Why Strong Reading Skills Open Doors for Your Child
Reading is the key that unlocks every other subject. It’s not just about enjoying a story; it's about understanding a tricky word problem in a Maths exam, analysing sources in History, or following a complex method in Science. Strong comprehension and a wide vocabulary are essential for success in the 11+, but their importance goes far beyond that. These skills are the bedrock of great GCSE and A-Level results, giving your child the best possible chance of getting into their chosen college, university, or career path.

Personalised Reading Support to Build Your Child's Confidence
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a partnership with your child. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, pinpointing exactly what's causing them to stumble—whether it's decoding words, understanding subtext, or building vocabulary—and tailor their approach accordingly. Imagine a lesson focused entirely on what your child needs most. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each session is designed to tackle their specific challenges. A tutor can spend the hour breaking down the skills needed for 11+ comprehension tests or find fun ways to expand your child's vocabulary. This focused attention helps your child make real, noticeable progress, which is the best confidence booster there is. Fitting that extra support into a busy family schedule is simple. With online tutoring, there's no need to worry about travel across Lincoln after a long school day. You can find a fully vetted, expert tutor who fits your budget and schedule lessons for whenever works best for you, all from the comfort of your own home.

Kader (tony) B
I have been tutoring Reading for the last 25 years.
I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks.Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level. When I prepare...

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
We're preparing for the 11+ for Lincoln's grammar schools. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can focus on the specific verbal reasoning, comprehension, and vocabulary skills your child will need for the selective tests used in Lincolnshire, building their confidence and exam technique.
My child is aiming for a top stream at a school like The Priory Academy LSST. Can a tutor support this goal?
Definitely. Strong reading ability is crucial for success across all subjects. A tutor can help strengthen your child's core comprehension and analytical skills, which not only helps them perform well in entrance assessments but also ensures they can thrive in a more demanding academic environment.
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 to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will genuinely connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an option that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel completely reassured.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in their reading?
Confidence comes from progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets a tutor's full, encouraging attention. They can ask questions without feeling embarrassed and celebrate small wins. This positive reinforcement in a safe space makes a huge difference to how they see themselves as a learner.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and resources. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
My child finds reading boring. How can a tutor help with that?
A great tutor can make reading exciting by connecting it to your child's own interests. Whether it's through books about football, fantasy worlds, or historical events, they can find material that sparks your child's curiosity and makes reading feel like a pleasure, not a chore.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session a week works well. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange session frequency and length directly with your tutor to fit around your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What age is reading tutoring for?
We have tutors who can help at every stage. Whether your child is just starting out with phonics in primary school, needs help analysing texts for their GCSEs, or is an adult looking to improve their own skills, you can find the right support.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life! You can find expert tutors for hundreds of other skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python or speaking a new language.
