Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with their Higher English for the application?
Absolutely. A strong pass in Higher English is often a key requirement for competitive courses at Scottish universities. Our tutors can help your child master the specific skills needed to excel in their exams, strengthening their UCAS application and giving them the best possible chance of securing a place.
My child attends a school in East Ayrshire like Grange Academy. Do your tutors understand the Scottish curriculum?
Yes, many of our tutors are experts in the Scottish curriculum, including the specific requirements for National 5 and Higher qualifications set by the SQA. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and find someone who is a great match for the support your child needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We believe learning is for life, not just for exams! While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have inspiring mentors who can teach everything from coding and music production to playing the guitar. It's a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a new skill.
There are so many tutors. How do I choose the right one for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by their experience, what they specialise in, and their availability. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to a few to ask questions before you book. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
How much does an online English tutor in East Ayrshire cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £40, depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down topics your child finds difficult, celebrate small wins, and show them they are capable of succeeding. It can make a world of difference.
How do online lessons actually work? What do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it an engaging and effective way to learn.
How do you vet your tutors? How do I know they're safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We interview every tutor and are very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply – so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted, high-quality professional.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or you can arrange sessions as and when you need them. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, the tutor gets a clear picture of their strengths and the areas they need to work on. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and, of course, in their schoolwork and results.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the Higher English course, like the critical essay?
Yes, definitely. That's the beauty of one-to-one support. If your child is finding the critical essay or the RUAE paper particularly challenging, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering those specific skills, using past papers and targeted exercises to build their competence and confidence.
