How do you choose your online Writing tutors in Scotland?

We're very selective! We carefully vet all our tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. This includes thorough background checks and ensuring they have the expertise and teaching approach to really help your child thrive in Writing. You can feel confident that your child will be learning from the best.

Can a Writing tutor help my child prepare for Higher exams in Scotland?

Absolutely. Our tutors are highly experienced with the Scottish curriculum, including National 5 and Higher exams. They can provide targeted support to help your child master essay writing, critical analysis, and persuasive arguments, which are crucial for achieving top grades in their Higher assessments and beyond.

Will an online Writing tutor help my child with university applications to places like Edinburgh or St Andrews?

Yes, strong writing is essential for university applications. A tutor can help your child refine their personal statements, develop clear and concise communication skills, and build the analytical writing abilities that are highly valued by competitive universities across the UK, including Edinburgh, St Andrews, and Glasgow.

What kind of progress can I expect for my child's Writing skills?

We're proud of the results our students achieve. 90% of students improve by at least one grade with Tutorful. Our personalised approach, tailored to your child's specific needs, helps them build confidence and make tangible progress in their writing. Our platform is rated 4.6 stars from over 4,100+ customer reviews, reflecting the positive experiences of many parents like you.

How much does online Writing tutoring cost?

Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find options to suit different budgets. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile. We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden fees – you only pay for the lessons your child takes.

How does online tutoring actually work for my child?

It's really straightforward! Your child will connect with their tutor in our easy-to-use online classroom, which has a virtual whiteboard, text editor, and video chat. It’s an interactive and engaging environment where they can work through examples, share documents, and get immediate feedback, all from the comfort of home.

What if my child doesn't get along with their first tutor?

We want your child to have the best possible learning experience. 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.

Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo thorough background checks, and our online classroom environment is designed to be secure and monitored. We're a trusted platform, chosen by over 200,000 happy students, giving you peace of mind.

How can a Writing tutor help my child build confidence?

Confidence often comes from understanding and success. A one-to-one tutor can identify your child’s specific challenges, break down complex writing tasks into manageable steps, and provide positive encouragement. This personalised support helps your child feel more capable and assured in their writing abilities.

Can my child get help with essay writing for subjects beyond English, like History or Modern Studies?

Absolutely. The writing skills developed with a tutor are transferable across many subjects. Our tutors can help your child structure essays for History, craft persuasive arguments for Modern Studies, or develop critical analysis for RMPS, ensuring their writing supports their grades in all their academic pursuits.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we excel in academic support for subjects like Writing, Maths, or Science, Tutorful also offers a wide range of tutors for other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or develop specific personal development skills, you can find an expert here.

What if my child doesn't get along with their first tutor?

You can browse tutor profiles right now and send messages to those who look like a good fit for your child. Many tutors are available to start lessons very quickly, often within a day or two, so your child can begin making progress with their writing skills without delay.
