Why Strong Higher English Skills Open Doors for Your Child

Higher English is more than just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks future opportunities. The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespeare to modern poetry, and build a persuasive argument is a skill your child will use throughout university and their future career. A great grade in English demonstrates they can think critically and communicate clearly, which is exactly what top universities look for.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an English tutor help with a UCAS personal statement for universities like Aberdeen or RGU?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements that stand out. They can help your child structure their ideas, refine their writing, and confidently showcase their strengths for their university application.

My child goes to Elgin Academy/Elgin High School. Can a tutor support their specific coursework?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors can tailor their lessons to align with the SQA curriculum and the specific texts or assignments your child is working on at school. This ensures the tutoring directly supports their classroom learning and helps them prepare for assessments.

How do I choose the best 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. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way to make sure they're the right fit for your child before booking a lesson.

How much does online English tutoring cost in Elgin?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using our search filters. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.

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

We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous interview process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best tutors in the UK.

How do 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 way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?

Confidence is a huge part of learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief step by step.

How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?

It varies for every child. Some students need a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly sessions over a longer period. The goal is always to build independent learning skills, and your tutor will work with you to create a plan that fits your child's needs.

What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?

Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve reviewing a school essay, practising exam techniques, analysing a poem, or planning a critical essay. The focus is always on the areas where your child needs the most support.

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. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.

How do I track my child's progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
