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!!

Definitely. Many of our Essay Writing tutors are highly experienced in helping students craft compelling personal statements that stand out. They can help your child structure their ideas and showcase their strengths for their university application.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find the perfect fit.
How much do Essay Writing tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually 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 simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in their writing?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors break down difficult concepts into manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way to build your child's self-belief.
