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 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!

Brilliant Writing tutors who you’ll really click with.
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.
My child is aiming for Shrewsbury Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with the specific writing skills needed for competitive A-Levels?
Absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child develop the sophisticated essay-writing and analytical skills required for A-Level study. They can work on everything from structuring complex arguments to refining their academic tone, giving them the confidence to meet the high standards of top colleges.
With the high standards of schools like Shrewsbury School, how can a tutor ensure my child's writing meets that level?
Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades. They can work closely with your child to identify specific areas for improvement, focusing on the clarity, structure, and depth of analysis that top independent schools look for. This personalised approach helps close any gaps and builds the skills needed to excel.
How do I choose the right writing tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How much do online writing tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find experienced, high-quality support to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident in their writing?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can break down difficult concepts, give positive feedback, and celebrate small wins, which all helps to build your child's self-belief.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID confirmed and have undergone an Enhanced DBS check, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, as it provides consistency and keeps the momentum going. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Is this just for academic writing, or can you help with hobbies like creative writing?
We cover it all! While many students need help with essays and exam preparation, our tutors can also help your child explore creative writing, poetry, or even develop skills for a personal blog. We also offer support for personal statements, music, coding, and much more.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's writing?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one support of tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Strong writing is a huge advantage across the curriculum. It's vital for essays in subjects like History, Geography, and Religious Studies, but it's also important for explaining methods in Science or structuring reports in Business Studies. It’s a truly essential skill for all-round academic success.
