Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for top Scottish universities. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve a strong Higher English grade, which is often crucial for competitive courses at institutions like Glasgow and Strathclyde.
Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum, specifically National 5 and Higher English?
Yes. You can filter for tutors who have specific experience with the SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) curriculum. They understand the requirements for the National 5 and Higher English exams and can help your child prepare for everything from their portfolio to the final exam.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just 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 best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, ensuring you find someone who is the right fit for their personality and learning goals.
My child's confidence in English has taken a knock. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building a student's self-belief, which often leads to better grades.
How much does online English tutoring 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 an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be just as effective as being in the same room, allowing your child and their tutor to work through problems and review essays together easily.
Are your tutors background-checked?
The safety of your child is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How frequently should my child have lessons?
Most students find a weekly session is ideal for making steady progress and building momentum. This can be increased around important times like exams. It's completely flexible, and you can arrange a schedule directly with your tutor that suits your family.
What kind of improvement can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our students see great results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child feel more confident and capable in their studies, which naturally leads to better performance in school.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also help people of all ages learn new hobbies and professional skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
