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!

How can a writing tutor help my child with GCSEs for competitive sixth forms in East London?
Many parents in East London are looking for that extra edge for top sixth forms like Newham Collegiate and London Academy of Excellence. An online writing tutor can specifically focus on the analytical and persuasive writing skills crucial for achieving top GCSE grades in subjects like English and History. They'll work on essay structure, critical analysis of texts, and crafting compelling arguments, giving your child the confidence to excel and stand out in their applications.
Can a writing tutor really improve my child's chances of getting into a top university like Queen Mary?
Absolutely. Strong, sophisticated writing is fundamental for university applications, especially for competitive Russell Group institutions like Queen Mary. A dedicated writing tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and persuasive writing skills needed not just for top GCSE and A-Level grades, but also for crafting impactful personal statements and demonstrating critical thinking. This foundational skill can significantly boost their academic profile.
Is writing tutoring only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While this page focuses on writing, Tutorful offers a vast range of subjects beyond traditional academics! Your child could find a tutor for anything from learning a new language, mastering a musical instrument like guitar, developing coding skills in Python, or even pursuing a hobby like photography. We believe learning should be lifelong and cater to all interests and goals.
What if my child doesn't get along with their writing tutor?
We understand that finding the right match is key. That's why we offer our First Lesson Guarantee. If you or your child don't get on with your tutor after the first session, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. We want you to feel completely happy and confident in your choice.
How do I choose the best online writing tutor for my child?
You can browse through our tutors' profiles, where you'll find information about their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose approach resonates with your child's learning needs and personality. You can also send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking a first lesson.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications, typically ranging from £20 to £40+ per hour. Our transparent pricing means you'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. You only pay for the lessons your child takes, with no subscription fees or hidden costs, making it easy to budget for your child's learning.
How can an online writing tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one online tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling judged. Their tutor will celebrate small victories, offer constructive feedback, and patiently guide them through challenges. This personalised attention helps your child overcome anxieties, develop a stronger voice, and truly believe in their writing abilities, which often spills over into other areas of their life.
What happens in a typical online writing lesson?
In a typical online writing lesson, your child will connect with their tutor via our interactive online classroom. They might work on essay planning, analyse texts together, practice structuring arguments, or refine their grammar and vocabulary using a shared whiteboard, document editor, and chat. Each session is dynamic and tailored to your child's specific learning objectives and current school work.
Are your online writing tutors qualified and vetted?
Yes, absolutely. We pride ourselves on picking the best tutors from across the UK. Every tutor goes through a rigorous application process, including interviews and background checks, and we only accept around 1 in 8 applicants. This ensures your child is learning from a highly qualified, experienced, and safe educator who is passionate about helping them succeed.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's writing?
While every child learns at their own pace, many parents notice a positive difference in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. With consistent, tailored support, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we often see students improve by up to 2 grades, demonstrating significant progress in their writing skills over time.
Can an online tutor help my child with specific writing challenges, like essay structure or grammar?
Definitely. One of the greatest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the ability to pinpoint and address specific challenges. Whether your child struggles with essay structure, persuasive language, grammar, punctuation, or even just getting started with a blank page, their tutor can create targeted exercises and provide focused guidance to strengthen those exact areas, making a real difference.
How can an online writing tutor help my child build confidence?
It's really straightforward! Once you've found a tutor, your child will join them in our secure online classroom at the scheduled time. This classroom features a shared whiteboard for brainstorming, a document editor for collaborative writing, and video chat, making it a highly interactive and effective environment for learning writing skills, just like being in the same room.
