Q: Can a tutor help my child feel more confident with the curriculum at schools like Dunfermline High or Queen Anne High?

Yes, that's exactly what our tutors are here for. They can work in line with your child's school curriculum, offering extra support to reinforce what's being taught in class. This helps to build confidence and ensures they feel prepared for tests and assessments.

Q: How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any specific questions you might have.

Q: 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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Q: How much do online English tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Q: How can an online tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tuition creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help replace 'I can't do it' with a sense of achievement, which can make a huge difference to their overall confidence.

Q: Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally interviewed by our team to ensure they are a trusted and high-quality educator.

Q: Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we cover all academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python, we believe in changing lives through learning in all its forms.

Q: How long is a typical tutoring session?

The standard session length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can arrange longer or shorter sessions by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.

Q: What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.

Lee N

Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work. What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go. Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora I

Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning. She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.
