Personalised Online Tutoring That Puts Your Child First
The right tutor can make all the difference. We know how important it is to find someone your child connects with, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our tutors are experts in their subjects, but more than that, they are mentors who take the time to understand your child's unique learning style and what makes them tick. This creates a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and building real confidence. Every lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're finding a particular topic in GCSE Chemistry tricky or need help structuring their English essays, their tutor will focus the session on that exact area. This one-to-one attention means they can learn at their own pace, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand', which is how real progress is made. We can even help your child improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades. Finding that support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With online tutoring, you can connect with the best tutors from across the UK right from your home in Widnes. Lessons are flexible and can be booked to fit around your family's commitments, making it a simple, stress-free way to get your child the help they need. It's why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6 stars.

Christopher B
HE Skills ready, GCSE and A Level History/Politics Tutor
I have been involved in education since 2002 when my own PE teachers told myself and a few friends if we wanted an after school basketball class we had to get the coaching qualifications and run it ourselves. Hardly looked back since! In 2009 I qualified with my BA in History and in 2011 achieved my teaching qualification and recognised professional status in 2013. In 2018 I also completed a Masters degree in History, committed as I am to becoming not just a general historian but a specialist in my main topic areas. During this time, working in Guildford, Teesside and Liverpool I have developed...

Michael P
Friendly and enthusiastic Maths tutor
I have been working as a private tutor for the last five years. I wanted to become a teacher because I am passionate about maths as a subject. I realise that not everyone thinks the same why I do, but with the right encouragement and support students can succeed in mathematics. In a classroom, often, it can be hard for the teacher to see everyone face to face so sometimes that extra help can be what is needed. I have lots of experience in schools, I worked as a teaching assistant for two years and then I spent a year in Liverpool Hope University training for a PGCE which required extensive teaching...

Mustafa A
So far, I have had four lessons with Mustafa, and I have found him to be really supportive and thorough. In my first lesson, he took the time to identify my strengths and weaknesses in GCSE Chemistry so that he could prepare future lessons to the topics I was least confident in.
Throughout our lessons, we have worked through each topic carefully, making sure I fully understand the content before moving on. I also asked if we could go through my Chemistry mock exam questions in an upcoming lesson, and he was very happy to do so, which made me feel really supported. He always finishes lessons with exam questions, which has helped build my confidence and exam technique. Mustafa has also discussed revision techniques with me, which I’ve found very helpful when studying independently.
If there is any content I don’t understand, he quizzes me and explains it clearly until I feel confident. As someone who isn’t always confident in my answers, I now feel much more comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. I look forward to continuing my lessons with Mustafa. Thank you.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Carmel College. Can a tutor help them get the specific GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can work with your child to identify areas for improvement, focus on exam technique, and build the subject knowledge required to meet the entry requirements for places like Carmel College or Cronton Sixth Form.
We live in Widnes and are worried about the competition for university places in Liverpool and Manchester. How can tutoring help?
It's a common concern. A tutor can give your child a competitive edge by helping them achieve the best possible A-Level grades. They provide in-depth subject knowledge and mentorship that goes beyond the classroom, building the academic confidence and skills that top universities look for.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much do online tutors in Widnes cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
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 the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working one-to-one and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with hobbies?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding, or develop a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you updated on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable improvement not just in grades, but in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for a subject.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and schedule.
Can we get help with 11+, A-Levels, or degree-level study?
Yes. We have expert tutors available for all levels of education, from primary school and the 11+ exams right through to GCSEs, A-Levels, and even university degrees. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's specific stage of learning.
