English Tutor - Before you learn anything else, you have to be able to read.
I am a subtitler with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and linguistics, with a passion for books and reading. I firmly believe that language and literacy skills are integral to every aspect of life and my love of this topic was only further enhanced by my high school English teacher. Through tutoring, I hope to pass on-or share with others-the same love and appreciation for written matter that my teacher so effectively fostered in me. Having already successfully guided a number of my students to outstanding improvements in their academic careers, few things bring me greater joy than s...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the Higher English grade needed for the University of Glasgow?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum and have extensive experience helping students tackle the Higher English exam. They can focus on the specific skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive courses at universities like Glasgow and Strathclyde.
My child is worried about the RUAE paper. Can a tutor specifically help with that?
Yes, this is a very common area where students need support. A tutor can work one-to-one with your child, breaking down past papers, teaching them effective close reading techniques, and building their confidence in analysing unseen texts until it becomes second nature.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos and sending messages to a few tutors to find the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join us. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
My child lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One of the greatest benefits of one-to-one tuition is the confidence boost it provides. Tutors create a supportive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, helping them to believe in their own abilities.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a big difference quite quickly. The real goal is to build understanding and confidence, which naturally leads to better results over time. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can we schedule lessons during the school holidays or at weekends?
Yes. Our tutors offer flexible scheduling, so you can easily find sessions that fit around your family's commitments, whether that's after school, at weekends, or during the holidays.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.
We live in East Kilbride, are the tutors also local?
Because all our lessons are online, you can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in East Kilbride. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who are a perfect match for your child's needs.
