As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study at the University of Edinburgh or St Andrews. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS personal statements and preparing for the level of critical thinking required for top Scottish universities. They can help your child demonstrate the depth of understanding needed to stand out in a competitive application process.

The schools in East Lothian are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child keep up?

Absolutely. A tutor provides personalised support that complements the excellent teaching in schools like North Berwick High or Dunbar Grammar. They can help fill any knowledge gaps, reinforce classroom learning, and build your child's confidence to excel in a competitive environment.

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

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs for Higher English to ensure you find the perfect match.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.

My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

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, allowing you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

How does online tutoring actually work?

Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.

Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like textual analysis?

Definitely. Tutors can create lessons focused entirely on your child's specific areas of difficulty, whether it's analysing poetry, understanding Shakespeare, or mastering essay structure for their exams. Just let them know what you need help with.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule with your tutor that works for your child’s needs and your family's routine, whether that's a weekly top-up or more intensive support before an exam.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find experts to help your child learn a new skill, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or even preparing for a music theory exam.

How do I know if tutoring is working?

You can check in with the tutor for feedback on your child's progress. Often, the first thing you'll notice is a boost in your child's confidence and how they talk about a subject, which is a great sign that their grades will soon follow.
