Bringing Writing to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

English Language and Literature Writing English
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving. I am aware of issues affecting some learners which can and have over ridden their choice and chance of participating in education. My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

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!

Absolutely. Many of our online writing tutors specialise in helping students refine their academic writing for higher education.

This might involve deep dives into specific curriculum topics, advanced essay writing techniques, or developing the nuanced analytical skills required for top grades, giving your child the edge they need.
Is online tutoring only for academic writing, or can it help with other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like GCSE and A-Level English, our tutors offer a wide range of skills. Your child could find support for creative writing, journalism, professional communication, or even English as a foreign language. If your child is looking to develop a specific writing skill or pursue a hobby, we likely have a tutor who can help.
