Why Stronger English Skills Open University Doors
Higher English is more than just a qualification; it's a vital skill that universities look for. It teaches your child how to build a strong argument, analyse complex texts, and communicate their ideas clearly – whether they're breaking down a Shakespeare sonnet or writing a science report. These are the exact skills they'll need to thrive on competitive courses and in their future career, making it a cornerstone of their academic journey.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Edinburgh or Glasgow. Can a tutor help with the specific Higher English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum and have experience helping students prepare for the demands of Higher English. They can focus on developing the critical analysis and essay writing skills that are essential for securing a place on competitive university courses.
We live in Bo'ness and I'm worried my child isn't getting the same support as those in other towns. How can online tutoring help?
Online tutoring levels the playing field, giving your child access to the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. It ensures they receive expert, one-to-one support tailored specifically to their needs, helping them build the skills and confidence to match any student, anywhere.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Will the tutor be familiar with the Scottish curriculum, like National 5 and Higher English?
Yes. You can easily filter your search to find tutors with specific experience in the SQA curriculum. Many tutors state their expertise in National 5, Highers, and Advanced Highers directly on their profiles, so you can find someone who knows exactly what the examiners are looking for.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a strict vetting process, which includes a background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals for Higher English before booking. It helps ensure you find the perfect match.
My child lacks confidence, especially with essay writing. How can a tutor help with that?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tasks and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step-by-step.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child. A session might involve planning an essay structure on the interactive whiteboard, analysing a poem together, or working through past paper questions. It's always a collaborative and focused session designed to tackle the areas your child finds most difficult.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and drawing diagrams, and a facility for uploading documents like past papers or essays. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are one hour long, and most families choose to have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor, whether that's a weekly lesson or a few extra sessions before an important exam.
Is it just for school subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
While we love helping students with academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help them find a brilliant tutor.
