Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of St Andrews. Can a tutor help with their application?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their personal statements and preparing for the demands of university-level study. They can help your child articulate their strengths and polish their writing to make their application stand out.
With the high standards at schools like Perth High School, can a tutor help my child keep up?
Definitely. A tutor can provide a space for your child to go over topics they found tricky in class, reinforce their understanding, and even work ahead. This helps build their confidence so they feel more prepared and able to contribute in a competitive school environment.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals for National 5 or Higher English to find the perfect fit before booking.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 in Perth?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget.
Are the tutors qualified to teach the Scottish curriculum (National 5, Highers)?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experts in the SQA curriculum. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in teaching National 5 and Higher English, ensuring your child gets relevant and effective support.
How can a tutor help my child with their essay writing?
Tutors can break down the essay writing process step-by-step, from planning and structuring an argument to improving grammar and vocabulary. They provide direct, constructive feedback that helps your child understand exactly how to improve their marks.
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. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can discuss progress, see their confidence grow, and of course, see the improvement in their schoolwork and results. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Typically, sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding languages like Python, we're here to support all of your child's passions.
