My daughter has been having tutoring session with Jo for some time now, her reading has improved so much in that time. My daughter can be quite shy but she settled with Jo very quickly and she makes the lesson engaging and fun.Would recommend to anyone who needs some help for their child who is behind at school.

Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my son’s tutor. She’s personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my son’s face as he’s learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, ‘Hannah is so calm and I’m really enjoying tutoring’. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. This helps you get a feel for their approach and find someone your child will connect with.
Are the Reading tutors actually based in Ormskirk?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, and they teach online. This gives you a much wider choice than just tutors who live locally in Ormskirk, so you can find the absolute best expert for your child, no matter where they are.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. 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.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who fits your budget.
My child attends a school in Ormskirk, can a tutor match their curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are highly experienced with the UK national curriculum and can tailor their lessons to align with the specific topics, books, and methods your child is learning at their school in Ormskirk.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We are very strict with our selection, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How does the online classroom work?
It's simple! Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and easy to use, so your child can focus on learning.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well to build momentum without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
How can a tutor help if my child finds reading boring?
A great tutor can make reading exciting! By choosing books and topics that match your child's interests, playing word games, and showing them the adventures hidden in stories, a tutor can help change their perspective and make reading fun.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The most common session length is one hour. This gives enough time to review previous topics, tackle new concepts, and set goals for the next lesson without your child losing focus.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond core academics like Reading and Maths, your child can learn everything from guitar and piano to coding and Spanish. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development too.
