Why Strong Essay Writing is Key to Your Child's University Ambitions
Being able to write a clear, well-structured essay is one of the most important skills your child will learn. It’s not just about passing GCSE English; it’s fundamental to success in A-Level History, Sociology, and even sciences. This skill is exactly what top universities look for. A great tutor will help your child learn how to analyse quotes from a text like 'An Inspector Calls', build a convincing argument, and present their thoughts with confidence – preparing them for the demands of higher education and beyond.

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 hopes to get into Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE grades?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific essay-writing skills required for key GCSE subjects, helping to improve your child's results by up to 2 grades and strengthening their application.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Leicester. Can a tutor prepare my child for that level of essay writing?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are experienced in coaching students for university-level work. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed to write compelling essays for A-Levels, which provides a strong foundation for the demands of a degree at a top university.
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 use filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE English or A-Level History. We recommend reading their profiles, checking their qualifications, and looking at reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're a good fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is for learning. 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 much does an essay writing tutor in Leicester cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one online lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. This personalised attention helps them understand difficult topics at their own pace, and seeing their skills improve is a huge confidence booster.

How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you updated on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow and their grades improve. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed for an interactive lesson, including a whiteboard and document sharing.
