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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for the specific entry requirements of Scotland's top universities. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the grades required for competitive courses.
Are the tutors familiar with the SQA curriculum for Higher English?
Yes, you can find tutors who specialise in the Scottish curriculum. When searching, you can view each tutor's profile to see their experience with SQA qualifications, including the National 5 and Higher English courses, ensuring they can help with specifics like the RUAE paper and the critical essay.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe, encouraging environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to how your child learns best, which helps them feel more capable and less anxious about their studies.
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, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and the quality of our tutoring very seriously. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked, ensuring you can have complete peace of mind.
Can tutoring help my child improve their grades?
Yes, it can make a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The personalised attention helps fill in any gaps in their knowledge and builds the skills they need to succeed in their exams.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language. It's all about finding their passion.
What do we need for online lessons?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including an interactive whiteboard.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students find a weekly session works best, as it provides consistent support and keeps momentum going. However, this is completely flexible and something you can arrange with your tutor to fit your child's needs, whether it's a regular slot or just a few sessions before an exam.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal for keeping your child engaged and focused. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your family.
