Roxy C
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 H
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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an online writing tutor help my child prepare for competitive school entries in Cambridge?
Absolutely. Many parents in Cambridge seek support for their child's applications to prestigious schools like The Perse or highly competitive sixth forms such as Hills Road. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced writing skills, critical analysis, and persuasive essay techniques needed to stand out in these demanding environments.
Can a writing tutor support my child's application to the University of Cambridge?
Yes, a specialist writing tutor can be incredibly valuable for university applications, especially for a highly competitive institution like the University of Cambridge. They can provide guidance on crafting compelling personal statements, refining academic essays, and developing the sophisticated writing style expected at that level, helping your child articulate their ambitions and academic strengths effectively.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other writing skills like creative writing or journalism?
Tutorful offers a wide range of subjects beyond traditional academic studies. While many parents use us for GCSEs, A-Levels, or degree support, your child can absolutely find tutors for skills like creative writing, scriptwriting, journalism, or even business writing, helping them explore passions and develop practical abilities.
What if my child doesn't get along with their writing tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely happy. 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.
How do I choose the best online writing tutor for my child in Cambridge?
You can browse our extensive list of online writing tutors, filtering by subject, experience, and even specific areas of writing expertise. Each tutor has a detailed profile outlining their qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. We recommend reading these carefully and perhaps even messaging a few tutors directly to find the perfect fit for your child's needs.
How much does online writing tutoring typically cost?
The cost of online writing tutoring can vary depending on the tutor's experience, qualifications, and the specific subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an expert tutor that fits within your budget.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
A one-to-one writing tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to experiment, make mistakes, and grow without the pressure of a classroom. By offering personalised feedback, celebrating small victories, and focusing on specific areas for improvement, tutors help your child develop a stronger belief in their own writing abilities, turning anxiety into assurance.
What kind of writing skills can my child improve with a tutor?
A writing tutor can help your child with a wide array of skills. This includes structuring essays effectively, developing clear and persuasive arguments, refining grammar and punctuation, improving vocabulary, mastering critical analysis of texts, and even learning how to plan and revise their work more efficiently.
How long does it usually take to see improvement in my child's writing?
While every child is different, many parents notice a positive change in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistent, tailored support often leads to more significant improvements in grades and overall writing ability over a few months, as reflected by 90% of our students improving by at least one grade.
Are the online writing tutors background-checked?
Yes, absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all tutors on Tutorful undergo a thorough background check as part of our rigorous vetting process, ensuring they are safe and qualified to teach.
How do online writing lessons work?
Online lessons take place in our interactive virtual classroom. It's equipped with a whiteboard, text editor, and video chat, allowing your child and their tutor to work together seamlessly, share documents, and discuss concepts just as they would in person. All your child needs is a computer, tablet, or phone and an internet connection.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the UK curriculum and can provide targeted support for specific GCSE or A-Level exam board requirements. They can help your child understand mark schemes, practice essay questions, and refine their responses to maximise their grades. Many of our students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades with tailored support.
