Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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.
