The course develops crucial life skills – from critically analysing a complex text to structuring a persuasive argument. These are the abilities that will help your child excel not only in their exams, but also in their future studies and career.

Personalised English Support to Navigate the Jump to Higher
The right tutor takes the time to understand your child as an individual – how they learn, what they find tricky, and what sparks their interest. Whether it's breaking down the themes in 'Macbeth' or building a powerful argument for a discursive essay, they'll create a supportive partnership that helps everything click into place. It’s a level of personal attention that can be difficult to find in a busy classroom. Every single lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they’re struggling to analyse a poet's use of imagery one week, that’s what the session will focus on. This tailored approach is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. It ensures your child is making real, measurable progress in the areas that matter most to them. We make finding that perfect support simple and stress-free. With online lessons, you can connect with the UK's best background-checked tutors without leaving home, fitting sessions easily around your family's busy schedule. You can feel reassured knowing we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so your child is learning from a true expert.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help them achieve the specific Higher English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are highly experienced in the Scottish curriculum and know exactly what's required for a top grade at Higher level. They can help your child hone their critical essay skills and textual analysis to meet the entry requirements for competitive university courses.
With the high standards in areas like East Renfrewshire, how can a tutor help my child keep up?
A private tutor provides a supportive space away from classroom pressures. They can reinforce what's being taught in school, fill in any knowledge gaps, and give your child the individual attention needed to build confidence and excel, ensuring they feel prepared and not left behind.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and see if their teaching style is a good match before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. 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 complicated contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics with their tutor's help makes a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How do online lessons 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. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best, as it creates a consistent routine for learning. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at a frequency that suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from learning a new language or musical instrument to coding and public speaking.
What qualifications do the English tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including qualified teachers, university lecturers, and subject matter experts with degrees in English Literature or Language. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications and experience on their profile.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a few clicks. Many tutors can start within a few days.
