David J
Experienced Writing Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Kathy F
Creative Writing tutor
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. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. 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). I would help...

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!

Can an online writing tutor help my child with applications to Sheffield's top sixth forms?
Absolutely. Our expert writing tutors can help your child hone their persuasive and analytical writing skills, crucial for demanding entrance exams and personal statements for highly-regarded sixth forms in Sheffield like Silverdale, Tapton, and High Storrs. They'll help your child stand out and secure those vital places.
How can a writing tutor support my child's ambition to attend the University of Sheffield?
A strong writing foundation is key for university success. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical thinking and sophisticated essay writing skills needed for A-Levels and beyond. This preparation is invaluable for crafting compelling UCAS statements and excelling in degree-level studies, putting them in a great position for Russell Group universities like the University of Sheffield.
Is writing tutoring just for school subjects, or can it help with other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like GCSE English, our tutors can also help your child with a wide range of writing skills. This could include creative writing, crafting compelling university applications, developing strong business writing, or even improving communication for personal development and hobbies.
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 choose the best online writing tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and even message tutors directly to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session. This helps you pick someone who truly connects with your child.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices can vary based on experience and specialisation, but we ensure transparency so you can find a quality tutor that fits your budget.

Can a writing tutor help my child prepare for specific exams like GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our writing tutors specialise in exam preparation, including GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child master exam techniques, understand essay structures, manage their time effectively, and work through past papers to ensure they feel fully prepared and confident.
How quickly can my child start lessons with a writing tutor?
You can typically find and book a tutor within a few days, often even sooner! Our platform makes it simple to check tutor availability and schedule lessons at times that suit your family's busy life in Sheffield.
