Marc M
Expert English tutor
Hi there!
My name is Marc and I am 35 years old. I live in Edinburgh and work in the publishing and intellectual property rights industry.
I completed my Higher English back in 2008 and have since studied and used the subject extensively, through school, university and the workplace, briefly working as a journalist several years ago.
I understand how much of a difference some extra time and help spent on a subject outside of a classroom can make, having used a private tutor while at school to make sure I got the Maths grades I needed.
Sometimes, a new concept or an idea is explained...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their UCAS personal statement?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements that stand out. They can help your child structure their thoughts, showcase their strengths, and refine their writing, which is a huge confidence booster for university applications.
With the high academic standards at schools like Gryffe High School, can a tutor help my child keep up with the pace of Higher English?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek support. A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. They can revisit topics, reinforce understanding, and help your child build the confidence to keep pace with the demanding curriculum.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check, before they can start teaching.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. By patiently working through difficult areas, celebrating small wins, and creating a supportive learning environment, a tutor helps your child see that they *can* succeed. This one-to-one encouragement can make a huge difference.
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. From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering skills like coding and public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions and develop new talents.
Can my child get help with specific texts for their National 5 or Higher exams?
Definitely. Our English tutors are very familiar with the SQA curriculum. Whether your child is studying a Shakespeare play, modern poetry, or a Scottish set text, their tutor can provide focused support to help them understand the material inside and out.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that a regular weekly session works best for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can book sessions as and when you need them, whether it's for regular support or for a few extra lessons before an important exam.
