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.

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Merchant Taylors' or St Helen's. Can a tutor help with the specific writing requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation. They can help your child develop the sophisticated writing style and structural skills needed for the competitive 11+ and independent school exams common in the Northwood area. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Northwood schools?
Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum, including GCSE and A-Level specifications used by schools across the country. While they are online, they can tailor sessions to the specific topics and exam boards your child is studying, ensuring the support is always relevant and effective.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence in writing is very low. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor creates a safe, encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace without fear of getting it wrong. By breaking down difficult concepts and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, which is often the biggest barrier to progress.
How do I choose the right writing tutor for my child?
You can start by using our search filters to find tutors with experience in the right area, like GCSE English or 11+ preparation. Read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's needs to ensure they're a great fit.
How much do online writing tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and highly-qualified professional.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of pursuits! While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, you can also find expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, allowing your child and their tutor to work together in real-time. It's just like being in the same room, but with the convenience of learning from home.
Can you guarantee my child's grades will improve?
While every child learns differently, our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Our focus is on providing the dedicated support and tailored teaching that creates the best possible environment for your child to succeed.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, this is completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. Our tutors have their own cancellation policies, which are clearly stated on their profiles. Most offer flexibility if you provide enough notice, typically 12 or 24 hours.
