Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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.
