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!!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for the University of Cambridge. Can a tutor help with the specific essay requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with applications to top universities, including Cambridge. They can help your child understand what admissions tutors are looking for, from crafting a compelling personal statement to preparing for admissions tests or submitted essays that require deep critical analysis.
We're in Cambridge and the pressure from schools like Hills Road is immense. How can a tutor help my child's UCAS application stand out?
We completely understand. A tutor can provide that crucial one-to-one support to help your child refine their work. They can act as an expert sounding board, offering feedback on essay structure, argumentation, and clarity to ensure your child's application is as strong as it can possibly be, helping them stand out in a very competitive field.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience and qualifications. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find a great fit.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to upload documents like essay drafts. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to get face-to-face support without you having to travel.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor takes the time to break down complex ideas and gives your child a safe space to ask questions, they start to feel more capable. Celebrating small wins and seeing their own writing improve is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS check. We also interview every single tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online Essay Writing tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's writing?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. The key is consistent support tailored to their needs.
Can a tutor help with a specific part of an essay, like the introduction or conclusion?
Yes, absolutely. That's the great thing about one-to-one tuition. Your child can bring a specific problem to the lesson, whether it's crafting a strong thesis statement, improving their analytical skills, or structuring a conclusion. The sessions are completely flexible.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of hobbies and skills! From learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding in Python, you can find an expert tutor for almost anything.
What qualifications do your Essay Writing tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of expert backgrounds. Many have degrees in English, History, or related subjects from top UK universities. You can view each tutor's full qualifications, experience, and teaching approach on their profile to find the best fit for your child.
