What makes a good tutor?
Subject knowledge is a must, but being a good tutor is really about explaining difficult concepts in a way that's clear, engaging and personalised for each student. You can have three degrees in Physics, but that doesn't mean you'll be good at explaining it at GCSE level! Tutors who can empathise with their students and help them build confidence help teens unleash their potential, and we see amazing results in just a few lessons.
Our tutors are from top UK unis, and because they're just a few years older, they can explain things in a way that teens find relatable. We interview all of our tutors, and only the friendliest and most knowledgeable make it on to our platform. We're very picky about it - just 1 in 8 applicants make the cut.
Pick from over 30 subjects at GCSE, A Level and beyond. Click below to find a tutor at the level you need:
Which tutor is right for you?
Before you look for a tutor, it's helpful to have a really clear idea of exactly where your child needs help - whether with a specific English Literature text, one area of Maths or their exam technique - and filter your choices accordingly. If you're not sure where they need to focus, having a chat with them or their teacher can help you work out the best place to start. In a free meeting, you can then ask the tutor any questions you like and see how well they get on with your child before deciding to book.
Why is online tutoring important?
Online tutoring gives kids the chance to learn at their own pace and in a way that matches their learning style. Teens are often too shy to put their hand up in class - especially if they're struggling. The reassurance of one-to-one tutoring means they can ask all the questions they want, and go over topics as much as they need until they get it.
What are the benefits of online tutoring?
One-to-one tutoring lets kids unleash their potential. Worried about learning gaps? We'll fill them in. No tutors in your area? We've got you covered. No academic confidence? No problem. Whatever your child needs help with, their tutor will guide them through tricky topics and boost their self-belief. With the personalised one-to-one support from their tutor, your child can get the grades they deserve.
How much does a tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, starting from £22/hour at GCSE level. Most of our tutors charge between £22 and £30 an hour. You can see all the tutors who match your budget with the handy price filter on our Find a tutor page.
How to find a tutor?
Finding a tutor is easy. Whatever you need, you can search and filter by subject, level, price, experience and more.
- View our tutors, and narrow your search by subject, academic level or price. Or if you'd like expert help, book a call with our free tutor matching service.
- Compare their profiles to learn about their background, experience and availability. Don't forget to take a peek at their reviews from parents and students!
- Message a tutor (or two, or three) and book your free meeting at a time that suits you.
- Book a lesson and pay as you go. There are no hidden costs and you can skip or cancel any time.
How do online lessons work?
We have our own online lesson space with video chat, messaging and an interactive whiteboard - this makes it easy for students and tutors to talk to each other, discuss tricky concepts and do practice questions together. With the live video chat, they can have a natural back-and-forth conversation - just like on FaceTime, Whatsapp and other apps teens use all the time.
Need to find a Scottish Highers English tutor?
How much does an English Scottish Highers tutor cost? High quality English Scottish Highers tutoring should be open to everyone who needs it. That’s why our prices start from only £22/hr with no extra fees. Need flexible tutorials, or occasional check-ins with your tutor? There’s no minimum contract, so you can book the right amount of tutoring for your teen’s needs. Does an English Scottish Highers tutor really help? One-to-one tuition can have a lasting impact on your teen’s confidence as well as their grades. We believe our students’ academic self-esteem is just as important as the scores they leave with, because when a student believes in themselves, the world's their oyster. There might be a few areas where your child could do with some help. Our tutors can help to: 1. Be a mentor - a big benefit of one-to-one tutoring is having a relatable role model who understands what you're going through. Because our tutors are at UK universities, they sat their own school exams in the last few years and easily relate to what teens are going through. They explain things in a way teens understand, and teens love learning from a cool older role model. 2. Boost course knowledge - revisit topics and fill in any gaps. 3. Track progress - record how your teen is progressing in tutorials and feedback to them/ yourselves. This will help your teen to map out the road ahead and understand how they’re going to reach their goals. 4. Prepare for exams - our tutors have aced their exams and they know exactly how they did it. Sharing this experience will give your teen extra skills; creating a targeted revision plan, understanding how to approach questions to achieve top marks and helping them to improve their time management skills. How to find the right English Scottish Highers tutor? Finding the right English Scottish Highers tutor can feel like a lifted weight. We're here to offer our advice on how to understand your tutoring needs and find exactly what you're looking for. Here are our top 3 areas to think about in your tutor search, with a few questions you can ask tutors during interviews: - Personality match - will they make tutorials fun and interesting? Do they seem to get on well with your teen? - Academic fit - can they offer what you’re looking for, in terms of Human Biology knowledge and experience? Can they help your teen develop any specific skills they’re looking for, such as exam technique? - Schedule - can they be flexible and fit around your teen’s weekly calendar? Can they give English Scottish Highers tutorials as often as you need them? Interested in finding a tutor?
