Why Higher English is Key to Your Child's University Goals
Higher English isn't just about analysing Shakespeare or writing critical essays; it's the foundation for strong communication and analytical skills that universities value highly. A great grade demonstrates your child's ability to think critically and argue persuasively, skills that are essential for any degree course, from Law at Glasgow to Medicine at St Andrews. It's the qualification that can make their university application stand out from the crowd.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Lenzie Academy and is worried about Higher English. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum, including the SQA Higher English course. They can provide targeted support on everything from folio pieces to exam technique, helping your child feel prepared and confident in a competitive school environment.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with the English grade needed?
Yes, our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for top universities. They can focus on the specific skills and grade improvements needed to make your child's application as strong as possible, giving them a competitive edge for places like Edinburgh, Glasgow, or St Andrews.
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 teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs for Higher English before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to build confidence. In a supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class, work at their own pace, and see their skills improve, which is a huge confidence booster.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts together, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from home.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the very best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Many families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, especially in the run-up to exams like the Highers. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, you can also find experts to help your child learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even get to grips with coding. It's all about supporting their passions and development.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their understanding deepen is often the clearest sign of success.
What does my child need for their first online lesson?
Just a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. It's a good idea for them to have any specific homework or texts they want to work on handy, so they can dive straight in.
