Aileen L
Experienced and encouraging English Literature tutor
As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards.

Alexandra J
I am delighted to offer tutoring on a variety of subjects!
I am originally from Toronto, Canada but now work as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh.My style of teaching is flexible in that it would be planned based on the needs of the student and ultimately my lessons would be student-led. Thus, while I would make a lesson plan, it would be amenable to change based on the needs and requests of the student. I am calm, patient and encouraging in my approach to teaching, so am happy to go at whatever pace best suits the student.   I have an extensive knowledge and experience of teaching varying levels of academic writing reading from primary school ...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help me prepare for Higher and Advanced Higher exams specifically for Scottish universities like the University of Edinburgh?

Absolutely! Many of our tutors specialise in the Scottish SQA curriculum, including Higher and Advanced Higher exams. They can provide targeted support to help you achieve the strong grades needed for competitive courses at universities like the University of Edinburgh, Glasgow, or St Andrews, giving you a real edge in your applications.

My school in Edinburgh has a really strong academic reputation, like Boroughmuir High or George Watson's College. Can tutors match that level of challenge?

Yes, our tutors are highly experienced and used to working with ambitious students from top schools across the UK, including those with high academic standards like Boroughmuir High and George Watson's College. They can help you excel in challenging subjects and even go beyond the curriculum to deepen your understanding, ensuring you're well-prepared for any academic hurdle.

Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can I learn other skills too?

We offer a huge range of subjects! While we have excellent tutors for all your school needs like Maths, English, and Sciences, you can also find tutors to help you learn new skills like coding, Python, playing the guitar, or even improving your creative writing. It's all about what you want to learn!

What if I don't get on with my first tutor?

We want you to feel completely comfortable with your tutor, which is why we offer 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. We'll help you find someone who is a perfect fit for your learning style.

How do I find the right online tutor in Edinburgh for me?

It's really straightforward! You can search for "tutors in Edinburgh" on our platform, filter by subject, level, and even read reviews from other students. Take your time to browse profiles, watch intro videos, and send messages to tutors to see if they're a good fit before booking.

How much does online tutoring usually cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and the subject, but you'll see their hourly rates clearly displayed on their profiles. You can set your budget when searching, so you only see tutors who fit your price range. There are no hidden fees, just clear pricing.

How can a tutor help me build my confidence?

A great tutor acts as your personal cheerleader and guide. By breaking down tricky topics, celebrating your small wins, and creating a supportive learning environment, they help you understand that you *can* master challenging material. This personalised attention naturally boosts your confidence, making you feel more capable in class and during exams.

What happens during an online tutoring session?

Your online session takes place in our virtual classroom, which has a shared whiteboard, text editor, and video chat. You and your tutor can write, draw, share documents, and talk just like you would in person. It's a really interactive and effective way to learn, all from the comfort of your home.

How quickly can I start learning with a tutor?

You can start almost straight away! Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to discuss your needs and book your first lesson. Many tutors have availability very soon, so you could be having your first session within a day or two.

Do I need any special equipment for online lessons?

All you really need is a computer or tablet with a reliable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Most devices already have these built-in. Our virtual classroom works in your web browser, so you don't need to download any special software.

Can a tutor help me with specific exam techniques or revision strategies?

Absolutely! Tutors are fantastic at helping you develop effective revision timetables, understand different exam question types, and practice past papers. They can teach you strategies for managing your time, tackling difficult questions, and reducing exam stress, giving you the best chance to show what you know.

What if I need help with more than one subject?

No problem at all! You can find different tutors for different subjects, or sometimes even one tutor might be qualified to help you with related subjects. Just search for each subject you need help with, and you'll find plenty of options to support all your learning goals.
