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!

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 with specific school needs in Hastings?
Absolutely. Our online writing tutors can tailor their approach to support your child with the curriculum and expectations of schools like Ark Alexandra Academy, East Sussex College, and other local institutions. They can focus on essay structures, report writing, exam techniques, and anything else your child needs to succeed locally.
How can a writing tutor support my child's ambition for university in places like Sussex or Brighton?
A writing tutor can be invaluable. They can help your child hone the advanced essay writing skills needed for competitive A-Levels, improve their ability to articulate complex ideas, and even assist with crafting compelling personal statements for university applications to institutions like Sussex, Brighton, or elsewhere.
Is writing tutoring only for school exams, or can it help with general communication skills too?
It's for both! While many parents seek help for academic writing – like GCSE English essays – our tutors can also support your child in developing broader communication skills. This includes creative writing, structuring arguments for debates, improving clarity in reports, or even just building overall confidence in expressing ideas, which is vital for any future path.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first writing tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. 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. Your child's comfort and progress are our priority.

How can a writing tutor help my child improve their confidence?
Personalised one-to-one attention helps children feel heard and understood. Tutors celebrate small victories, provide constructive feedback, and create a supportive environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes and learn from them. This focused encouragement naturally builds confidence in their writing ability.
What kind of writing skills can a tutor help my child with?
Our tutors can help with a wide range of writing skills, including essay planning and structure, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary expansion, creative writing, analysing texts, persuasive writing, report writing, and preparing for specific exams like GCSE English Language and Literature.
