Janette W
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😃
Thanks

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 is aiming for Cardiff Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them develop the advanced essay skills needed?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists with experience helping students reach the high standards required for entry into top-performing schools and colleges. They can focus on developing the sophisticated analytical and argumentative skills needed to write essays that truly stand out.
How can a tutor help with the Welsh Baccalaureate and applications to universities like Cardiff University?
A tutor can provide invaluable support. For the Welsh Baccalaureate, they can help your child structure their Individual Project and refine their writing to meet the assessment criteria. For university applications, they can guide your child in crafting a powerful and persuasive personal statement that showcases their strengths and ambitions.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in specific areas, like WJEC exam preparation or university applications. You can also read detailed profiles, check ratings from other parents, and even message tutors before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child.
How much do Essay Writing tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.
My child has lost confidence in their writing. Can a tutor really help?
Yes, building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. A great tutor celebrates small wins and provides positive reinforcement, which can completely transform how your child feels about their abilities.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas, you can also find tutors for hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar or a new language to coding and public speaking.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed to get results. Because lessons are tailored to your child's specific needs, they can make progress much faster than in a group setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our tutors offer a flexible cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
