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 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!

asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the best online writing tutor for my child in Portsmouth?
We make it easy to find the perfect match! You can browse our tutors' profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even message them directly to discuss your child's specific writing needs before booking. Our platform lets you search by experience, specialisms, and rates.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find options to suit every budget. Tutors set their own hourly rates, and you can see these clearly on their profiles before you book. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
Can an online writing tutor help my child with their GCSE English for local Portsmouth colleges?
Absolutely! Our online writing tutors are highly experienced in supporting students for GCSE English, focusing on developing the structured and analytical writing skills needed for top grades. They can help your child excel, whether they're aiming for Portsmouth College, Havant & South Downs College, or any other local sixth form.
Will a writing tutor help my child prepare a strong personal statement for the University of Portsmouth or Russell Group universities?
Yes, many of our expert writing tutors specialise in helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can guide your child through the process, ensuring their statement effectively highlights their strengths, experiences, and ambitions for competitive courses at the University of Portsmouth or other prestigious institutions.
How does online writing tutoring work?
Online lessons take place in our interactive virtual classroom. Your child and their tutor will connect via video, use a shared whiteboard for notes and examples, and even share documents and resources. It's just like a face-to-face lesson, but with the added convenience of learning from home in Portsmouth.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first tutor?
Your child's comfort and learning are our top priority. 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. We want to ensure you find the perfect match.
Are your online writing tutors qualified and background-checked?
Yes, absolutely. We pride ourselves on selecting only the best tutors – we accept only 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are thoroughly background-checked, and we verify their qualifications and experience so you can feel completely reassured about who is teaching your child.
How quickly can my child start online writing lessons?
You can often find a tutor and book your first lesson within a day or two! Many of our tutors have flexible availability, meaning your child can start receiving tailored writing support almost immediately, fitting around your family's schedule in Portsmouth.

With consistent one-to-one support, you can expect to see significant progress. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, many improve by up to 2 grades. Tutors focus on building core skills, confidence, and exam technique, leading to tangible results.
Is online tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like Writing, Maths, and Sciences, Tutorful also offers a wide range of tutors for other skills! Your child could learn a new language, coding, an instrument like the guitar, or even develop skills for personal development. Just search for what your child is interested in!
Can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the boost in confidence. A dedicated tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and celebrate small victories, which can transform their attitude towards writing and learning in general.
Are your online writing tutors qualified and background-checked?
Absolutely. Our tutors have diverse specialisms.
