Argyll and Bute. Is online tutoring really effective?
It is, and it's an ideal solution for families in geographically dispersed areas. Online tutoring gives your child access to a wider range of specialist English tutors than might be available locally, all without any travel time. Our interactive online classroom makes lessons just as engaging and effective as being in the same room.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can read reviews from other parents, watch tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, and message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will click with.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions they might feel shy about asking in class. This personalised attention helps them grasp difficult topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, and you can filter your search to match your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are your tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8 to ensure the highest quality.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for Higher English?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the SQA curriculum. You can find a tutor who specialises in the specific poets, plays, or novels your child is studying at school to give them targeted, relevant support.
What do we need for an online lesson?
It's simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools they'll need, like an interactive whiteboard, built right in.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely flexible and up to you. Many families find a one-hour session per week works well, but you can schedule more frequent lessons leading up to exams, or less frequent top-up sessions when needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or practise a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. After each lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed through the platform using your saved card details. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history in your Tutorful account.
