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 is hoping to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the high standards required for competitive universities. They can help your child refine their analytical and critical writing skills to the level needed for a strong Higher submission and a successful university application.
The standard at my child's school in Glasgow is very high. Can a tutor match that level?
Yes. We have a wide range of tutors, including many with experience teaching to the highest academic standards. They can provide the stretch and challenge your child needs to keep up and stand out amongst their peers, building on what they're learning in the classroom.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the Scottish Highers curriculum. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to discuss your child's specific needs before you book. It's all about finding the right personality and expertise for your child.
How can a tutor help my child move from a National 5 to a Higher level of writing?
A tutor can pinpoint the exact differences, which often involve moving from descriptive writing to critical analysis. They can work one-to-one with your child on structuring complex arguments, using evidence effectively, and developing a sophisticated academic tone – the key skills needed to achieve top grades at Higher level.
How much does online Essay Writing tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work on essays together in real-time, making notes and edits just as they would in person.
Are your tutors qualified to teach for Scottish Highers?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience with the SQA curriculum and Scottish Highers. You can see their qualifications and experience listed on their profiles and can even filter your search for tutors who specialise in this area.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! From learning practical skills like coding or public speaking to hobbies like playing the guitar or learning a new language, we can help your child explore their passions.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. All lessons are recorded for safeguarding purposes, giving you complete peace of mind that your child is learning in a safe and secure environment.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's essays?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
Can tutoring help build my child's confidence as well as their grades?
Definitely. For many children, confidence is the biggest barrier to success. A great tutor provides a supportive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This boost in self-belief often has a positive impact across all of their subjects.
