Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
English is more than just a subject; it’s a skill that opens doors. The ability to build a compelling argument in a critical essay or analyse a line from 'Macbeth' isn't just about passing an exam. These are the exact skills your child will need for writing a strong personal statement for their university application and for succeeding in their future career. A good grade in Higher English gives them a real advantage, paving the way for college, university, and beyond.

Personalised English Support That Makes a Real Difference
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not just subject experts, but also caring mentors. An expert English tutor will get to know your child’s unique learning style and the specific requirements of the SQA curriculum, creating a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions and making progress. Every one-to-one lesson is built entirely around your child’s needs. If they’re finding poetry analysis tricky, their tutor can spend the whole session breaking it down. If they need to practise structuring essays for their Higher exam, their tutor can guide them step-by-step. This focused attention is how 90% of students on Tutorful improve by at least one grade, building skills and confidence along the way. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK, without having to worry about travel. Lessons are flexible and can be scheduled to fit around your family’s busy life in Dundee. It’s a simple, convenient way to give your child the support they need, right from your own home.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Do the tutors understand the Scottish curriculum, like National 5 and Higher English?
Yes, absolutely. You can easily filter for tutors who have specific experience with the SQA curriculum. Many of our tutors are experts in helping students navigate the jump from National 5 to Higher, focusing on the key analytical and essay skills needed to succeed.
Can a tutor help my child with their UCAS application for competitive courses at St Andrews or Dundee?
Yes. A skilled English tutor can be a fantastic help with UCAS applications. They can help your child structure their personal statement, refine their writing, and articulate their ideas clearly, which is crucial for applications to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose teaching style and experience align with your child’s specific goals, whether that's exam preparation or general confidence building.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is so important. 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?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, with rates starting from £15 per hour. The price often reflects a tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor is required to have an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview every tutor to ensure they are passionate, knowledgeable, and ready to help your child learn.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can I find a tutor for hobbies?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find experts to help your child learn skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight away.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. We have a simple 12-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule your lesson for free.
