Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the skills needed for a competitive University of Edinburgh application?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students develop the advanced critical analysis and essay-writing skills that top universities like the University of Edinburgh look for. They can help your child articulate their ideas clearly and confidently.
My child feels pressure from peers attending schools like The Edinburgh Academy. Can a tutor help build their confidence?
This is a common concern, and one-to-one tutoring is an excellent way to address it. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and build skills at their own pace, away from classroom pressures. This boost in confidence is often one of the biggest benefits parents notice.
Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum, like National 5s and Highers?
Yes. You can filter for tutors who have specific experience with the SQA curriculum. Many of our tutors are experts in teaching for National 5 and Higher English qualifications and can provide targeted support for your child's exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few to find the best fit before booking a lesson. The right personality match can make all the difference.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week works best for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for a wide range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each completed lesson. It's simple, safe, and you never have to worry about handling cash.
