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
We're aiming for a sixth form place at a competitive school like Tiffin or Hampton. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for entry into highly competitive schools. They can help your child hone the specific analytical and persuasive writing skills needed to stand out in their GCSE English and History exams, which are often critical for securing a sixth form place.
My child is worried their A-Level essays won't be strong enough for a Russell Group university application. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A tutor can provide invaluable support for A-Level students aiming for top universities. They can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and writing techniques needed to achieve higher grades and craft a compelling personal statement that showcases their academic abilities.
How do I choose the right essay writing tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas and marking work, and a messaging function. It feels just like being in the same room, but with all the convenience of learning from home.
How much does an essay writing tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit, 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 can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
The one-to-one environment provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. This personalised attention helps them understand topics fully, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I can', which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. You can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and vetted professional.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a regular weekly lesson to stay on top of their schoolwork, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam or coursework deadline. It’s completely flexible to fit your needs.
What kind of results can we expect?
While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, this can be up to two grades. Our goal is to help your child build both their skills and their self-belief.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for tutors, send messages to those who look like a good fit, and you could have your first lesson booked within a day. Many tutors reply within a few hours.
