Alan W
Vastly experienced A level chemistry tutor
I have taught A level chemistry since 1988 and have experience of several examination boards (principally AQA and OCR but there is little variation in content between boards since 2015) both as a teacher and as an examiner. Until recently, I taught at a large 6th form college teaching A level chemistry only and led the department for ten years before becoming a senior manager. Chemistry can be a confusing subject due to the uniqueness of the language used and the impossibility of actually seeing the subject on a molecular level.However, it is a fundamentally logical subject and, hence, I like to...

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

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. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

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
My child is hoping to go to West Lancashire College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs in key subjects like Maths and English. They can help your child target the specific grade they need for their desired course, working on exam technique and filling any knowledge gaps to build their confidence.
We're looking ahead to universities like Edge Hill. How can tutoring now support that long-term goal?
Building a strong academic foundation early on is key for university applications. A tutor can help your child achieve higher grades at GCSE and A-Level, which strengthens their UCAS application. They can also help develop independent study skills and a deeper passion for their subject, which are invaluable for higher education.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does online tutoring in Skelmersdale cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
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 do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get help with a university degree, or learn a new skill like coding, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. The one-to-one attention in a supportive, patient environment can do wonders for a child's self-esteem. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics helps them see that they are capable of succeeding.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you can see progress quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
A session is usually focused on your child's specific needs. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been doing in school, followed by working through a particular topic they're stuck on, practising exam questions, or reviewing homework together.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. You can arrange lesson times directly with your chosen tutor. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you can easily find someone who is available after school, in the evenings, or on weekends to fit around your family's schedule.
