You're not alone in feeling that pressure. That's where one-to-one online English tutoring can make all the difference. Our expert tutors provide personalised, supportive lessons to help your child build the confidence and skills they need to secure the grades that open doors.

Opening Doors with National 5 and Higher English

English isn't just about analysing Shakespeare; it's the foundation for so many other subjects. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential for essay-based Highers and are highly valued by top universities. Whether your child is breaking down a tricky poem for their National 5 exam or learning how to structure a compelling argument for a Higher History essay, a great English tutor can help them master the skills they need to succeed across the board.

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning. Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching. I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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.
