It builds the critical thinking and communication skills essential for courses in humanities and law at prestigious universities like Heriot-Watt or the University of Edinburgh. From structuring a persuasive essay to analysing complex texts, these abilities will benefit your child throughout their academic and professional life.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students develop the advanced critical analysis and essay writing skills needed to stand out in applications for competitive courses, including those at Scotland's top universities.
Do your tutors understand the Scottish curriculum, specifically National 5 and Higher English?
Yes. You can filter for tutors with specific experience in the Scottish curriculum. They can provide targeted support for everything from understanding set texts to preparing for the final SQA exams, ensuring the content is perfectly matched to what your child is learning in school.
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 messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Newbridge?
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 budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'Macbeth' or a poetry anthology?
Definitely. A great benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to exactly what your child is studying. Whether it's analysing quotes from a specific play or understanding the themes in a collection of poems, their tutor can help.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills like creative writing?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have tutors who can help your child explore other interests. You can find expert tutors for everything from creative writing and public speaking to learning a musical instrument or coding.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to suit your child's needs.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's designed to be as simple and flexible as possible for you.
