Find an Online Essay Writing Tutor in Basingstoke to Help Your Child Succeed
It's completely understandable to feel concerned when you know your child has the potential to do well, but their essays aren't quite hitting those top grades. In Basingstoke, with excellent sixth forms like Queen Mary's College on the horizon, the pressure to turn a good pass into a great result at GCSE can feel immense.
You might worry that while their writing is okay, it lacks the deeper analysis needed for grades 7-9. One-to-one Essay Writing tutoring provides a supportive space for your child to build that confidence, helping them structure their arguments and refine their writing, so they can truly show what they know.

Why Strong Essay Writing is Key to Your Child's Future
Being able to write a clear, persuasive essay is one of the most important skills your child can learn. It's not just about passing English or History; it's the foundation for success at A-Level and beyond. This skill helps them analyse complex information, form their own opinions, and express them clearly – whether they're dissecting a poem or writing a science report. Developing this ability now is crucial for securing a place at a competitive Russell Group university like Southampton or Surrey and opens up a huge range of future career options.

Janette is a very dedicated tutor she helped me with my essay writing and even went beyond by reviewing my essay outside of her tutoring hours. This shows her commitment and dedication to ensure her students succeed. Her teaching techniques and approach are very easy to understand. I passed my essay and Janette helped me with grammatical errors and guided me through all my mistakes. I will definitely be using Janette in the future as she is an extremely great teacher😃

Jen H
I would like to say a massive thank you to Jen, who has helped me through one of my toughest years at university. I had some obstacles thrown in my way but with the help of Jen and her dedication I was able to pass my final dissertation with flying colours. I honestly can’t thank Jen enough for taking the time to sit and work through my whole dissertation from top to bottom. She was able to plan her lessons around times that suited me, always showing up with new ideas and advice that helped me get to where I am today. Without Jen’s help I honestly believe I would still be in the same place I was over a year ago!! A thank you doesn’t even do the hard work Jen put in as justice!!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Queen Mary's College. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE grades needed?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between a pass and the top 7-9 grades required for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific critical analysis and structural skills your child needs to impress in their exams.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help prepare my child for a Russell Group university?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities like Southampton and Surrey themselves. They can help your child develop the advanced writing and analytical skills needed to thrive at A-Level and prepare a strong university application.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's specific needs, whether that's for GCSE English Literature, History, or general study skills.
How much do Essay Writing tutors in Basingstoke cost?
The cost of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We interview every tutor and only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How can tutoring help if my child is shy or lacks confidence?
One-to-one tutoring is a brilliant way to build confidence. The online classroom is a safe, private space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are chosen for their friendly, encouraging approach, helping even the quietest students find their voice.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. They might work through a practice essay together, learn how to structure a strong argument, or analyse complex texts on the interactive whiteboard. The focus is always on what your child needs most to make progress.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English and History?
Not at all! While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even music production.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week works best, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor. There's no minimum commitment.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to download.
Can tutoring help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the specific requirements of different exam boards. You can see their areas of expertise on their profiles and can message them to ask about their experience with your child's curriculum.
