Opening Doors for Your Child with Higher English

English isn't just another subject; it's a skill that underpins success across the board. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument about a poem is exactly what top universities look for. These skills are vital for writing a compelling personal statement for UCAS and will give your child a huge advantage in their future career, whatever path they choose.

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support! Joanna

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning. Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching. I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried their Higher English essays aren't strong enough for universities like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is a very common concern and it's exactly where a specialist tutor can help. They can work with your child to deconstruct essay questions, develop stronger arguments, and refine their writing style to meet the high standards expected by top universities.

We live in a remote part of the Highlands. Does online tutoring really work as well as in-person?

Yes, and many families find it works even better. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a whiteboard that make lessons engaging. Plus, it removes the stress of travel and gives your child access to a much wider choice of expert tutors than might be available locally.

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

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

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

We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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 I be sure the 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 only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who also fits your family's budget.

My child lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes. One of the greatest benefits of one-to-one tuition is seeing a child's confidence grow. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might not ask in class, helping them to feel much more capable and positive about the subject.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom is simple to use. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. The classroom has a video chat function and an interactive whiteboard to make learning collaborative and effective.

Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or modern poetry?

Definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in particular areas of the curriculum. Whether it's getting to grips with 'Macbeth' or understanding the nuances of Carol Ann Duffy's poetry, you can find a tutor with the right expertise to support your child.

How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.

What if we need to change or cancel a lesson?

Life is busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, which gives you the flexibility to reschedule lessons when you need to, without any hassle.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
