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
My child is hoping to attend Cornwall College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students build the core reading and comprehension skills needed to succeed on further education courses. They can tailor sessions to ensure your child feels confident and ready for the next step after their GCSEs.
We live in St Austell. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers the best of both worlds! You get access to the UK's top Reading tutors, not just those who live locally. Your child can learn from home, fitting lessons easily around school life at places like Penrice Academy or Poltair School, without any travel time.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free chat beforehand, which is a great way to discuss your child's needs and see if they are a good fit before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first 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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and celebrates their small wins, it can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
Lessons are interactive and engaging! Tutors use our online classroom, which has features like a digital whiteboard, to work through texts, practice comprehension techniques, and build vocabulary. Each session is planned around your child's specific goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also believe in learning for life! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most parents find that one session per week is a great starting point, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their tutor. There's no minimum commitment.
How can I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
