Lina H
Professional and inspiring Writing and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

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!

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an online tutor really help my child prepare for competitive entrance exams like the 11+ or 13+ in Central London?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students for highly selective school entrance exams. They can help your child develop the advanced creative writing techniques, persuasive essay structures, and sophisticated vocabulary needed to impress admissions teams at schools like Westminster or City of London School, helping them stand out from the crowd.
How can an online writing tutor help my child with university applications to places like LSE, Imperial, or UCL?
Many of our tutors specialise in academic writing for higher education. They can guide your child in crafting compelling personal statements, refining essay writing skills for specific subjects, and developing the critical analytical skills required for competitive university applications. This focused support can be crucial for securing a place at top institutions like LSE, Imperial, or UCL.
Is writing tutoring only for school exams, or can my child develop other writing skills?
Our tutors offer support across a wide range of writing skills. Beyond academic subjects, your child can explore creative writing, learn to write captivating stories, develop engaging content for personal projects, or even improve their communication for hobbies and personal development. It's all about what your child wants to achieve.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first writing tutor?
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. We want your child to find the perfect match.
