Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child goes to a school in Birkenhead. How can an online tutor align with their specific curriculum?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum, including GCSE and A-Level specifications used by schools across the Wirral. They will work with you and your child to understand their specific syllabus, focus on the areas they find challenging, and complement their schoolwork perfectly.

Is online English Language tutoring as effective as meeting in person?

Yes, and many families in Birkenhead find it even more effective. Online lessons are focused and distraction-free, using interactive tools like whiteboards to make concepts clear. Plus, your child can learn from the comfort of home, and you get access to a much wider choice of specialist tutors from across the UK.

Can a tutor help my child connect with the literary history of the Wirral, like Wilfred Owen?

What a great idea! Many of our English tutors love bringing the subject to life with local context. If exploring the work of figures like Wilfred Owen would inspire your child, you can find a tutor with a passion for war poetry or local history to make their learning even more relevant and engaging.

What happens if we don't click with the first English Language tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is key, and we want you to be completely happy. We have a first lesson guarantee: if you don't get on with your first choice of tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do you ensure your English Language tutors are high quality?

We're very selective because we know how much this matters. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from some of the best in the country.

Can a tutor help my child specifically with their GCSE or A-Level English Language exams?

Yes, this is one of our most common requests. Our tutors are brilliant at demystifying mark schemes, teaching effective revision strategies, and building exam technique. They can help your child walk into their exams feeling prepared and confident.

My child is also interested in creative writing. Do you offer tutors for that?

We do! We believe in learning for life, not just for exams. Alongside core academic subjects like English and maths, we have fantastic tutors who specialise in everything from creative writing and public speaking to coding and music.

What technology does my child need for their online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

How much does online English Language tutoring cost for a student in Birkenhead?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you'll know the cost upfront with no hidden fees.

How quickly will I see a change in my child's confidence in English?

Every child is different, but progress often comes from feeling understood and supported. Many parents tell us they notice a change in their child's attitude and self-belief after just a few sessions, as they start to experience those 'aha!' moments with a tutor who gets them.

We have a really busy schedule with after-school clubs. How flexible is scheduling?

This is where online tutoring is a lifesaver for busy families. You're in complete control. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and arrange session times that fit perfectly around your family's commitments, whether that's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays.

Since the tutors aren't in Birkenhead, how do they know what my child needs?

That's the beauty of it. A great English tutor's expertise isn't tied to their postcode. Because the curriculum is national, an expert in Manchester or London can provide fantastic support for a student in Birkenhead. They focus on your child's individual learning needs, which is what makes the real difference.
