How Mastering English Can Shape Your Child's Future
A strong grasp of English is more than just a grade; it's a fundamental skill that underpins success in almost every other subject and future career. From clearly structuring a critical essay on 'Macbeth' to confidently analysing unseen poetry, the skills your child develops in English are the same ones they'll need to write compelling university applications and communicate effectively in the workplace. It's the qualification that helps them build persuasive arguments and express complex ideas – abilities that universities and employers value highly.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements and wider university applications. They can help your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject, which is a key part of a successful application to competitive universities like Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Many students from schools like Strathaven Academy are aiming for top grades. Can a tutor provide that level of support?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students with high academic ambitions. They can tailor sessions to stretch and challenge your child, focusing on the nuanced skills like advanced critical analysis needed to achieve the top grades in National 5 and Higher English.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If for any reason you and your child don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like English, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child anything from coding and guitar to a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat for free, which is a great way to see if their personality and teaching style are a good match for your child.
How much does an English tutor in South Lanarkshire cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple, effective, and convenient way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are an hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor to arrange a session length that works best.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one support creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and see that they are capable of success, which is a huge confidence booster.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The real magic is in the one-to-one focus, which helps build understanding and confidence right from the first session.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like textual analysis?
Yes, definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. If your child needs specific help with textual analysis for their National 5 exam or wants to improve their essay structure, their tutor will focus the lessons entirely on those areas to give them the targeted support they need.
