Tony provides one-to-one English tuition online. One parent described his tuition as encouraging and engaging after her son moved from a C to an A in National 5 English. Online tuition means Glasgow students can work with the right tutor even when that tutor doesn’t live close enough to travel to them.

These are real Educamus Tuition tutors.

We don’t simply give families a list of profiles and ask them to choose.

We first find out what the student is studying, what is going wrong and what sort of tutor we think will suit them.

What do parents say about Educamus Tuition?

Parents and students have left hundreds of reviews about their experience with Educamus Tuition.

We are delighted that the support and encouragement from Holly has turned a C into an A.

What does your child actually need help with?

English covers a lot.

Most students don’t need equal help with every part of the subject.

Normally there is something more specific causing the problem.

RUAE

Reading for Understanding, Analysis and Evaluation is a common problem area at National 5 and Higher.

A student might understand the passage perfectly well but still struggle to turn that understanding into the type of answer that earns the marks.

An English tutor can work through different question types, look at where marks are being dropped and practise using past papers.

The aim is to make the process feel more familiar before prelims and exams.

Critical essays

Knowing a text isn’t enough.

Students also need to answer the exact question, choose useful evidence and explain their points properly.

A tutor can work through real essays with the student and show them where the marks are being gained and lost.

That might mean improving:

  • planning
  • introductions
  • paragraph structure
  • use of quotations
  • analysis
  • staying focused on the question
  • conclusions
  • timing

The aim isn’t to give the student an essay to learn.

It’s to make them better at writing their own.

Scottish set texts

Schools across Glasgow study different texts.

Tell us which text the student is studying when you contact us.

We can take that into account when choosing their tutor.

Tuition can cover understanding the text, themes, quotations, analysis and preparing for the type of questions the student will face.

Writing and folio support

A tutor can help a student improve their own writing through planning, structure, feedback and redrafting.

The work still needs to be the student’s.

The purpose of tuition is to make them a better writer, not to write the piece for them.

Prelims and exam preparation

As exams get closer, tuition can shift towards:

  • past papers
  • timing
  • answering the question properly
  • areas where marks are repeatedly being dropped
  • exam technique
  • revision priorities

Because tuition is one-to-one, the tutor can concentrate on the things that are most likely to make a difference for that student.

National 5 English Tutor Glasgow

National 5 English is one of the main areas Educamus Tuition supports in Glasgow.

One of the biggest advantages of one-to-one tuition is that lessons don’t need to follow a standard programme.

If a student is doing well in their writing but struggling badly with RUAE, the tutor can spend more time on RUAE.

If they understand the texts but keep writing weak essays, lessons can concentrate on essay technique.

Students can receive one-to-one help with:

  • RUAE
  • Critical reading
  • Scottish set texts
  • Critical essays
  • Writing
  • Prelim preparation
  • Past papers
  • Exam technique

For more general information about National 5 tuition across all subjects, see the Educamus Tuition National 5 guide.

Higher English Tutor Glasgow

Higher English asks more from students than National 5.

The reading becomes harder, analysis needs to go further and written answers need to be more controlled.

A student who did well at National 5 can still find the jump difficult.

A tutor can also look at work the student has already completed and identify where marks are being lost.

Higher English tuition can include:

  • RUAE
  • Critical reading
  • Scottish set texts
  • Critical essays
  • Writing
  • Coursework
  • Past papers
  • Prelim preparation
  • Exam technique

Advanced Higher English Tutor Glasgow

Advanced Higher English tuition is also available.

At this level we normally recommend online tuition because finding somebody with the right subject knowledge is more important than choosing whoever happens to live nearby.

That gives Glasgow students access to English tutors from across the wider Educamus Tuition network.

Primary English tuition in Glasgow

English tuition isn’t only for exams.

Educamus Tuition also works with Primary pupils who need individual support with areas such as:

  • reading
  • comprehension
  • spelling
  • punctuation
  • writing
  • confidence

Sometimes there are gaps that need filling.

Sometimes the child understands the work but needs more time.

And sometimes having one person concentrate entirely on them for an hour makes things much easier.

Home tuition may be available depending on your area and the tutors nearby.

Home English tutor Glasgow or online tuition?

Both can work well.

The better option depends on the student.

Home English tuition

A tutor comes to your home for a live one-to-one session.

Some students prefer having somebody physically sitting beside them.

Parents of younger students can prefer it too.

The downside is that the choice of tutors is naturally limited by who can realistically travel to your area.

Online English tuition

Online tuition gives us a much bigger pool of tutors.

That’s particularly useful for Higher, Advanced Higher or if the student needs somebody with experience in a particular part of English.

It is still a live lesson with one tutor and one student.

The same tutor normally works with them every week.

How much does an English tutor cost in Glasgow?

Our standard tuition prices include VAT.

Online English tuition

£45

per hour

Live one-to-one English tuition online.

We’ll also talk about availability and whether home or online tuition makes more sense.

We choose the tutor

We choose somebody based on the student’s level, what they need help with, tutor experience and who we think they will work well with.
