Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at St Andrews. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for applications to top universities, including St Andrews. They can help your child refine the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the top grades, and can also offer guidance on personal statements to help their application stand out.
Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum, like National 5 and Higher English?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. When you search, you can filter for tutors with specific experience in the SQA National 5 and Higher English courses. They understand the exam structure, marking schemes, and what's needed to succeed.
How can a tutor help my child with their essay writing?
This is one of the most common areas our tutors help with. A tutor can work one-to-one with your child to break down the essay writing process, from planning a structure and forming a strong argument to analysing quotes effectively and refining their vocabulary. This targeted support can make a huge difference.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first session isn't the right fit, don't worry. This is covered by our First Lesson Guarantee. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and ensure they're a good match before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor in Fife cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident in class?
Definitely. Often, a lack of confidence can be the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be embarrassed to ask in a busy classroom. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief often grows significantly.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. Most families find a weekly session works best, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs directly with your tutor – whether that's more frequent support before an exam or fortnightly check-ins.
How does online tutoring actually work? What do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s designed to be engaging and easy to use.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. The goal is to work in partnership with you to help your child achieve their goals, and open communication is a key part of that.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. Every UK-based tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills 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 interests.
