Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for West College Scotland or the University of Glasgow?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific grades needed for college and university applications. They can focus on the National 5 or Higher English curriculum, helping your child build the skills and exam technique required for a strong pass.
My child goes to school in Inverclyde. Can a tutor help with the specific Scottish curriculum?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum, including the SQA National 5 and Higher qualifications. They understand exactly what examiners are looking for and can tailor their support to what your child is learning at school right now.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will click with.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Greenock?
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 experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first English 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 tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child starts to understand topics they previously found difficult, their self-belief grows. Our tutors are skilled at celebrating small wins and creating a positive learning environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from Primary through to A-Levels and degree level, we also have tutors for music, languages, and practical skills like coding. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most of our students have one hour-long lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as and when you need them, whether that's for regular support or a few extra lessons before an exam.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy, to ensure they have time to adjust their schedule.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
