It’s completely understandable to worry when you see your child struggling with their English studies, especially with the pressure of National 5 exams at Broxburn Academy.

One-to-One Support to Master National 5 and Higher English
The right tutor takes the time to understand exactly how your child learns. They can quickly spot where the gaps are – whether it’s with critical essay structure or close reading techniques – and create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom. This personal connection is key to building their confidence. Every lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they need to focus on analysing quotes for their National 5 portfolio, the session will be about that. If the challenge is the step-up in analytical depth required for Higher English, their tutor will break it down into manageable steps. This tailored approach means your child makes real, noticeable progress in the areas that matter most. Finding the perfect support for your child doesn't have to be another stress on your list. With our online platform, you can connect with expert, background-checked English tutors from across the UK who fit your family's schedule. It’s simple, secure, and all from the comfort of your own home in Broxburn.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Broxburn Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with the SQA National 5 and Higher English curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience with SQA qualifications and even message them before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit to help your child with their specific needs for National 5 and Higher English.
Can a tutor help my child with their UCAS personal statement for universities like Edinburgh or Glasgow?
Definitely. A strong personal statement is crucial. An English tutor can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions clearly, and polish their writing to make their application stand out. It's a great way to use their developing English skills for a real-world, important goal.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right personality and expertise. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals before booking to find the best match.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, without you needing to worry about travel.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no silly questions. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrate their progress, and show them they are capable of succeeding. This patient, positive reinforcement makes a huge difference.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to join Tutorful.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
This really varies from student to student. Some parents use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer weekly lessons to build skills and confidence over time. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
My child finds essay writing particularly difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek an English tutor. Tutors can break down essay writing into simple steps, from planning and structuring arguments to writing a strong conclusion. They can provide targeted feedback that helps your child understand exactly how to improve.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
How do I know if tutoring is working?
Our tutors provide feedback after each lesson to keep you updated on what was covered and how your child is progressing. The best sign, however, is often seeing your child's confidence grow and hearing them talk more positively about a subject they used to find tricky.
