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.

Brilliant Reading tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for King Edward VI schools. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in preparing children for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and English sections. They can help your child get familiar with the format, build their vocabulary, and develop the comprehension skills needed to tackle the tests with confidence.
We live near Tudor Grange and Arden. Can a tutor help my child feel ready for a competitive comprehensive?
Yes. A tutor can be a fantastic support for building the strong, independent learning skills your child will need to thrive in a top comprehensive. By strengthening their core reading and comprehension abilities, a tutor helps ensure they start secondary school feeling capable and ready for the challenges ahead.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has a proven track record in the area you need help with, like 11+ preparation.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection 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 in Solihull?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices can vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online reading lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and drawing, and a space to share documents like practice papers or book extracts. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
My child has lost their confidence with reading. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor can help with. A great tutor provides patient, one-to-one encouragement in a safe space. By celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step, they can help your child rediscover their confidence and even a love for reading.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension?
A tutor can use specific techniques to help your child understand texts more deeply. This could involve teaching them how to identify the main idea, make inferences, understand the author's purpose, and analyse character motivations, all of which are key skills for school entrance exams and beyond.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some parents use tutors for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer weekly lessons throughout the school year to build skills steadily. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach your child practical and creative skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language.
What makes Tutorful different from other services?
We focus on finding the best tutors and making it easy for you to connect with them. With over 4,100 reviews rating us 4.6/5, parents trust us to provide high-quality, personalised support that helps their children succeed. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
