Why a Strong Higher English Grade is So Important
Higher English isn't just about analysing Shakespeare; it's about developing the critical thinking and communication skills your child will need for any degree and future career. A strong pass, especially an 'A', doesn't just meet the entry requirements for top universities in Scotland and beyond – it shows admissions tutors that your child can argue a point, structure an essay, and think independently. These are the skills that will help them thrive, whatever path they choose.

English Tutor - Before you learn anything else, you have to be able to read.
I am a subtitler with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and linguistics, with a passion for books and reading. I firmly believe that language and literacy skills are integral to every aspect of life and my love of this topic was only further enhanced by my high school English teacher. Through tutoring, I hope to pass on-or share with others-the same love and appreciation for written matter that my teacher so effectively fostered in me.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students secure places at top universities, including Glasgow and Strathclyde. They can focus on developing the advanced critical essay skills needed to achieve the 'A' grade that makes an application stand out.
We're in the catchment for a top Glasgow school like Williamwood High. Can a tutor help my child keep up with the high expectations?
Yes, definitely. A tutor can provide brilliant support to help your child thrive in a high-achieving school environment. They can work in step with the school curriculum, helping to consolidate classroom learning and tackle any specific areas your child finds challenging in Higher English.
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 for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply 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 tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Look for tutors with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether that's Scottish set texts, essay writing, or general confidence building. You can even message them before booking to ensure they're a good fit.
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 an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and provide references. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover an interest in the subject.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus purely on learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic support for exams like the Highers or GCSEs, your child can learn anything from a new language to coding, or even take up a hobby like playing the guitar. It's all about personal development.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to work on a specific topic, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for your family.
How can a tutor help my child with exam technique?
This is a key area where tutors can make a big impact. They can work through past papers, teach your child how to understand what a question is really asking, and help them structure their answers to earn the maximum marks. It’s about building both knowledge and exam-day confidence.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many families, it's even more effective. With our purpose-built online classroom, lessons are just as interactive. Plus, you get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just your local area, and the flexibility of learning from home saves you time and travel.
