Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Hi Myles,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help them get the Higher English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for families we support. Our tutors are experienced in the Higher English curriculum and can focus specifically on the skills needed to achieve a top grade, from critical essay writing to detailed textual analysis, to help strengthen their university application.
We live in Stonehouse and are concerned about the step-up to Higher English from a local comprehensive. How can a tutor help?
A one-to-one tutor is the perfect way to bridge that gap. They can provide focused, individual support that builds on what your child learns at school, helping to solidify their understanding and build the confidence needed to excel in a more demanding academic environment.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 much does online English tuition cost in Stonehouse?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price on our search page to find an excellent tutor that fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no 'silly questions'. A tutor creates a safe space for your child to make mistakes, ask for help, and master topics at their own pace, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more lessons during exam periods or fewer during holidays, whatever works best for your child and your family's schedule.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each session, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with Higher English, your child could also learn to play the guitar, master a new language, or even get help with coding. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour. We find this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor if needed.
