Maria Sigrid R
Engaging Writing tutor
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...

Lina H
Professional and inspiring Writing and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

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 a writing tutor help my child prepare for 11+ entrance exams in Marylebone?
Absolutely. Many parents in Marylebone seek support for the demanding 11+ entrance exams for schools like Queen's College or Francis Holland. Our online writing tutors specialise in helping children develop the creative flair and persuasive essay writing techniques needed to stand out and craft compelling responses, building their confidence for exam day.
Will a writing tutor help my child with university personal statements for competitive London universities?
Yes, that's a key area where our tutors can make a real difference. Strong personal statements are crucial for applications to universities like UCL or King's College London. A writing tutor can guide your child through structuring their thoughts, refining their voice, and showcasing their unique strengths in a compelling way, helping them articulate their ambitions clearly and effectively.
Is writing tutoring only for school exams, or can it help with other skills?
While we excel at supporting academic goals like 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, writing tutoring can also enhance a wide range of life skills. Whether your child needs help with creative storytelling, essay structure, professional communication, or even crafting engaging blog posts, our tutors can adapt their approach to suit their unique interests and personal development goals.
What if my child doesn't get on 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 find the right online writing tutor for my child?
We make it simple! You can browse our expert tutors' profiles, read about their experience, and see their reviews from other parents. We encourage you to message a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs and goals. This helps you find someone who truly understands what your child needs to succeed.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find options to fit different budgets. Most tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can discuss your child's needs without any commitment. You'll always see the tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and receive positive feedback without judgment. Our tutors focus on celebrating small victories, breaking down complex writing tasks into manageable steps, and encouraging your child to express their ideas freely, which naturally boosts their self-belief and enthusiasm for writing.
What happens during an online writing lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. Your child and their tutor can share documents, use a virtual whiteboard, and communicate via video and audio, making it just like an in-person session. The tutor will tailor each session to your child's specific writing goals, whether it's brainstorming creative ideas, structuring an essay, or polishing their grammar.
Are your online writing tutors qualified and background-checked?
Yes, absolutely. We pride ourselves on selecting the best tutors. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and every tutor undergoes a thorough background check, including DBS checks. You can also see their qualifications and read reviews from other parents on their profile, giving you complete peace of mind.
How quickly can I expect to see improvements in my child's writing?
While every child learns at their own pace, consistent one-to-one support often leads to noticeable progress. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our tutors focus on building foundational skills and confidence, which can lead to significant improvements in your child's writing abilities over time.
