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 the University of Portsmouth. Can we find a tutor who understands their course requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced with the curriculum and standards of specific universities. You can view each tutor's profile to see their qualifications and experience, and even message them before booking to discuss your child's course and dissertation topic to ensure they're a perfect match.
My child is worried about competing for graduate jobs. Can a tutor help them produce a dissertation that stands out?
Yes, that's a key part of what they do. A great tutor can help your child elevate their work from good to great. They can challenge their arguments, help them develop a more sophisticated analysis, and guide them in producing a polished, professional piece of research that truly showcases their abilities to future employers.
How can a tutor help my child who feels overwhelmed and isolated by their dissertation?
This is a very common feeling, and a tutor can make a huge difference. They act as a sounding board and a mentor, breaking down the huge project into smaller, manageable steps. Having a regular check-in provides structure and accountability, which helps reduce anxiety and restores a sense of control.
How do I choose the right dissertation tutor for my child?
Start by using our search filters to find tutors with experience in your child's subject area. You can read their bios, check reviews from other parents and students, and message them directly to ask about their approach. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have 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.
Are the tutors qualified to help with university-level work?
Yes. Our tutors include postgraduate students, university lecturers, and industry professionals. You can see all their qualifications and experience clearly listed on their profiles, so you can feel confident you're choosing an expert in their field.
How much does private dissertation tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £35 and £60 per hour for specialist dissertation support. Tutors set their own rates, and all pricing is clearly shown on their profiles with no hidden costs.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to collaborate with their tutor, review drafts, and map out ideas in real-time.
How often should my child have a session for dissertation support?
This is completely flexible. Some students find a regular weekly or fortnightly session helpful to stay on track, while others prefer to book sessions as and when they need them, perhaps to work through a specific chapter or prepare for a meeting with their university supervisor.
Can a tutor help with a specific part of the dissertation, like the methodology or literature review?
Of course. Many students seek help with the trickiest parts of their project. Whether it's structuring a literature review, designing a research methodology, or analysing data, you can find a tutor with the specific expertise to help your child overcome any hurdle.
How are tutors vetted on Tutorful?
We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. All tutors must pass a video interview and have their ID and qualifications verified. We also carry out background checks. We're selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
