Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Levenmouth Academy. Can a tutor help them specifically with the National 5 English course?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced with the SQA curriculum, including National 5 English. They can provide targeted support on the specific texts, essays, and exam requirements your child is working on at Levenmouth Academy to help them feel confident and prepared.
We're worried about my child getting into Fife College. How can an English tutor help?
A strong pass in English is often a key entry requirement for college courses. A tutor can help your child build the specific skills needed to meet that requirement, from improving their essay writing to honing their textual analysis. This support can be crucial in helping them secure their place at Fife College.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their experience with the Scottish curriculum, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. With over 4,100+ customer reviews rating us 4.6 stars, you can feel confident in your choice.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices can vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a topic finally 'clicks' in a one-to-one session, it can be a huge boost. Tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, helping them to feel more capable and positive about their abilities in English.
Are all the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to work with us.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. This means your child and their tutor can work through essays, analyse texts, and practice exam questions together in real-time.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to creative writing or a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Typically, lessons are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. This allows the tutor to build momentum and support what your child is learning at school. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
What kind of results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is always to help them make real progress. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice, however, is a positive shift in their child's confidence and attitude towards learning.
