Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Their Future
English is more than just another subject; it’s a core qualification that opens doors. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'Macbeth', structure a persuasive essay, or master close reading skills is exactly what top universities and employers look for. A strong pass in National 5 and Higher English gives your child the foundation they need to pursue their chosen course and build a successful career, giving you peace of mind.

Holly E
Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with the specific Higher English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive universities. They can focus on the specific essay writing and analytical skills needed to achieve the highest grades in Higher English.
The standards at schools like Paisley Grammar are high. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, reinforcing what they've learned in class and providing extra support in areas where they might be struggling. This can be a great way to reduce pressure and ensure they don't fall behind.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience with the Scottish curriculum. We recommend having a chat first to make sure their teaching style is a good fit for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 in Paisley?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate or equivalent background check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Building confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Having a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement can make a huge difference to your child's self-esteem and their attitude towards learning.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent weekly lessons can make a significant impact. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, master a programming language like Python, or pick up a new hobby, we have expert tutors who can help.
What if my child's schedule is already really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends, to fit around school, clubs, and family life.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never need to handle cash.
