I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment.

That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

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.
Can a writing tutor help my child prepare for college applications, like Carmel College in St Helens?
Absolutely. Our expert writing tutors can work with your child to develop the sophisticated essay-writing and analytical skills often required for competitive college applications. They'll help your child articulate complex ideas clearly and persuasively, giving them a strong advantage for institutions like Carmel College.
Will an online writing tutor help my child achieve the grades needed for competitive university courses?
Yes, strong writing skills are fundamental for success at university, especially for competitive degree courses in Liverpool and beyond. A Tutorful writing tutor can help your child master advanced academic writing, critical analysis, and research skills, ensuring they're well-prepared to achieve the grades needed for their chosen university path.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we specialise in academic subjects, Tutorful offers a wide range of tutors for various skills and interests. Your child could learn a new language, coding, an instrument like the guitar, or even develop skills for personal projects. Just search for the specific skill or subject you're interested in!
What if my child doesn't get on with their first writing tutor?
We want you to be completely happy. 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. It's part of our commitment to finding the right match for your child.
How do I pick the right online writing tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find a great fit. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents (we have 4.6 stars from over 4,100+ reviews!), watch introductory videos, and even send messages to tutors before booking. Many tutors also offer a free introductory chat so you can discuss your child's needs directly.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find a range of options to suit your budget. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, and there are no hidden fees or long-term contracts – you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
How can a writing tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgment. A dedicated writing tutor will patiently guide them, celebrate their progress, and help them overcome specific challenges, leading to a significant boost in their academic confidence and self-belief.
What happens during an online writing lesson?
Online lessons take place in our interactive virtual classroom, complete with a whiteboard, document sharing, and video chat. Your child and their tutor will work through exercises, review essays, analyse texts, and practice writing techniques together, all in real-time. It’s just like an in-person session, but with added flexibility.
How does Tutorful ensure the quality and safety of its tutors?
Your child's safety and learning experience are our top priorities. We have a rigorous vetting process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All tutors are background-checked, and we verify their qualifications and experience to ensure they are the best available to support your child's learning journey.
Can a writing tutor help with specific exams like GCSEs or A-Levels?
Absolutely. Our writing tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for key exams, including GCSEs and A-Levels. They can focus on exam technique, essay structure for specific subjects, and ensure your child is confident in articulating their knowledge under exam conditions. This tailored support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, many see an improvement of up to 2 grades.
What if my child needs help with more than just writing?
Many parents find tutors for multiple subjects or skills. Once you're on the platform, you can easily search for tutors in other areas like Maths, Science, or specific A-Level subjects. Your child might even work with different tutors for different areas of their learning.
