Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Wirral Grammar or West Kirby Grammar. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, vocabulary, and creative writing skills needed for the exam, while also working on their confidence and exam technique.
My child is worried about getting the GCSE grades needed for a top sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A dedicated English tutor can make a huge difference to GCSE performance. In fact, we can help improve your child's results by up to two grades. Tutors can provide focused support on specific texts, essay writing, and exam preparation to help your child secure the grades they need for their next step.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking your first session.
How much does an online English tutor in Wirral cost?
The price of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home, at a time that works for your family.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's 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 build my child's confidence?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe and supportive environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach gets results. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a positive shift in their child's attitude towards learning.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then introduce a new concept like poetic devices, and work through examples together on the interactive whiteboard. The focus is always on your child's specific learning goals for that session.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, coding, languages, and many other hobbies and professional skills.
Can we fit tutoring around our busy family schedule?
Definitely. The flexibility of online tutoring is one of its biggest benefits. You can schedule sessions for evenings, weekends, or even during school holidays, finding a time that fits perfectly around your family's other commitments.
