Phil R
Bringing Essay Writing to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

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 is hoping to apply to the University of York. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Absolutely. Many of our Essay Writing tutors have extensive experience in helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can guide your child on how to structure their statement, showcase their strengths, and articulate their passion for their chosen subject, which is vital for competitive courses.
We live in York and my child attends a high-performing school. Are your tutors equipped to help them aim for top grades?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students with high academic ambitions. They can focus on the advanced skills needed for top grades, such as developing sophisticated critical analysis and nuanced arguments, helping your child meet the high expectations of schools in the York area.
How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE English Literature or A-Level History essays. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're a great fit.
What happens if we’re not happy with the first lesson?
We want you to feel completely confident in your choice of tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor on our platform to support their interests.
How much does an Essay Writing tutor in York cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their writing?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tasks, celebrating small wins, and providing constructive feedback, the tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
How long is a typical online tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
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 your child will need, including an interactive whiteboard, document sharing, and video chat, making lessons engaging and effective.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check and identity verification before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online lessons help with essay structure?
Our online classroom is perfect for this. Tutors can use the interactive whiteboard to map out essay plans with your child in real-time. They can also share and edit documents together, allowing the tutor to give instant feedback on paragraphing, topic sentences, and how to build a coherent argument from introduction to conclusion.
My child really struggles to start writing. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common challenge. A tutor can work with your child on brainstorming techniques, creating effective outlines, and writing strong opening sentences to overcome that initial writer's block. They can turn a daunting blank page into a manageable and structured task.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
