Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're in Formby and aiming for a grammar school in Crosby or Southport. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are 11+ specialists with experience helping children prepare for the specific entrance exams used by local grammar schools. They can build a tailored plan focusing on verbal and non-verbal reasoning, maths, and English to help your child feel calm and confident on exam day.
My child is at Formby High. How can a tutor help them get the top GCSE grades needed for a good university?
A tutor can make a huge difference. They can work with your child to close any knowledge gaps, strengthen their exam technique, and build the confidence needed to aim for the highest grades. For GCSEs, our tutors can help students improve by up to two grades, which can be pivotal when applying to competitive universities like Liverpool or Manchester.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, read their detailed bios, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also read genuine reviews from other parents, just like the 4,100+ who have rated us 4.6 stars.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How much does online tutoring cost in Formby?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant, affordable tutor who fits your budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
My child's confidence is low. Can a tutor really help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one environment provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged. Celebrating small wins and patiently working through challenges helps them see what they're truly capable of.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also have experts who can help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, master a new language, or even get to grips with skills like coding in Python.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency closer to an exam or have lessons fortnightly. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your tutor.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. 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.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates. Tutors are always happy to provide feedback on how your child is getting on, what they've been covering in lessons, and what the plan is for the weeks ahead.
