Holly E
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific demands of the Scottish Higher English curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the SQA curriculum and have extensive experience helping students in Westhill and across Scotland excel in their National 5 and Higher exams. They can provide targeted support on everything from critical essays to close reading, focusing on what the examiners are looking for.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Aberdeen. Can a tutor help strengthen their application?
Yes, securing a top grade in Higher English is vital for competitive courses. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve an A, which will significantly strengthen their university application and prepare them for the demands of degree-level study.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it’s not the right fit, 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 tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check and identity verification before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. Our tutors create a positive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics like poetry analysis or essay structure into manageable steps, they help rebuild self-belief and show your child what they're truly capable of.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, and we generally find a weekly lesson works best for consistent progress. However, you and your tutor can agree on a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's more frequent sessions before an exam or fortnightly lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also believe in learning for fun and personal growth. You can find experienced tutors for a wide range of skills, from learning the guitar or a new language to coding in Python.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage our tutors to provide regular feedback after each session so you can stay informed about what your child is learning and how they're progressing towards their goals. You can also message your tutor at any time through the platform.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be busy. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can reschedule or cancel a lesson with up to 24 hours' notice without being charged.
