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!!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top London university like LSE or UCL. Can a tutor help with the specific essay skills needed for their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students refine their writing for competitive university applications. They can help your child develop the sophisticated critical analysis and persuasive arguments that admissions tutors at institutions like LSE, UCL, and King's College London are looking for.
Competition for sixth form places in Central London is fierce. Can a tutor help my child's writing meet the standard for top schools?
Yes. Our tutors can work with your child to elevate their writing to the high standard expected by elite independent and top-performing state schools. They can focus on developing clarity, structure, and analytical depth to help your child's work stand out during the competitive application process.
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 read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their writing?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down complex ideas and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important, 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.
How much does an Essay Writing tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
All our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, at a time that suits you.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. All lessons are recorded, and our online classroom provides a secure and monitored environment for learning.
What qualifications do your tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including experienced teachers, examiners, and university academics. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can trust you're choosing from the best.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's essays?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The one-to-one focus allows tutors to address specific weaknesses quickly, so many parents see a boost in their child's confidence and skills within just a few sessions.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week is ideal for steady progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor based on your child's needs, whether that's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an important deadline.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects? My child is also interested in learning a musical instrument.
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like Essay Writing, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
