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
My child goes to Manshead CE Academy. Can a tutor help with the specific jump in writing skills needed for secondary school?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students through the transition from primary to secondary school. They can focus on key skills like essay structure, critical analysis, and developing arguments, which are vital for success across all subjects at GCSE level.
We're hoping our child will eventually apply to the University of Bedfordshire. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our Writing tutors have experience 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 ambitions clearly, which is a crucial part of the university application process.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. That's why we have our 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.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Writing?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
How do I choose the right Writing tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also have introductory videos to give you a feel for their personality. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure they're the perfect match.
How much does a Writing tutor in Dunstable cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
My child's confidence in writing is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them see their own progress and feel much more positive about their abilities.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing diagrams and working through problems together, and a document sharing feature. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you might want more frequent lessons leading up to an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can trust your child is in good hands.
What does my child need to prepare for their first lesson?
It's helpful if your child can bring any specific homework, past papers, or topics they're struggling with. This gives the tutor a clear idea of where to start. The main thing is for them to be ready to learn in a relaxed environment. The tutor will guide the rest.
My child's confidence in writing is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. The personalised attention of a one-to-one tutor helps address specific gaps in your child's understanding that might be missed in a busy classroom. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
