How a Strong English Pass Opens Doors for Your Child
A good grade in English isn't just about passing an exam; it's a core qualification that employers and higher education institutions look for first. It's the key that can unlock access to the courses your child is dreaming of. The skills they'll sharpen – from analysing a poem by Edwin Morgan to structuring a persuasive essay – are the same skills they'll need for presentations at college, writing reports at university, and communicating clearly in their future career.

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.
