Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their personal statements and wider university applications. They can help your child develop the critical writing and communication skills that admissions teams at top universities look for.
The standards at schools like Lenzie Academy are high. Can I find a tutor experienced with the Scottish curriculum?
Yes. You can filter our tutors by their experience with specific curricula, including the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) framework. Many tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their National 5 and Higher exams, understanding exactly what is required to succeed.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to join Tutorful.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Kirkintilloch?
The price of tutoring varies 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 family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to believe in their own ability.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor. You might want to increase sessions in the run-up to exams, for example.
What results can I expect for my child?
While every child's journey is unique, our goal is to help them achieve their best. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our platform is trusted by over 200,000 happy students, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. You can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if your child has specific needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding, Python, or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
