Private Creative Writing Tutoring

Our interview process, stringent qualifications, and background screening ensure that only the best Creative Writing tutors work with Varsity Tutors. To assure a successful experience, you're paired with one of these qualified tutors by an expert director - and we stand behind that match with our money-back guarantee.

Receive personally tailored Creative Writing lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.

Many writers claim that putting a pen to paper is the easiest way for them to express themselves. Perhaps you are finding yourself in that same boat, wanting to scribble down your many complex thoughts and stories into writing, but you just are not sure how to get started. On the other hand, some students find that beginning a piece is easy, but that continuing the story is the real challenge. Whether you wish to refine your storytelling skills, identify how to best organize a creative piece, or simply gather feedback on how effectively your written ideas come across on paper, Varsity Tutors can help connect you with a one-on-one creative writing tutor who can help. Tutors work with students of all ages, all across the United States. They are brilliant creative writers who love to share their passion with others. Allow one of these talented instructors to work with you personally and help improve your creative writing abilities.

We recognize that students of varying experience levels may need creative writing tutoring, which is why a tutor will tailor the curriculum specifically to your needs. If you are a graduate student seeking a mentor who can assist you in perfecting that short story you are working on, we can help connect you with a tutor who specializes in doing just that. On the other end of the spectrum, you might be a younger student with a budding interest in creative writing who is struggling to get started; if so, we can help connect you with a tutor who focuses on teaching you the introductory aspects of the field. A tutor will be happy to help you learn how to tell a compelling story, or how to make an already strong story even better. From fiction and nonfiction to poetry and personal essays, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with an individualized creative writing tutor available across the nation to help you master your craft.

The Varsity Tutors educational directors can help you connect with a tutor based on individual learning needs. We evaluate factors such as learning style, personality, and strengths and weaknesses with the material when helping to connect you with a creative writing tutor. A private tutor is very beneficial because they can give you as much time as you need to master a concept.

Moreover, creative writing tutors have been vetted to ensure that he or she is an excellent teacher and communicator, as well as exceptionally talented when it comes to the skill set of creative writing. We make sure that you are working closely with an instructor who understands the most important elements of this subject, such as engaging a reader, avoiding clichés, incorporating imagery, and so on. Students who use a creative writing tutor can benefit from the advantage of working one-on-one with an expert who can give thorough, constructive feedback on any number of creative writing pieces, as well as bestow some crucial creative writing strategies.

While your creative writing teacher can give you some idea as to areas you can work on, they typically don't have time to help you work through them. A private tutor can help in this capacity because they can work with you through every step of the writing process to make sure that you are reaching your full potential as a writer.

Varsity Tutors' live learning platform allows you to meet your private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. This provides you with the flexibility to meet your tutor at a time and place that works best for you.

Reach your fullest potential in creative writing by working with a skilled and experienced writing tutor. Give our directors a call today to help you connect with your first creative writing tutor.

Even better: Princeton Review's instructors are categorized by topic, so students can specifically search for tutors with expertise in whatever subject help is needed.

Rather than negotiating rates with individual tutors, Princeton Review offers several different pricing plans, including monthly subscriptions with a set number of hours per month or a more flexible plan allowing access anytime.

Monthly packages range from about $40 for one hour to roughly $340 for 10 hours per month, while six-month flex plans run from approximately $350 for 10 hours ($35 per hour) to around $1,450 for 50 hours ($29 per hour).

You can use Skooli as a long-term tutoring option—either with one specific instructor or different ones each time students log on—but it’s also designed for in-the-moment queries. The pricing structure reflects that: Skooli charges around $1 per minute rather than monthly or even hourly rates, so all time is accounted for while learning.

For the most part, tutors on Skooli are well-vetted and experienced and hold degrees and teaching certifications, so students can be sure that every minute spent will further their knowledge.

Best National : Kaplan

• Price: Courses start at $549 (ACT prep) and $1,100 (LSAT prep)

Robust offering

Widely known and trusted brand

Not much offered beyond test prep courses

Not for basic writing tutoring

Kaplan's name and its test prep formulas are top of the line. For students looking for private or group tutoring to prepare for a standardized test or entrance exam, Kaplan’s tutoring program is one of the most comprehensive.

Students can sign up for small-group remote classes with experienced teachers or enroll in private, one-on-one tutoring. Tutoring sessions are highly structured, including multiple full-length practice tests and in-depth explanations for scores. It’s as close as it gets to taking the test before you actually take it.

While a good portion of the tutoring focuses on the multiple-choice sections of these tests, Kaplan tutors also work with students to improve their writing skills and help them learn what the test review boards are looking for in each individual exam. The platform is for serious, long-term tutoring with highly experienced tutors and exclusive materials, not one-time sessions, and the prices reflect that.

Prices vary depending on which test you’re preparing for. If you're prepping for the ACT, you can enroll in an online class with top ACT teachers for $549. If you want one-on-one tutoring, options start at $749. If you're prepping for the LSAT, they offer a live online course for $1,100 and one-on-one tutoring plus a live online course starting at $1,999.

Best for Creative Writing : Wyzant

• Price: Starts at $25 an hour
• Grade Level: All, plus adults

Wyzant allows you to search for tutors in your subject matter of interest, including both gen-eds and more creative classes. 

Ability to search for the type of tutor you want

Search within your price range

24/7 access to tutors

Experience is specific to the tutor you choose

Site does not have tutors adhere to a specific methodology

No tutor/student relationship, as sessions are one-off and as-needed

While the majority of tutoring sites focus more on straightforward academics, Wyzant also includes creative writing tutors. Whether you’re a student working on an English class assignment, a creative writing major looking for a little extra guidance, or just someone wanting to dig into creative writing on your own time, there’s likely an instructor for you.

The site filters tutors by broad subject area and then by narrower expertise. Prospective students can view a tutor’s profile, rating, and hourly rate before reaching out. Many of the site’s creative writing tutors have advanced degrees or professional experience, so you can be sure you’re getting genuine expert help.

Wyzant gives students and tutors a lot of leeway to negotiate their own relationships, both in the classroom and in terms of rates. Tutors set their own fees (the average is between about $25 and $65 per hour, although there are plenty of tutors above and below that range), and the platform offers a one-hour guarantee: the first hour lesson with a new tutor is guaranteed to be a success, or it’s free. It’s a great way to dip your toe in and get help honing your craft.

Best for Professional Writing : Business Writing Center

• Price: $69 up to $595
• Grade Level: Adult
• Frequency: Self-paced for four months

Business Writing Center caters specifically to professionals by teaching business writing for reports, proposals, and other important work writing. 

Specifically for business professionals

Classes for non-native speakers available

Self-paced classes may not be for everyone

Greater fee for individualized courses

Business Writing Center (BWC) isn’t your typical tutoring service.

Rather than aiming its services at secondary school-aged students, the site is geared toward business professionals looking to brush up their writing skills. While some of the offerings are more suitable for business people whose first language isn’t English, there are options for one-on-one tutoring and feedback on professional reports, proposals, and other important work documents.

Rather than hourly tutoring, BWC offers its tutoring services through “coaching” courses. The company has a few different specialties, including document writing, coaching for executive writing, and a more general individual training option.

Self-paced courses start at $69, go up to $595, and can last up to four months. They allow students to work on real-world writing projects and get personalized feedback from an experienced teacher.

An online writing tutor can help students and professionals alike brush up on their writing skills so that their finished writing projects are more successful. Since you can access these tutors from anywhere, they can accommodate most schedules and learning rhythms. We chose Chegg Study as the best overall online tutoring service because it's affordable, convenient, and offers a range of writing tutoring options.

What Is an Online Writing Tutoring Service?

An online writing tutoring service is a website or platform that connects students with writing tutors, completely online and remote. These companies may be geared toward a specific grade level or type of writing, or they may be a more general platform to connect students and tutors.

A research study found that students who sought the help of tutors in writing the second draft of essays progressed more and scored higher on their second drafts than those who did not seek help. The same study found that students who used online tutoring services in addition to in-person tutoring in their school’s writing center scored even higher than those who did not take advantage of online tutoring services.

How Much Do Online Writing Tutoring Services Cost?

Online writing tutoring services cover a wide range of prices. In general, there are two basic models: pay-per-session or subscription. For the former, students pay for access each time they use the service for tutoring help. For the latter, students pre-pay for a package that spans a certain amount of time, number of sessions, or even a mini-course that also includes one-on-one tutoring time. Many tutoring services charge $1 per minute or $35 to $60 per hour. Monthly packages can range from about $69 to thousands of dollars.

What Can You Learn From a Professional Writing Tutoring Session?

Adult professionals can expect to gain practical skills they can apply directly to the writing they do in their chosen profession. Some of those skills may include document writing, executive writing, using basic grammar and sentence structure, and writing for non-native speakers of English.

Online writing tutors may also look over previously written documents and provide edits and/or suggestions to help you polish them.

What Features Do Online Writing Tutoring Services Have?

Every tutoring service structures its offerings a little differently, and each tutor may have their own particular style of teaching. That being said, these platforms are usually based around chat functions, either video/audio or text-based (or some combination of both), and many services have some type of screen-sharing and document-sharing capabilities.

Most online writing tutors will focus on helping students apply their knowledge in a practical sense. While some might have pre-planned assignments to develop particular skills (more common in specialized subjects like creative writing or test prep), other instructors prefer to have students come prepared with an assignment they need help with and give feedback to strengthen it.

Online writing tutoring doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and we’ve tried to make selecting an instructor as easy as possible. Because “writing” is such a broad skill applied to so many different settings, we’ve sorted out some of the categories that we think will be the most useful to the largest number of students. The platforms here range from specialized expertise in niches like business writing and test prep to more general essay-writing assistance.

Students seeking a writing tutor may want a long-term preparatory course or help with an individual essay. With this in mind, we’ve included a wide range of specialties and, more importantly, price points, from pay-per-minute instant feedback to formal, highly researched, long-term prep classes that cost significantly more over the course of several months.

Creative writing lessons in the US focus on nurturing individual expression and fostering a deep understanding of various literary forms. These lessons often begin with the exploration of foundational elements such as character development, plot construction, and setting, providing students with the tools to craft compelling narratives. Students are encouraged to experiment with diverse writing styles and genres, fostering a creative environment where they can discover their unique voices and perspectives. Workshops and peer critiques play a crucial role, offering constructive feedback and honing students' ability to analyze and appreciate the creative work of their peers.

Additionally, creative writing lessons in the US frequently incorporate exposure to a wide range of literary works, both classic and contemporary, to broaden students' literary knowledge and inspire their writing. Through discussions and analysis of notable works, students gain insights into the nuances of storytelling and the art of language. Instructors often guide students in developing a strong writing portfolio, emphasizing the importance of revision and editing to refine their work. Overall, these lessons aim to instill a passion for creative expression, equipping students with the skills and confidence to pursue writing as a form of artistic communication.

How Can I Learn Creative Writing?

Learning creative writing involves a combination of formal education, self-directed study, and practical experience. Many universities and colleges offer creative writing courses as part of their curriculum, providing structured lessons on various aspects of storytelling, character development, and literary techniques. Enrolling in these programs allows aspiring writers to receive feedback from experienced instructors and engage in workshops with peers, fostering a supportive community that encourages growth and improvement.

In addition to formal education, aspiring writers can benefit from self-directed learning. This may involve reading extensively across genres, studying the works of renowned authors, and participating in writing groups or online communities to share and receive feedback. Writing regularly, experimenting with different styles and genres, and seeking constructive criticism are essential components of the learning process. Utilizing online resources, attending writing conferences, and joining writing workshops or critique groups can also provide valuable insights and networking opportunities within the writing community. Ultimately, a combination of formal education, self-directed study, and consistent practice contributes to a well-rounded and effective approach to learning creative writing.

What are the Four Types of Creative Writing?

Creative writing encompasses various forms, and it can be broadly categorized into four main types: fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and drama. Fiction involves the creation of imaginative and invented narratives, often including novels, short stories, and novellas. Poetry is characterized by the use of language rhythmically and expressively, conveying emotions, ideas, and images through carefully crafted verses, stanzas, and poetic devices.

Nonfiction encompasses a diverse range of creative writing, including personal essays, memoirs, and journalism, where the author presents factual information in a compelling and narrative style. It allows writers to explore real events, experiences, and ideas with a creative and literary approach. Finally, drama involves the creation of scripts for performance, such as plays and screenplays. This form of creative writing focuses on dialogue, character development, and the visual elements of storytelling to engage and entertain an audience. These four types provide a broad framework for writers to explore and express their creativity across various genres and mediums.

Is it Easy to Learn Creative Writing?

The ease of learning creative writing varies from person to person, as it depends on individual aptitude, dedication, and the specific aspects of writing one wants to master. While some people may find creative writing to be a natural and intuitive process, others may need more time and practice to develop their skills. Like any craft, becoming proficient in creative writing often requires consistent effort, a willingness to learn from feedback, and the ability to embrace challenges.

Formal education, writing workshops, and feedback from peers can significantly aid the learning process, providing structure, guidance, and opportunities for improvement. However, the subjective nature of creative writing means that there are no strict rules, and success is often measured by personal growth and fulfillment. Patience, persistence, and a passion for storytelling are key elements in the journey of learning creative writing, making it accessible to those who are willing to invest time and energy into honing their craft.
