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.
Can an online writing tutor help my child prepare for the 11-Plus exams for grammar schools in Gloucester?
Absolutely. Our online writing tutors in Gloucester specialise in helping children develop the vocabulary, sentence construction, and essay skills needed for competitive exams like the 11-Plus for schools such as The Crypt School and Sir Thomas Rich's. They can focus specifically on the types of writing tasks your child will encounter.
How can a writing tutor support my child's ambition to attend a top university like Bristol or Bath?
Strong writing is crucial for university applications and essay-based degrees. A tutor can help your child hone their analytical and argumentative writing skills, essential for achieving top grades at A-Level and crafting compelling personal statements, preparing them for the rigour of competitive universities like Bristol or Bath.
Is writing tutoring just for school subjects, or can it help with other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like GCSE English or A-Level History, writing skills are universal! A tutor can help your child with creative writing, essay competitions, improving their communication for hobbies, or even developing professional writing for future career skills. It's all about clear expression.
What if my child doesn't get along with their writing tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. 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?
You can browse our tutors' profiles, read their reviews from other parents, and even watch introductory videos. Consider their experience with your child's age group or specific writing challenges, like 11-Plus preparation or essay writing. Our platform makes it easy to compare and find the perfect match.
How much does online writing tutoring typically cost?
The cost per hour varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you can choose a tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often grows with understanding and practice. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and celebrate small victories. This personalised attention helps them overcome anxieties about writing and feel more capable in their abilities.
What makes online writing lessons effective?
Online lessons offer the same personalised attention as in-person tutoring, but with added flexibility. Tutors can share screens, use interactive whiteboards for drafting and editing, and instantly share resources. It’s a dynamic and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
My child struggles with grammar and punctuation; can a tutor help with this?
Yes, definitely! Many children find grammar and punctuation challenging. A writing tutor can break down these rules into manageable steps, provide targeted exercises, and help your child apply them correctly in their own writing, making a big difference to their overall clarity.
How quickly can I expect to see improvements in my child's writing?
Every child is different, but consistent, tailored support usually leads to noticeable progress. Many parents report seeing improvements in their child's confidence and writing quality within a few weeks of regular sessions. Our data shows 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Are the tutors on Tutorful qualified and safe for my child?
Absolutely. We are incredibly selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks, qualification verification, and enhanced background checks (DBS checks in the UK) to ensure your child's safety and your peace of mind.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
Yes, a tutor can tailor sessions to any specific writing need. Whether your child needs help brainstorming ideas for a creative story, structuring an essay, developing stronger arguments, or refining their descriptive language, their tutor will provide targeted guidance and feedback.
