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

You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can trust the experiences of other parents.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a course at Ayrshire College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the core English skills, like critical reading and essay writing, that are essential for success in further education courses at places like Ayrshire College.
My child is aiming for a university like UWS or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A strong foundation in English is vital for university applications and study. Our tutors can help your child master the skills needed for Highers and Advanced Highers, strengthening their university application and preparing them for undergraduate-level work.
How much does an English tutor in Kilwinning cost?
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 expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and secure. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous interview process. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. 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 a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, one lesson at a time.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying at Kilwinning Academy?
Yes. When you search for a tutor, you can specify your child's needs. Many tutors have extensive experience with the SQA curriculum and texts commonly studied for National 5 and Highers, so they can provide targeted, relevant support.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent sessions as needed, all in agreement with your tutor.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for real progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In the long term, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer school subjects like English?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level and beyond, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn creative writing, play the guitar, or get started with coding, we can help.
