Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help them develop the essay skills needed for their application?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for university-level study. They can focus on developing the advanced critical thinking and essay writing skills that admissions tutors at competitive universities, like Glasgow, are looking for.
Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum, specifically National 5 and Higher English?
Yes. You can filter your search to find tutors with specific experience in the SQA curriculum. They understand the requirements for National 5 and Higher English, from folio pieces to the final exam, ensuring the support your child receives is completely relevant.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a partnership, so finding the right fit is key. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area they need help with.
How much does online English tutoring in Clydebank cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, giving you a wide range of options to suit your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. This personalised attention helps them master topics at their own pace, and seeing their own progress is one of the biggest confidence boosters there is.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want you to be 100% happy. With 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.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child to plan an essay, analyse a text together on the whiteboard, or review past paper questions to improve their exam technique.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Our goal is to create sustainable progress that builds week on week.
My child is already doing well. Can tutoring still help them?
Definitely. Tutoring isn't just for catching up; it's also for stretching high-achievers. A tutor can introduce your child to more complex ideas and help them refine their skills to turn a good grade into an excellent one, which can make a real difference in a competitive UCAS application.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or practise public speaking, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
What do I need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a microphone. A webcam is also helpful for building a good rapport with their tutor. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser.
