Find an Online English Tutor in Ormskirk to Help Your Child Stand Out
It's completely understandable to feel the pressure when you see how competitive places are at colleges like Runshaw and Winstanley.

One-to-one online English tuition can make all the difference. It’s not about cramming; it's about giving your child the dedicated support they need to turn a strong grade into an exceptional one.

One-to-One English Support That’s Built Around Your Child
We believe the right tutor can change everything. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. Our tutors are experts not just in English, but in understanding how to connect with young people. They’ll take the time to get to know your child’s strengths and the areas where they need a bit more help, creating a supportive partnership where your child feels truly understood. Every lesson is designed for your child and your child alone. Forget one-size-fits-all classes; this is targeted support. If they're struggling to structure an essay on 'Macbeth' or need to master specific poetry analysis techniques, their tutor will focus the session exactly where it’s needed most. It’s this personal approach that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – and for GCSE, we can help them improve by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With Tutorful, you can browse background-checked tutors from across the UK and find the perfect match for your child.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Runshaw or Winstanley College. Can a tutor help them get the top English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades to secure places at competitive colleges. They can focus on the specific skills needed to turn a grade 6 or 7 into an 8 or 9, helping your child’s application stand out.
We have our sights set on universities like Lancaster or Manchester. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
A strong English GCSE is a crucial foundation. Our tutors help build the analytical and essay-writing skills that are not only vital for A-Levels but are also exactly what top universities like Lancaster and Manchester look for. They help your child become a more confident, independent learner, preparing them for future success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style. Watching their introduction video and reading reviews from other parents gives you a great sense of who they are. You can also message tutors for free to ask questions before you book a lesson.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a tool for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. As tutors get to know your child, they can adapt their teaching style to build on their strengths. Seeing their own progress in a supportive space is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that a weekly session works well, but the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange whatever works best for your child and your family with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with a specific text, like 'Jekyll and Hyde'?
Definitely. That's the great thing about one-to-one tuition. If your child needs to focus on a particular book, poem, or skill, the tutor can dedicate entire lessons to it. Just mention what you need when you message them.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering skills like coding and public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
How quickly can we get started?
You can start looking for a tutor today. Simply browse profiles, send messages to your preferred tutors to check their availability, and you can often have your first lesson booked within a few days.
