Raquel A
Supportive and Structured Writing Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments.

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.

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for Torquay Boys' or Torquay Girls' Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the 11+ creative writing paper?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have extensive experience with the creative writing sections of grammar school entrance exams. They can provide targeted practice on story structure, character development, and using descriptive language to help your child feel fully prepared.
Are the tutors familiar with the Devon school curriculum?
Yes, you can easily find tutors with experience teaching the curriculum used in schools across Devon. When you search, you can read through tutor profiles to see their specific experience, including familiarity with local exam boards and school entrance requirements.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have 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.
How do I pick the right Writing tutor for my child?
It’s really simple. You can filter tutors by subject and level, then read their profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style. Many tutors have introductory videos, which are a great way for you and your child to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask any specific questions.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident about their writing?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down tricky concepts, celebrate small wins, and provide constant encouragement, which helps build their self-esteem and belief in their own abilities.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online Writing tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other things?
While we help thousands of students with core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson once a week works perfectly. This provides consistency and allows your child to build on what they've learned without feeling overwhelmed. However, it's completely flexible and something you can agree on directly with your tutor.
Can tutoring help my child beyond just the 11+ exam?
Definitely. While a tutor can provide fantastic support for a specific exam, the skills they teach last a lifetime. They help your child develop better study habits, improve their organisation, and build a positive attitude towards learning that will help them through GCSEs, A-Levels, and beyond.
How much does online Writing tuition cost?
