Raquel A
Supportive and Structured Writing Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments. It may seem as if I had forgotten the stress and pressure I found myself under in the previous school year,...
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!

Brilliant Writing tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends Frome College. Can a tutor help with their specific GCSE English curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced with the AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards used for GCSEs. They can tailor sessions to focus on the specific texts and essay styles your child is working on, helping them meet the marking criteria and build their confidence.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Bath or Bristol. Can a writing tutor help with a personal statement?
Definitely. A writing tutor can be a fantastic guide in helping your child structure their thoughts and articulate their ambitions clearly. They can provide expert feedback to ensure their personal statement is persuasive, polished, and stands out for all the right reasons.
How do I choose the right writing tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their writing?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult tasks and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and identity-checked, and they must have an up-to-date DBS certificate or equivalent background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does online writing tuition cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices typically start from £15 per hour.
Will this help with subjects other than English?
Yes. Strong writing is a skill that helps across the curriculum. The ability to structure an argument, provide evidence, and write clearly is just as important for getting top marks in History, Geography, and Religious Studies as it is in English.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no minimum commitment. Some families use us for a short-term boost to prepare for an exam, while others have weekly lessons throughout the school year. It's completely flexible and based on your child's goals.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands with academic subjects like English and Maths, our tutors also offer lessons in a huge range of skills, from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even public speaking.
Are your tutors background-checked?
You can start very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. Many of our tutors reply in just a few hours.
