Marc M
Expert Writing tutor
Hi there!
My name is Marc and I am 35 years old. I live in Edinburgh and work in the publishing and intellectual property rights industry.
I completed my Higher English back in 2008 and have since studied and used the subject extensively, through school, university and the workplace, briefly working as a journalist several years ago.
I understand how much of a difference some extra time and help spent on a subject outside of a classroom can make, having used a private tutor while at school to make sure I got the Maths grades I needed.
Sometimes, a new concept or an idea is explained...
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 H
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!

Can an online writing tutor help my child prepare for high school entry exams in Northumberland?
Yes, absolutely. Our online writing tutors in Northumberland are experienced in helping students develop the articulate and sophisticated writing skills needed for key transition points, including entrance exams for sought-after high schools like The King Edward VI in Morpeth. They can focus on essay structure, persuasive writing, and clear expression to give your child a real advantage.
Will a writing tutor help my child get into specific universities like Durham or Newcastle?
Yes, many parents use Tutorful for this exact reason. Strong essay-writing skills are crucial for A-Levels and university applications. Our tutors can help your child craft compelling personal statements and develop the advanced academic writing skills required for prestigious regional universities like Durham and Newcastle, giving them the best possible chance to succeed.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
Not at all! While we excel in academic subjects like Writing, Maths, and Sciences, we also offer tutors for a huge range of skills. Your child could learn a new language, coding, graphic design, or even a musical instrument like guitar. We're here to support any learning journey your child wants to explore.
What if my child doesn't get along with their writing tutor?
We want you to feel completely confident. If you don't get on with your tutor after your first session, 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 writing tutor for my child?
We make it easy! You can browse profiles of our highly-rated online writing tutors, read reviews from other parents (we have 4.6 stars from over 4,100+ reviews!), and even watch intro videos. We encourage you to message a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a free consultation or your first lesson.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
The cost of online writing tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, typically ranging from £20-£40 per hour. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you're always in control of your budget.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
Our one-to-one approach is fantastic for building confidence. Tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without judgment, receive instant, constructive feedback, and celebrate small victories. This personalised attention helps them overcome anxieties and feel truly empowered in their writing.
What makes Tutorful's online writing lessons effective?
Our online lessons are highly effective because they're 100% tailored to your child. Tutors use interactive whiteboards, share documents, and provide real-time feedback, making learning engaging and dynamic. This focused support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and over 200,000 happy students have used Tutorful.

Absolutely. We're very selective. We pick the best, background-checked tutors from across the UK and only accept 1 in 8 applicants. Many are qualified teachers or university graduates with extensive experience, ensuring your child receives high-quality, expert guidance in writing.
How quickly will I see my child's writing improve?
While every child learns at their own pace, many parents see improvements in confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Consistent one-to-one support often leads to significant academic progress. For instance, our GCSE students often improve their results by up to 2 grades.
What subjects beyond general writing can a tutor help with?
Beyond general essay writing, our tutors can help with specific areas like creative writing, academic essay structure, grammar and punctuation, exam technique for English Language and Literature, personal statement drafting, and even specific projects or assignments your child might have.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
Yes, definitely! Many of our online writing tutors specialise in GCSE English Language. They can help your child master persuasive writing, analytical essays, text analysis, and exam strategies, aiming to improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades, giving them a strong foundation for A-Levels.
