Janette W
Janette is a very dedicated tutor she helped me with my essay writing and even went beyond by reviewing my essay outside of her tutoring hours. This shows her commitment and dedication to ensure her students succeed. Her teaching techniques and approach are very easy to understand. I passed my essay and Janette helped me with grammatical errors and guided me through all my mistakes. I will definitely be using Janette in the future as she is an extremely great teacher😃
Thanks

Jen H
I would like to say a massive thank you to Jen, who has helped me through one of my toughest years at university. I had some obstacles thrown in my way but with the help of Jen and her dedication I was able to pass my final dissertation with flying colours. I honestly can’t thank Jen enough for taking the time to sit and work through my whole dissertation from top to bottom. She was able to plan her lessons around times that suited me, always showing up with new ideas and advice that helped me get to where I am today. Without Jen’s help I honestly believe I would still be in the same place I was over a year ago!! A thank you doesn’t even do the hard work Jen put in as justice!!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Dundee. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements. They can help your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject, structure their statement effectively, and showcase their skills to give them the best possible chance of securing a place at the University of Dundee.
My child attends Grove Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with the Scottish Higher curriculum?
Yes. You can filter tutors by their experience with specific curricula, including the Scottish Highers and National 5s. Many tutors specialise in the SQA system and understand the specific requirements for schools like Grove Academy or the High School of Dundee, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with what they're learning in class.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like playing the guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach hobbies and professional skills, from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or a new language. It’s all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs, like improving their analytical skills for Highers. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style and find the perfect match.
How much does an Essay Writing tutor in Dundee cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £45, depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their writing?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not knowing where to start. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own progress and build lasting self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video call, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming essay structures, and a space to share documents like past papers or drafts. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked, and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like the Highers. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be agreed with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's routine.
Can a tutor help with specific assignments or just general skills?
Both! A tutor can help your child with a specific essay they're finding tricky, but more importantly, they use that assignment to teach the underlying skills. So, while they're helping with a 'Macbeth' essay, they're also teaching your child how to analyse quotes and structure an argument—skills they can use in any future essay.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard session length is one hour, which is usually ideal for keeping your child focused and engaged. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor if needed.
