English Tutor - Before you learn anything else, you have to be able to read.
I am a subtitler with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and linguistics, with a passion for books and reading. I firmly believe that language and literacy skills are integral to every aspect of life and my love of this topic was only further enhanced by my high school English teacher. Through tutoring, I hope to pass on-or share with others-the same love and appreciation for written matter that my teacher so effectively fostered in me. Having already successfully guided a number of my students to outstanding improvements in their academic careers, few things bring me greater joy than s...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with Higher English to meet the entry requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in helping students prepare for the SQA Higher English exam. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge needed to achieve the grades required for entry into competitive university courses.
The standard at schools like Dalziel High is very high. Can we find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top grades in National 5 and Higher English?
Yes. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, including their familiarity with the Scottish curriculum and their track record of helping students achieve high grades. Many specialise in preparing students for National 5 and Higher qualifications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 an online English tutor in North Lanarkshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn one-to-one.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
By providing a safe, patient, and encouraging space to ask questions, a tutor can help your child overcome any anxieties they have. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics makes the subject feel much more manageable, which is a huge confidence booster.
What SQA levels do your English tutors cover?
Our tutors cover all levels of the Scottish curriculum, from National 3, 4 and 5, right through to Higher and Advanced Higher. You can filter your search to find a tutor with specific experience at your child's level.
Can my child get help with a specific English text, like a Shakespeare play?
Of course. One-to-one tutoring is perfect for focusing on specific areas. Your child and their tutor can spend entire sessions diving into a particular text, analysing quotes, and practising essay questions until they feel completely confident.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different like coding or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or practical skills like coding, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
