A strong pass in English, particularly at National 5 and Higher level, is more than just a grade – it's a key that unlocks opportunities. 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.

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 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.
