Training a whole team, or an agency’s clients? That is WordPress training rather than tutoring — same instructor, built for groups.

Your tutor

Grant J. Price III

Founder of WP Tutoring and the person on every call. Teaching WordPress one-on-one since 2012 — more than 2,000 site owners, from a first blog to international e-commerce multisites, nonprofits and government teams.

The approach has not changed in thirteen years: no slide deck, no sample site. Your dashboard is open from the first minute, and the session follows your list. You leave with the tasks done, the recording, and the confidence to do them again without us.

  • Trained teams at the Library of Congress, the American Fisheries Society and the IBWA
  • Author of the free 83-page WordPress Manual, downloaded in five languages
  • Instructor for the WP Tutoring video course library

“Grant walked me through, step-by-step, showing me how to use the many features of WordPress. I'm so much more confident now. If you need tutoring, Grant is your man.”

Lauren Yingling · Webmaster, The Millennial Legacy

“It was educational! They not only fixed my issues but took the time to explain everything clearly. I left feeling empowered with new knowledge — not just a temporary solution.”

Emily · WordPress tutoring client

“He trained us directly on our own website and helped us tackle the specific tasks we needed — a highly customized session. We're eager to put his SEO knowledge to use on our new site.”

Suzanna · Communications, American Floral Society

How a tutoring session works

1

Tell us what you're stuck on

A sentence or a list — the contact form below or a call is enough. We'll tell you honestly whether a session is the right answer.

2

Pick a time

One to four hours, on your schedule. Evenings and early mornings are fine.

3

Meet on Zoom, on your site

Your tutor works in your actual dashboard with you, task by task, answering the questions as they come up.

4

Get the recording

The whole session arrives the next day so you can replay any step. Most people never need to book the same topic twice.

What a WordPress tutor helps with

Anything a site owner, editor or small team has to do in WordPress. Not PHP programming or heavy custom CSS — for that you want a developer, and we will say so.

The block editor

Pages, posts, patterns, reusable layouts and the Site Editor — the daily work, done confidently.

Themes and design

Change what your site looks like without breaking it: Astra, GeneratePress, Neve, Divi, block themes.

Page builders

Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder, on the site somebody else built and left you with.

Plugins

Which ones you actually need, how to set them up, and which to remove — forms, SEO, backups, security, caching.

WooCommerce and memberships

Products, checkout, shipping, taxes, and the membership and LMS plugins that run on WordPress.

Fixing things

The white screen, the failed update, the page that won't save, the login you lost — worked through live, then explained.

What a tutor changes that a video can’t

You stop losing evenings

The thing you've been circling for three nights is usually a ten-minute fix for someone who has seen it before. That is the whole economics of a tutor.

You learn the shortcuts nobody writes down

Keyboard shortcuts, the pattern library, the list view, the command palette — small things that change how the editor feels every single day.

You get plugin advice, not plugin marketing

There are sixty thousand plugins. A tutor who has installed hundreds will tell you which four your site needs and which ones will slow it down or stop being maintained.

It's about your site, not a sample site

Courses teach a clean install. Your site has an inherited theme, a page builder, real content and a client waiting. Tutoring starts from where you actually are.

You find out what you didn't know to ask

No backups. Three administrator accounts that should be editors. Auto-updates off since 2022. The most valuable ten minutes of a session are often about something that wasn't on your list.

None of this means you should skip the free material. Start with the free WordPress training videos and the free WordPress manual; if you want a sequence rather than answers, the WordPress courses are the same instructor on video, and the beginner course is where most people start. A tutor is for the parts that are specific to your site — and for the evening you would rather not lose.

WordPress tutor questions

How does online WordPress tutoring work?
You tell us what you're stuck on, we agree a time, and we meet on Zoom with your site open. You share your screen or we share ours — either way the work happens on your actual website, not a demo. You get a recording of the session the next day.
How much does a WordPress tutor cost?
$85 an hour, booked from one hour up to four at a time. There is no contract, no package to buy first and no minimum; many people get what they need from a single session. Group and business rates are available on request.
What can I ask during a session?
Anything about running a WordPress site: the block editor, pages and posts, menus, media, themes and the Site Editor, plugins, WooCommerce, page builders such as Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder, users and roles, backups, updates, speed and basic SEO. The only things we don't teach are PHP programming and heavy custom CSS.
Do I need to prepare anything?
A list of the things you want to get done, and an administrator login to your site. If you'd rather not work on the live site, we can set up a safe practice copy first.
Is it really one-on-one?
Yes. Every session is private and built around what you bring to it — no pre-set curriculum, no other students. If you want two or three colleagues in the same session, that's fine too; it's still your agenda.
Do you help with WordPress multisite, membership sites or WooCommerce stores?
Yes to all three. We administer multisites for clients, and WooCommerce and membership plugins are among the most common reasons people book.
What if I only have a quick question?
Book one hour. Most quick questions turn out to have two or three neighbours, and an hour with someone who knows the answer usually saves an evening of searching. If it really is five minutes, we'll spend the rest showing you the things you didn't know to ask.
Where are you, and what time zones do you cover?
We're in North Carolina and teach online across the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. Sessions run on your schedule, including early mornings and evenings for other time zones.

Comparing formats? WordPress training online weighs tutoring against courses and classes side by side.
