Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including crafting powerful personal statements that stand out. They can help your child articulate their skills and ambitions, which is key for competitive courses.
The academic pressure in East Renfrewshire is high. Can a tutor help my child keep up at Barrhead High?
Yes, that's a common reason parents seek support. A tutor can provide a calm, focused environment away from classroom pressures. They can work at your child's pace, reinforcing what's taught at school and targeting specific areas of difficulty, like the critical essay skills needed for National 5s.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience with the Scottish curriculum and National 5 English. This helps you find someone who is a great fit for your child's needs and personality.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous interview process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll find a range of options to suit your budget, and all pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees.
Will tutoring really help my child's confidence?
It's one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention in a supportive space allows your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief grows, which has a positive impact on all their studies.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts or planning essays together, and a way to share documents. It's a secure and effective way to learn from home.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of interests! Beyond core subjects like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to preparing for the 11+ or developing new hobbies.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss a plan with your tutor after the first session.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child has fallen behind?
Definitely. A tutor can identify the specific gaps in your child's knowledge and create a plan to help them catch up and feel confident again. It's a great way to provide targeted support exactly where it's needed.
