Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried their National 5 English grade will stop them taking Highers. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is a very common concern for parents. Our tutors specialise in building the core skills and confidence needed to bridge the gap between National 5 and Higher. They can focus on specific areas, from essay writing to textual analysis, to help your child secure the grade they need to progress.

Can a tutor help my child with their UCAS application for universities like Glasgow or Strathclyde?

Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their personal statements. They can help your child structure their thoughts, showcase their strengths, and write a compelling statement that stands out on applications for competitive courses.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews and ratings from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking your first lesson.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

Finding the right personality match is really important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Can a tutor really help improve my child's confidence?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. This personalised encouragement and success in lessons often leads to a big boost in self-belief in the classroom.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way video stream, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We interview them and verify their ID and qualifications. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from Primary to university level, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even mastering a new language for fun.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This completely depends on your child's goals. Most students have one lesson per week to build momentum, but you can arrange sessions more or less frequently depending on what works for your family. It's completely flexible.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude and school results quite quickly.

What does my child need to prepare for their first lesson?

It's helpful if your child can bring along any specific topics they're struggling with, like a piece of homework or a tricky text from class. But don't worry, the tutor will guide the first session to understand your child's needs and make them feel comfortable.
