Why a Top Grade in Higher English Matters for Their Future
Higher English isn't just about passing an exam; it's a core qualification that universities and employers really value. The ability to analyse a complex poem, structure a persuasive essay on 'Macbeth', or clearly communicate an idea are skills that last a lifetime. A strong pass opens doors to competitive courses and gives your child a huge advantage in their future career, showing they can think critically and express themselves with confidence.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor specifically help my child with the jump from National 5 to Higher English?
Absolutely. This is a common reason parents in Falkirk seek support. Our English tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum and can focus on developing the advanced critical essay writing and textual analysis skills your child needs to succeed at Higher level.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Stirling or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications. They can provide excellent support in drafting a compelling personal statement that showcases your child's strengths and passion for their chosen subject, helping their application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs—like preparing for an exam or building confidence in essay writing—to find the perfect match.
How much does an English tutor in Falkirk 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.
Are all the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass an enhanced background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for marking up texts or brainstorming essay ideas, and a space to share documents. It’s a convenient and effective way for your child to learn from home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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.
My child's confidence in English has taken a knock. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence builder. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own pace, and start to see real progress. Celebrating those small wins is key to rebuilding their self-belief.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to an important exam, or fewer during school holidays. It's all arranged between you and your tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each session, and you can always message them to discuss how your child is getting on. This partnership helps you stay informed and ensures the tutoring is always focused on the right areas.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our tutors are generally flexible. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
