Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks so many doors. A strong Higher English grade is often a requirement for competitive university courses across Scotland and the UK. More than that, the skills your child develops—from analysing a poet's word choice to structuring a persuasive essay—are essential for almost any career path they choose to follow. It gives them the confidence to communicate their ideas clearly, a skill they'll use for life.

Focused English Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals
We believe the right tutor does more than just teach; they inspire. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also caring, background-checked mentors. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns best, whether they struggle with Shakespearean language or need help structuring their essays, creating a supportive space where it’s safe to ask questions. Every online lesson is built around your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the tutor will focus on the exact areas your child needs to improve. This could mean spending a session deconstructing complex poetry for their Higher exam or practising critical essay techniques to turn a good grade into a great one. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the perfect match is simple, and because it’s all online, you can forget about extra travel after a long school day. You can connect with the UK's best English tutors from your home in Perth, Kinross, or anywhere in between. Lessons can be scheduled at times that suit your family, making it easy to fit that extra support into a busy week.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about the step up from National 5 to Higher English. Can a tutor help with that specific transition?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for many parents, and our tutors are experienced in guiding students through this important step. They can help bridge the gap by reinforcing core skills, introducing the new demands of the Higher curriculum, and building your child's confidence so they feel fully prepared.
We're aiming for a competitive course at St Andrews or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with the specific English requirements?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students secure places at top universities. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the highest grades, ensuring your child's application is as strong as it can be.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they’re the right fit for your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to successful 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 do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to work through texts, analyse quotes, and plan essays together in real-time.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an ID check and a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style, helping your child feel capable and motivated.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for academic subjects from Primary through to university level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have a tutor who can help.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to create a plan that works for you.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, and we understand that plans change. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
