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!

How can an online writing tutor help my child with WJEC GCSEs and the Welsh Baccalaureate?
Our online writing tutors in Swansea are highly experienced with the WJEC curriculum. They can provide targeted support for specific modules, help your child master essay structures, improve their analytical skills, and guide them through the complexities of the Welsh Baccalaureate Individual Project, ensuring they feel fully prepared and confident.
Can a writing tutor help my child get into Gower College or Olchfa School?
Absolutely. Strong writing skills are essential for A-Level success. A dedicated writing tutor can help your child develop the advanced essay writing and critical thinking skills needed to excel in their GCSEs, which are crucial for gaining entry to top A-Level providers like Gower College or Olchfa School, setting them up for future academic success.
Will a tutor prepare my child for competitive university applications in Wales, like Swansea or Cardiff University?
Yes, building excellent writing skills early on is key for competitive university applications. A tutor can help your child hone their academic writing, critical analysis, and independent study skills, which are invaluable for higher education. These are the foundations needed to confidently pursue degree courses at universities such as Swansea University or Cardiff University.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first online writing tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. That's why we offer our 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.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for writing skills?
Online tutoring is incredibly effective for writing. Tutors can share screens to review documents, highlight text, and provide instant feedback on essays, projects, and creative writing. It's a dynamic and interactive way for your child to receive personalised guidance from the comfort of your home in Swansea, often making it more convenient and focused.
How do I choose the best online writing tutor for my child in Swansea?
You can browse our expert writing tutors, filtering by subject, level, and even specific experience (like WJEC). Each tutor has a detailed profile, including their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other parents. We encourage you to read these and even message tutors directly with any questions before booking a free consultation.
How much does online writing tutoring typically cost?
Tutor prices vary based 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. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
My child lacks confidence in their writing. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Building confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A supportive writing tutor will create a safe, encouraging space for your child to express themselves, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. This personalised attention helps them overcome anxieties and develop a positive attitude towards writing.
What kind of progress can I expect for my child's writing?
Many parents see significant progress. Our tailored approach means 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, a writing tutor can help improve your child's results by up to two grades. Beyond grades, you can expect to see improved clarity, structure, vocabulary, and overall confidence in their writing abilities.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other writing skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like English and the Welsh Baccalaureate, our tutors can help with a wide range of writing skills. This could include creative writing, essay composition for university personal statements, business writing, or even developing storytelling for hobbies. It's all about what your child wants to achieve.
Are your online writing tutors vetted and safe for my child?
Yes, absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. We pick the best, background-checked tutors from across the UK. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including DBS checks, to ensure they are qualified and safe to work with children.
How much does online writing tutoring typically cost?
Online lessons happen in our interactive virtual classroom. Your child and their tutor will connect via video link, using a shared whiteboard, text editor, and document sharing features.
