Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the National 5 or Higher English curriculum used at Larkhall Academy?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the SQA curriculum. You can find tutors who specialise in National 5 and Higher English, and you can message them before booking to discuss the specific requirements of Larkhall Academy and your child's needs.
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with their Higher English?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for top grades in Higher English, which is often a key entry requirement for competitive courses at universities like Glasgow and Strathclyde. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to secure those grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to ask about their experience with the curriculum your child is studying. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child if their confidence in English is low?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their classwork too.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Lessons are tailored to your child's needs, whether that's working through past papers or analysing poetry. It’s just like being in the same room, but with the convenience of learning from home.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best in a secure online environment.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one 60-minute lesson per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you need, especially in the run-up to exams. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
While every child learns at their own pace, our focused one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
How can I track my child's progress?
You can speak directly with your child's tutor through our messaging system. They will be happy to provide feedback on your child's progress, discuss areas they are working on, and suggest ways you can offer support at home.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in over 300 academic subjects, we also offer tutors for a wide range of practical and creative skills, from learning guitar and coding to mastering public speaking. It's all about helping your child discover their passions.
