Roxy has been an absolutely wonderful tutor. She is warm, very engaging, and clearly highly competent. Our son genuinely loved his lessons with her and always looked forward to them, which says a lot. We could see his confidence grow, and his writing abilities improved noticeably over a short period of time. Roxy has a fantastic way of connecting with children while still challenging them and helping them make real progress. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any parent.

Matthew has been amazing with my son is building his confidence in his KS3 English & Creative Writing by skills. My son has ASD/PDA and is currently in home education, so I needed a patient and understanding tutor, who could also encourage my son and help him develop his existing writing skills / text. Feedback from my son is that Matthew is really knowledgable and is great at moving him beyond his comfort zone!

Ifa M
Life changing experience!
I would like to express my appreciation for Ifa’s exceptional teaching skills in helping my son learn English. Ifa brings a wonderful combination of fun, knowledge, and experience to every lesson, making the learning process both enjoyable and highly effective. She engages with my son attentively throughout the entire session, ensuring that he remains focused and motivated without even realising how much he’s learning.
What truly stands out is Ifa’s ability to explain complex concepts in a way that my son immediately grasps. No other teacher has been able to reach him as clearly as Ifa has, and I was genuinely impressed by how quickly he picked up many ideas he had previously struggled with.
Not only has my son made tremendous progress, but I’ve also learned from Ifa. She has shown me the best ways to support my son’s learning journey, tailored specifically to his individual needs. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the positive impact she’s had on both of us.
Thank you, Ifa!

Can a Writing tutor help my child with their UCAS personal statement for the University of Aberdeen?
Absolutely. Many of our expert Writing tutors specialise in helping students craft compelling UCAS personal statements. They can guide your child through structuring their ideas, refining their language, and highlighting their strengths to stand out when applying to institutions like the University of Aberdeen or other top Scottish universities.
Can I find a Writing tutor who understands the curriculum at Aberdeen schools like Cults Academy or Robert Gordon's College?
While our tutors aren't exclusively tied to specific schools, they are experts in the Scottish curriculum, including Highers and Advanced Highers. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms to find someone who deeply understands the requirements for essay-based subjects like English and History, ensuring your child receives relevant and targeted support for their specific school's demands.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
Tutorful offers a wide range of subjects beyond academic studies. While many parents seek help for 11+, GCSEs, A-Levels, or degrees, your child could also learn a new language, improve their public speaking, develop coding skills, or even pick up a musical instrument. It's all about supporting their personal development and hobbies too!
What if my child doesn't get on with their first Writing tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. That's why we offer a 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.

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and make mistakes without judgment.
