Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Park Mains High School. Can a tutor help with the specific demands of Higher English?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum and understand the leap from National 5 to Higher. They can provide focused support on the key skills your child needs, like critical essay writing, textual analysis, and preparing for the final exam, to help them aim for the highest possible grade.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help?
Yes, a tutor can be a great help. Achieving a top grade in Higher English is often a key requirement for competitive courses. A tutor can help your child build the skills and confidence to secure the A or B grade that will strengthen their university application and set them up for success in their degree.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step towards building their confidence and skills.
How much does an online English tutor in Erskine cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them build genuine self-belief.
Are your tutors qualified to teach the Scottish curriculum?
Yes, many of our tutors are experts in the SQA curriculum, with experience teaching National 5s and Highers. You can see a tutor's experience on their profile and can message them to ensure they are the right fit for your child's studies.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and reference-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best for consistent progress. However, you can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child learn a new skill, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or learning a new language. It's all about changing lives through learning.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. You can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if your child needs something different.
