Virtual Schools, council SEN and commissioning teams, and schools across the Wirral can contact GAC Education to find a tutor. We look for someone within easy reach of the pupil, then work with you on a plan that fits their needs.

How it works
| Tuition type | Who it's for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Looked after and previously looked after children | Children in care, and previously looked after children, supported by a Virtual School | We plan the tuition with the Virtual School around the child's personal education plan (PEP). You can read how Pupil Premium Plus works on the looked after children page. |
| Children out of school | Children who are unwell, excluded or waiting for a school place | Home or online tuition arranged by the council, with a tutor who can easily reach the town (for example New Brighton, Eastham, West Kirby). There is more on the children out of school page. |
| SEND and EHCP tuition | Children with an EHCP or on SEN support, arranged by the council SEN team, the school or parents | 1 to 1 tuition across Birkenhead, Wallasey, Heswall and West Kirby, shaped around the child's needs. There is more on the SEND tuition page. |
| School catch up and exam preparation | Pupils working towards KS2 SATs, GCSEs or resits | Tuition your school pays for, for one pupil or a small group, for example a GCSE group in Heswall or primary catch up in Moreton. There is more on the catch up and exams page. |
The Wirral is a long peninsula, so we look for a tutor close to the pupil's own town.
Looking for school staff rather than a tutor? Visit the Wirral location page.
Call 0151 404 9965 or use the contact form. It helps if you can tell us:
We will then talk it through with you and agree a plan that suits the pupil.
Every tutor goes through our safer recruitment checks before they meet a pupil. That includes an enhanced DBS with a children's barred list check and references, in line with Keeping children safe in education 2026.
Same team, different council. Wirral Council looks after the peninsula, and a child looked after by Wirral stays with Wirral's Virtual School even if they go to school in Liverpool. The same works the other way round.
The whole peninsula, including Birkenhead, Prenton, Tranmere and Rock Ferry, Wallasey, New Brighton, Moreton and Leasowe, Bebington, Bromborough and Eastham, and Heswall, Pensby, West Kirby and Hoylake. Tell us the town and we will look for a tutor nearby.
Call 0151 404 9965 or use the contact form. Tell us the town, the kind of tuition, the pupil's year group and subjects, what you would like the tuition to achieve, and who is paying for it. Looking for school staff instead? Visit the Wirral location page.
