At the heart of tutoring is passion for one’s subject; I am keen to engage students through a wide range of materials and learning techniques. In my adolescence, I was exposed to the transformative power of teaching in small groups and realised which effective methods can be used to strengthen analytical and writing skills. Each session will centre on the individual’s needs and requests. I integrate audio and visual materials into my lessons, including PowerPoint presentations. I encourage students to keep lists of questions that guide them through their understanding of various topics. For cre...

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!

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.
How do I choose the best online writing tutor for my child?
You can browse our tutors' profiles, watch their introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them directly to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. We encourage you to find someone whose approach and experience resonate with your child's learning style.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find prices clearly displayed on each tutor's profile. You can filter tutors by price range to fit your budget, and there are no hidden fees or long-term contracts – you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
How can an online writing tutor help my child build confidence in their writing?
One-to-one online tutoring provides a safe and focused environment where your child can ask questions without hesitation and receive immediate, constructive feedback. This personalised attention helps them understand their strengths and areas for improvement, gradually building their confidence as they see their writing skills develop and improve.
Can an online writing tutor help my child with specific entrance exams for schools in Kilburn, like St Augustine's?
Absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support for the writing components of entrance exams, helping your child develop the specific skills and techniques needed to impress schools like St Augustine's. They'll work on everything from creative writing to essay structure, ensuring your child can articulate their thoughts clearly and effectively under pressure.
My child is aiming for competitive universities like UCL or King's College London. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, definitely. A strong personal statement is crucial for competitive university applications. An online writing tutor can guide your child through the entire process, helping them brainstorm ideas, structure their thoughts, refine their language, and polish their statement to truly stand out to admissions teams at universities like UCL or King's College London.
How can a writing tutor help my child excel within the competitive London school system?
The London school system can be demanding, and strong writing is a key differentiator. Our tutors help your child develop the advanced vocabulary, critical thinking, and structured argumentation needed for top grades in essay subjects. They'll build confidence and skills that are essential for not just academic success, but also for future opportunities.
Is writing tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While writing is fundamental for academic success, our tutors can also help your child develop other skills where clear communication is key, or even creative writing for hobbies. If your child is interested in creative writing, journalism skills, or even just improving their general communication, we have tutors who can help them explore and master a wide range of abilities.
What if my child doesn't get along with their online writing tutor?
We understand that finding the perfect match is important. 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.
What kind of writing support can my child get for GCSEs or A-Levels?
Our tutors can support your child across all aspects of GCSE and A-Level writing, from essay planning and structuring arguments to refining grammar, vocabulary, and analytical skills. They can help with specific texts, exam techniques, and ensuring your child meets the complex criteria for top grades.
Are the online writing tutors vetted and safe for my child?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on Tutorful undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including enhanced DBS checks (background checks) and a thorough interview process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the very best and most trustworthy educators.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed for effective learning. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to collaborate in real-time. All lessons are recorded, so your child can revisit them anytime for revision or to review challenging concepts.
Is writing tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
Yes, definitely. Many children struggle with the nuances of grammar and punctuation. A dedicated writing tutor can pinpoint your child's specific challenges and create targeted exercises and explanations to solidify their understanding. This focused attention can significantly improve accuracy and clarity in their writing.
