I'm just not very good at it." People tend to not be very excited about topics that they don't understand. Teachers and grades have been making them feel bad whenever they come to class, and there is nothing more frustrating than studying for hours and still not getting any concept. These sorts of t...

Frequently Asked Questions

During your first session, a tutor will get to know your writing goals, current skill level, and the types of writing you're interested in—whether that's fiction, poetry, memoir, or screenwriting. They'll discuss any specific challenges you're facing, like developing characters, structuring a narrative, or overcoming writer's block. This conversation helps the tutor create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and interests.

One-on-one instruction allows a tutor to provide detailed, specific feedback on your work in real time—something that's difficult in a classroom setting with 23+ students per teacher. Rather than general comments, you'll get guidance on strengthening your voice, developing compelling characters, improving pacing, and refining your prose. This personalized attention accelerates growth because feedback is tailored to your unique writing style and goals.

Yes. Tutors work with you through brainstorming, drafting, revising, and polishing—not just editing final drafts. They can help you develop ideas, organize your thoughts, work through structural problems, and refine your language and style. Many students find that having a guide through each stage of the writing process builds confidence and makes the whole experience less overwhelming.

Writer's block is common, and tutors have strategies to help you move past it. They can use brainstorming techniques, prompts, freewriting exercises, and discussions about your ideas to get your creative energy flowing. A tutor also helps you understand what's causing the block—whether it's perfectionism, unclear direction, or fear of judgment—and addresses the root issue.

Your writing voice is what makes your work distinctly yours—your perspective, word choices, rhythm, and personality on the page. A tutor helps you recognize patterns in your writing, experiment with different styles, and build confidence in your authentic voice. Through reading analysis, writing exercises, and personalized feedback, you'll develop a stronger sense of who you are as a writer.

Tutors work with all forms of creative writing—fiction (short stories and novels), poetry, personal essays, memoir, screenwriting, graphic narratives, and more. Whether you're exploring a new genre or deepening your skills in one you love, a tutor can provide expert guidance specific to that form's conventions, techniques, and craft.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in creative writing—many hold degrees in English, creative writing, or related fields, and many have published work or professional writing experience. Each tutor is vetted for expertise and teaching ability, ensuring you work with someone who truly understands the craft and can guide your development.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and let us know your creative writing goals and preferred schedule. We'll match you with a tutor whose expertise and teaching style align with what you're looking for. From there, you can begin your first session and start developing your skills with personalized, expert guidance.
