I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment.

That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Errol K
Errol supported me with my nursing dissertation.
I am a student who achieved good grades throughout my course, but unfortunately, in my 3rd year. This slipped because I didn't understand how to analyse my writing critically. Errol used kindness and his analytical mind to support me. Errol supported my development, helped me become a more critical practitioner, and improved my writing structure. Errol was very flexible, kind and patient, and I will be internally grateful. If you're thinking about booking with Errol, I would 100% recommend him to anyone

Dr Eddison L
I cannot thank Edd enough for the support he gave me throughout my dissertation. His feedback was consistently clear, detailed, and incredibly constructive, helping me to strengthen both my academic writing and overall structure. Edd took the time to explain areas for improvement in a way that was encouraging and easy to understand, which really boosted my confidence. His guidance made a huge difference to the quality of my work, and I genuinely feel I could not have achieved the same outcome without his help. I would highly recommend Edd to anyone needing academic support — his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication are outstanding. Best regards Neliy

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Durham University. Can I find a tutor who understands the standards required there?
Absolutely. Many of our dissertation tutors are postgraduates or academics themselves, some with experience of Russell Group universities like Durham. You can view each tutor's profile to see their qualifications and experience, helping you find someone who understands the level of academic rigour your child is aiming for.
Do the tutors have to be based in Durham?
Not at all. Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the best dissertation specialist from anywhere in the UK. This gives you a much wider choice of experts, so you can find the perfect match for their specific subject and research area, rather than being limited to whoever is local.
How do I find the right dissertation tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by subject specialism and experience. We recommend reading their profiles, checking their qualifications, and looking at reviews from other parents and students. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's project and ensure they're a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Will a tutor write parts of the dissertation for my child?
No, and this is very important. Our tutors provide guidance, support, and feedback to help your child develop their own ideas and improve their own work. They act as an academic mentor to help with structure, research methods, and critical thinking, but all the work will be your child's own.
Can a tutor help if my child is feeling overwhelmed by their dissertation?
Definitely. A huge part of a tutor's role is to act as a mentor. They can help break the project down into manageable steps, set realistic goals, and provide the encouragement your child needs to overcome anxiety and feel confident in their own abilities.
How much does a dissertation tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and subject area. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you only pay for the sessions you book.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas, and a document sharing feature for reviewing drafts. It's a secure and simple way to connect with their tutor from the comfort of their own space.
Are the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a background check and identity verification. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a session?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Some students have regular weekly sessions to stay on track, while others book lessons as and when they need help with a specific chapter or problem. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic tutoring?
While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. So, if your child wants to learn a musical instrument, master a coding language like Python, or even pick up a new hobby, we can help with that too.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews. We've helped over 200,000 students find the support they need, and we're committed to providing a safe, reliable, and effective service for every family.
