VB Tutoring

VB Tutoring was founded in 2020 by Victoria, a Qualified Teacher with 27 years of experience. Victoria is registered on the DBS Update Service and is a member of The Tutors Association. She has extensive experience working with both Primary and Secondary students and has provided individualised English lessons for all ranges of ability, including work with many Special Educational Needs children.

Victoria marks for multiple examination boards and educational research centres, and maintains her training through conferences, regular safeguarding training, and active engagement in CPD. VB Tutoring offers online English tuition to ages 7–16, covering Key Stage 2, 3 and 4, with a focus on English Language and Literature skills. Bespoke classes cover the main examination boards at GCSE, including AQA, Eduqas and Edexcel, and specialised classes for Years 5 and 6 prepare children for the National Curriculum Tests (SATs).

Intervention lessons improve literacy skills such as inference, retrieval and evaluation, and teaching covers grammar, spelling, punctuation, and creative and transactional writing. The service uses the latest online technology, including an individual board for each student, and runs group discussions so that children can learn from each other; Victoria models how to answer questions and supports children individually when on task. No other tutors are used.

VB Tutoring in Liverpool is built around the teaching of Victoria, whose English Language and English Literature sessions are repeatedly described as clear, well structured and delivered with patience. Parents of GCSE pupils note how she connects with young people who have previously found the subject difficult, and several mention a child's confidence growing alongside a renewed willingness to engage with lessons.

A recurring theme is the speed of visible improvement: one family reports a predicted grade of 3 becoming a 6, while another refers to the highest mark in the class in November mocks. Reviewers praise her individual approach, including the choice of material linked to a pupil's hobbies, and the extra revision sessions arranged before exams. Work set between lessons is described as appropriate and useful, and her encouragement is singled out by parents of both sons and daughters.

The qualities that come up most often are patience, warmth and expertise, together with the trust she establishes with children who had disengaged from English. A parent of a Year 11 pupil who moved from struggling to succeeding in both Language and Literature describes lessons that were interesting, structured and eagerly anticipated, with the tutoring making a decisive difference to results.
