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

Can a writing tutor help my child specifically with grammar school entrance exams or applications in South East London?
Absolutely. For parents in Bexley, Bromley, and other competitive grammar school areas, strong analytical writing is vital. A Tutorful writing tutor can help your child master the sophisticated essay techniques and critical thinking skills required to excel in these demanding entrance exams and secure their place.
My child is aiming for a top sixth form like St Olave's or Alleyn's. Can a Tutorful writing tutor help them prepare?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for highly competitive environments. They can work with your child to develop the advanced analytical writing, critical evaluation, and structured argumentation needed to achieve the top grades for applications to prestigious sixth forms like St Olave's, Newstead Wood, or Alleyn's.
Is writing tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other writing skills?
Beyond school subjects like English or History, our tutors can support your child with a wide range of writing skills. This could be creative writing for personal enjoyment, crafting compelling personal statements for university, or even developing clear communication for future professional use. It's about building a lifelong skill.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first writing tutor?
We understand that finding the right match is important. 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 you and your child to feel completely happy and supported.
How do I pick the best online writing tutor for my child?
It's simple! You can browse profiles of our experienced writing tutors, filter by subject, level, and even specific areas of expertise. We encourage you to read their reviews, check their qualifications, and even message a few tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you're choosing from the best.
How much does online writing tutoring cost?
Tutors on Tutorful set their own hourly rates, so costs can vary depending on their experience and specialisation. You'll see the exact price clearly displayed on each tutor's profile – there are no hidden fees. You only pay for the lessons your child takes.

Confidence is key! One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and receive constructive feedback without judgment. Seeing their writing improve with personalised guidance is incredibly empowering, helping them to feel much more capable and prepared for assessments.
What subjects can a writing tutor help my child with?

How do online writing lessons work?
Online lessons happen in our easy-to-use virtual classroom. Your child and their tutor will see and hear each other via video, use a shared interactive whiteboard, and can share documents or even practice essay writing together in real-time. It's just like an in-person lesson, but from the comfort of your home.
How quickly will I see my child's writing improve?
While progress varies for every child, consistent, focused one-to-one support can lead to significant improvements. We're proud that 90% of students who learn with Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, this can be up to two grades. Many parents notice increased confidence and clarity in their child's writing within just a few sessions.
