Why a Strong Pass in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks so many future paths. The ability to analyse a text, structure a convincing argument, or understand complex ideas is essential for almost every Higher subject. Whether your child is dissecting a quote from 'Macbeth' or building an essay, they're developing critical thinking skills that universities and employers value highly. A strong foundation in English gives them the confidence and the qualification to pursue their ambitions, whether that’s a degree at the University of Stirling or another top Scottish university.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Alva Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with the SQA curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum and have extensive experience helping students with their National 5 and Higher exams. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience with the SQA framework and find the perfect match for your child.
We're worried about the step up from National 5 to Higher English. Can a tutor help my child prepare for this?
Yes, this is a very common concern for parents, and it's an area where our tutors can provide fantastic support. A tutor can work with your child to bridge the gap, strengthening the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to succeed at Higher level. This ensures they start S5 feeling capable and prepared for the new challenges.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse profiles, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose profile mentions experience with your child's specific exam level (e.g., National 5) and whose teaching style seems like a good fit for your child's personality.
What 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 for any reason, just 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?
By providing a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps. This personalised attention often leads to 'lightbulb moments' that really boost a child's self-belief. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Are all 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, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from an expert tutor, right from the comfort of home.
Can tutoring help with the specific texts studied for National 5?
Definitely. Whether it's analysing a Shakespeare play, understanding the themes in a Scottish set text, or tackling unseen poetry, a tutor can provide focused support on the exact areas your child finds tricky. This tailored help is fantastic for exam preparation.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It’s for so much more! While we have experts for core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors who can teach musical instruments like guitar, coding languages like Python, or even help with university applications. It’s all about helping your child explore their interests and build new skills.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can often find a tutor and start lessons within 48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat so you and your child can meet them first to ensure they're the right fit before booking your first session.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
