Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Carmel College. Can a tutor help them get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for college applications. They can focus on the exam board your child's school uses and work on the exact skills needed to achieve a Grade 5 or above, giving them the best chance of getting a place on their desired A-Level courses.
We're hoping for a competitive course at the University of Liverpool. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. A strong foundation in English is critical for university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for A-Levels, which in turn strengthens their UCAS application and prepares them for the demands of degree-level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style and messaging a few to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much does an online English tutor in Prescot cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can set your own budget and filter your search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's needs. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show your child that they are capable of improving. This personalised encouragement is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join the platform.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and novels for Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is usually focused on a specific goal set by you and your child. It might involve reviewing a tricky piece of homework, practising exam-style questions, workshopping an essay, or exploring a new topic. It's always interactive and tailored to your child's needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors to help your child learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even get started with practical skills like coding.
