Professional creative and critical writer and editor offering editing and proofreading for novels, short fiction, and poetry.

I took Ross's lessons for one academic year from the start of year 11. He has been the most amazing help for my GCSE English, both literature and language. I'm very grateful for the professional support I have received, and I would highly recommend him as I feel more confident towards exams now! Thank you so much!

Ross is excellent English tutor who massively improved both my confidence and ability. His lessons were always clear, engaging, and incredibly helpful, and his feedback really helped me develop deeper analysis and stronger essays. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Ross was an absolutely fantastic tutor. The passion and assistance he showed really sparked my enthusiasm for the subject, and I’m really grateful for all his help!

Deborah has been an outstanding English tutor for my 10-year-old son. She combines patience, creativity, and a clear teaching style that keeps him engaged and motivated. She makes learning fun while still being structured. We highly recommend her to other parents.

I met Ross after explaining to my mum that I wanted to do better in English after my year 10 mocks and I don't regret it.

The lessons have helped me understand the texts I was going through in school and helped me deeply analyse and answer past paper questions that we went through together.

He perfect tailors the lessons to his students and makes sure he thoroughly goes through each and every aspect on the specification for English and he creates notes which are easy to understand but have deep enough analysis to write about in the exam.

I highly recommend him, as he's boosted my confidence and I feel much more confident every time I leave his lessons.

Ross critiqued and discussed in detail a dozen or more of my short stories and chapters. I had reached a plateau and needed guidance on how to improve my plots and prose. Ross helped me grow by leaps and bounds.

I first met Ross Turner at one of his writing seminars. This first one was on motifs, and I found the discussions and writing exercises very helpful. I have since attended a number of his workshops and each one has resulted in some improvement in my writing. I have also sent him short stories and more recently chapters from my novel for editing and general writing help. Ross is very kind, supportive, and his editorial writing notes are thorough. With his editing services he also includes a zoom call before reading the manuscript. During the zoom call he asked questions and took notes on the issues that were of concern to me about my novel. In his editorial notes he attended to those alongside any other writing issues. I am grateful for his help. He is one of those teachers that has a good balance of challenging me as a writer, but being kind and enthusiastic about my writing, so that I always leave the discussions inspired to write more (and better). I highly recommend him for any writer looking to improve.

I highly recommend Ross as an English tutor for anyone looking to excel in GCSE English. His deep knowledge of the syllabus has been invaluable, helping me explore the content in much greater depth. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve already seen dramatic improvement, though I know there’s still a way to go. I’m confident that, with Ross’s support, I’ll be able to overcome every challenge. His expertise and dedication make him an excellent choice as a teacher!

Deborah (who works with Ross) tutored my son brilliantly. My son loves to read and being more scientific found interpreting how to answer his English GCSE papers tricky. Deborah patiently taught him a logical way to approach his GCSE and the results speak for themselves - he gained a 6 at GCSE (having achieved a 2 in his mock). Thank you. Would recommend.

Enthusiastic, thorough, extremely knowledgeable in English language and engaging. Ross provided targeted support to my daughter during her A Level in English Langusge.

Having not been very experienced at writing essays, Ross helped me complete my dissertation to a level where I feel brilliant about what I have produced. He has a massive amount of understanding in everything related to writing, and a manner that allows him to communicate that to you in a way that helps you understand it too. Using his services was invaluable to my dissertation and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with work, writing in general, or a course you’re on

Amazing support with my undergraduate dissertation. Provided proofreading, editing and suggestions, ensuring even the bibliography was up to his excellence standard. I was extremely pleased with his service even on such short notice. Would recommend him for any academic support required in whatever field. My dissertation was in the field of economics. Definitely would've used his support earlier in my degree if I had known.

Ross is an amazing tutor. I wanted someone to help my son through his GCSE English. My son is dyslexic and autistic so he does struggle with GCSE writing and reading.

Ross has made such a difference. I’m feeling confident about my son’s exams, but, far more importantly, Robert is enjoying writing much more than he used to. His creative expression and communication of emotions in writing has improved so much. I feel tremendously grateful to Ross for this, and so delighted to see Robert’s progress. I cannot recommend Ross more highly.

Ross is an excellent English tutor who has helped my son improve by 2 grades in his creative writing and Analytical writing in less than 6 months. He is very patient and full of knowledge We highly recommend him and couldn't ask for a better tutor. Thank you, Ross.

When I came to the new school, the English lesson there was very hard for me. I was averaging a percentage of 40% and frankly, I was one of the worst English student in my class. Now, after learning with Ross, I was awarded a 93% English result in my year 8 end-of-the-year test. His help to me is massive and I wouldn't have done it without him. To anybody that want a better English result, I would recommend Ross to you.

I highly recommend Ross as one of the best English language and literature teachers I have come across. He approached my son's preparation professionally and responsibly, organizing the materials and going beyond the usual knowledge. As a father, I was extremely pleased with his transparency, thoroughness, and friendliness.

Amazing. He helped me with the development of my professional writing assignments in my professional development course. His feed back was well worth the expense. You can not find better with regards to professional writing.

After some attempts, I was lucky enough to find Ross as my son's English teacher. A lot of people can teach English, but not all people will give you professional guidance to benefit you quickly. Ross is a trusted teacher. He is very knowledgeable and comprehensive. My son has been exposed to different types of writing styles during his studying with Ross which has broadened his vision and thinking. Ross has a unique teaching style and system teaching plan, which ensures that the quality of learning is very efficient. Ross is very responsible, he will give specific instructions on every assignment, from article structure, grammar use, vocabulary, and even punctuation. My son tells me that this class is very valuable for him.

As a professional, Grammar has always been an area I knew needed refinement - particularly when preparing documentation and the like.

Ross has been incredibly helpful and patient with tutoring me and helping me improve my writing style. The resources and knowledge he has are brilliant and have made a noticeable difference in my work.

The sessions are carefully planned and tailored to the student, which makes each one very valuable!

I would highly recommend Ross as a Tutor.

Ross was superb with my dissertation, his advice was great throughout the whole process and really helped me. He answered every query I had! I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning from Prof. Ross. In a short amount of time, he went above and beyond to cater to my needs, revisiting my queries repeatedly, which I especially appreciate. He was sincere and reassuring, qualities I admire in a teacher. Highly recommended!

Returning to education after quite some years, I soon became aware my approach to academic writing was lacking. Ross's professional, patient, enthusiastic and client-specific approach, is invaluable in understanding how to prepare, structure and complete my work, utilising grammar, in a succinct fashion. My weekly sessions with Ross have boosted my understanding, confidence and skill set. Altogether an experience I have found very helpful and highly recommend.

It is my pleasure to recommend Ross as a tutor: he is simply AMAZING! He is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful; he supported me immensely with A star equivalent exam. I found Ross not only to be very engaging but also an inspirational educator. Ross was able to understand what I needed to do in order to achieve my goal, so he carefully designed and planned each lesson and each homework to meet my needs. I found every session interesting and I was motivated to further challenge myself implementing what we discussed. He is an expert in English Language and he is passionate to share his love for the subject. I have greatly benefitted from his help.Thank you Ross! I will be back.

Ross has been of invaluable help to me with my Creative Writing MA. From laying out academic essays to fine-tuning and perfecting my creative pieces, Ross has been an incredible support. He's professional, friendly, and I thoroughly recommend him.

I have now engaged Ross on both professional and personal levels. Professionally to work with a non-native English speaker to improve her written English, and personally to help my daughter prepare for her GCSEs. At all time I have found him to be extremely professional and capable, and the feedback from the staff member and my daughter has been very positive.

Ross is an AMAZING tutor, his expertise is so helpful in ensuring your essay is to the highest standard against the grading criteria. Ross takes pride in what he does and gives the most constructive, helpful, and supportive feedback. He has helped me immensely, in my writing ability and confidence. Ross, spends numerous hours looking thoroughly through your work, and provides insightful and informative sessions to discuss the feedback, and is always available and contactable for further help. I couldn't recommend Ross enough, he has been so supportive in my academic writing. Thankyou Ross.

Ross is outstanding. Professional, efficient and has a brilliant way with explaining complex writing and grammar issues in a clear and simple way. We are a Chinese background family, we keen to have a good English tutor to help my son in his writing and improve his English. My son's progression has been impressive since we started tutoring with Ross 3 months ago. He has a detailed plan of what needs to be achieved and how fast we should go, setting challenging homework to help push my son on a weekly basis.

Ross is very much in demand so if you can secure a place with him don't hesitate to make the most of it.

Ross is a fantastic tutor, from beginning to end he was there every step of the way. He evaluates your piece of writing carefully and all comments/feedback he gives are well explained. He notices details that you would otherwise miss. As well as suggesting improvements, he also highlights parts of your writing that he enjoys/appreciates, encouraging you to continue with that style. Ross is extremely personable, you really get to know him as a person on the other side of technology. He also makes you feel that your piece of work or project is just as important to him as it is to you. His professionalism, expertise and personable nature all mean that I would recommend him time and time again. In fact, he is the only person I would turn to when needing help with a project.

Ross is a fellow student in my poetry workshop at the University of Gloucestershire. When I get my work edited by Ross, I always receive helpful and detailed notes about how I can improve it, and I can always rely on him to give me honest and reliable feedback. I would recommend Ross if you need an unbiased and professional analysis of your work.

Ross is an absolutely great tutor! He’s helped edit and annotate my work and goes through feedback with me so that I understand and know what to do to improve. He’s patient, calm and friendly and he’s made such a difference in my work. I’d say a lot of my higher grades and achievements are down to him. Ross is the one to go to if you need help and support

Ross is incredibly patient when teaching and will also make sure I understand where my errors are. He doesnt just correct them for me but makes sure I know why its wrong. He is also very good at making suggestions to allow me to grow in my writing and not just change things for me. He always goes in depth when editing and never leaves anything unread. Would 100% recommend.

If you are looking for someone that is totally in control of your learning and offers support and guidance along the way, then look no further than Ross. We have studied together for three years and he is my absolute ‘go-to’ person for every aspect of the written word. Snap this guy up while you can.

Ross is incredibly patient and very approachable. He is great at editing, and giving tips and advice on written pieces.
