Find An Expert Writing Tutor For Learners In Grantham

Q: My child finds the creative writing part of the 11+ exam really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?

Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. The tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering creative writing, from planning a story and developing characters to using powerful descriptive language. They'll give your child practical tools and feedback to help them shine.

Q: What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If it doesn't feel like the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Q: How do I choose the right Writing tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. Look for tutors with specific experience in 11+ preparation to find the best fit for your goals.

Q: Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.

Q: How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

Q: How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their writing?

Confidence comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see that they are capable of succeeding.

Q: How much does an online Writing tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Q: Can tutoring help with Verbal Reasoning as well as writing?

Yes. Many of the skills needed for the English paper, like a strong vocabulary and good comprehension, are also vital for Verbal Reasoning. You can find tutors who specialise in both and can create a lesson plan that covers all aspects of the 11+ exam.

Q: How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point, especially when preparing for an exam like the 11+. However, it's completely flexible and you can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's needs.

I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities.

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.

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!
