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 attends school in Dumfries. Can a tutor really help them compete with students from the central belt?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students build the deep analytical and writing skills needed to excel. They can provide targeted support to ensure your child's essays are just as strong, if not stronger, than their peers', giving them the confidence to aim for top grades and universities.
We’re aiming for a competitive university like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Yes. Many of our Essay Writing tutors are graduates from top universities and have first-hand experience with the application process. They can help your child hone the critical writing skills that admissions tutors look for, ensuring their personal statement and written work make a real impact.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our filters to search for tutors based on their experience, price, and availability. We recommend watching their introductory videos and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message a tutor for free before booking to make sure they're a great fit for your child.
How much does an Essay Writing tutor in Dumfries cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so there's a wide range to suit every budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can make an informed choice. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident about their essays?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down complex topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child build belief in their own abilities.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Most families find that a regular, one-hour weekly session works best for building momentum and making steady progress.
Are your tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and have undergone a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have fantastic tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and book your first session directly through our platform.
What results can I expect for my child?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child understand their subject more deeply and build lasting confidence. We have over 4,100 reviews from parents, with an average rating of 4.6/5 stars.
