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 Tutorful writing tutor help my child with applications to local schools like Brighton College or sixth forms like BHASVIC?
Absolutely. Many of our writing tutors have experience helping students develop the sophisticated writing skills needed for competitive entrance exams and applications to top institutions. They can focus on refining analytical essays, improving critical thinking, and ensuring your child's written work truly stands out, giving them the best chance for places at schools like Brighton College or sixth forms such as BHASVIC.
Could a writing tutor help my child prepare for university applications, especially to places like the University of Sussex?
Yes, a writing tutor can be incredibly valuable for university applications. They can help your child craft compelling personal statements, refine their academic writing, and develop the distinctive voice that makes their application memorable. This support is particularly useful for competitive courses at universities, including the University of Sussex, ensuring your child presents their best self.
Is writing tutoring only for academic essays, or can my child explore other types of writing?
Our tutors can support a wide range of writing skills! While many help with academic essays for school and university, your child can also explore creative writing, develop their storytelling, improve their technical writing for specific projects, or even work on crafting impactful personal statements for college or university applications. It's all about what your child needs to achieve.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first writing tutor?
We want to ensure your child finds the perfect match. 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 do I choose the right online writing tutor for my child?
We make it easy! You can browse tutor profiles, read about their experience, specialisms, and teaching style, and see reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free introductory chat, so you and your child can meet them online and discuss your goals before committing to lessons. We're here to help you find that perfect fit.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and specialism, but you'll find a wide range of options to suit your budget. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile. We believe in transparency so you know exactly what to expect.
How can an online writing tutor help my child build confidence?
A great tutor acts as a patient mentor, creating a safe space where your child can ask questions and make mistakes without judgment.

All sessions are recorded too, so your child can revisit them anytime for revision.
Can online writing tutoring really make a difference to my child's grades?
Yes, it absolutely can. Many parents see a real difference when their child receives one-to-one support.

This focused attention is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and over 200,000 happy students have used Tutorful.
My child struggles with structuring their essays; can a tutor help with this?
Essay structure is a common area where children need extra support, and it's a key focus for our writing tutors.
