Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students strengthen their university applications. They can help your child achieve the Higher English grades needed for entry and develop the critical thinking and essay-writing skills that are essential for success in degree-level study.
With the high standards at schools like Marr College, can I find a tutor experienced with the Scottish curriculum?
Yes. You can easily filter for tutors who are experts in the Scottish curriculum, including National 5s and Highers. Many have direct experience teaching the SQA syllabus and know exactly what examiners are looking for, which can be a huge confidence boost for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right person on our platform. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their experience with the Scottish curriculum, and see reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach and ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrate their small wins, and help them see that they are capable of succeeding, which makes a huge difference.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Dundonald?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts or planning essays together, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor help with both National 5 and Higher English?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are experienced across multiple levels of the Scottish curriculum. They can provide targeted support for National 5 exams and then continue working with your child as they transition to the greater demands of Higher English, ensuring a smooth and successful progression.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there are thousands of tutors available to help your child explore their passions.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
Every child is different, but consistency is key. Many parents find that weekly lessons help build momentum and confidence. Your tutor can discuss a plan with you after the first session to help your child meet their specific goals for their National 5 or Higher exams.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With thousands of expert, vetted tutors, you have an incredible choice. Our platform is easy to use, and with over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel reassured that you're joining a community trusted by over 200,000 happy students.
