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
Can a tutor help my child prepare for National 5 English at Dumbarton Academy?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum and can provide targeted support for the National 5 English course, focusing on everything from critical reading of set texts to understanding the marking criteria for exam papers.
My child hopes to study at the University of Glasgow. How can reading tuition help?
Strong analytical and critical reading skills are essential for university-level study. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced comprehension abilities needed to write a compelling personal statement and, more importantly, to thrive when they begin their degree at a top institution like Glasgow.
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 style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. This helps you find an expert who you feel will connect with your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 do online Reading tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been through a rigorous vetting process, including an identity check and a background check (such as a DBS or PVG check).
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in Reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges, helping your child see that they are capable of making real progress.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary level right through to university, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to engage more in class and feel better prepared for schoolwork and exams. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude to learning.
What if our schedule changes and we need to miss a lesson?
That's no problem. We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
