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 apply to the University of Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. A Reading tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills that are essential for competitive university courses. They can help them articulate complex ideas clearly, which is invaluable for personal statements and interviews.
Competition for schools like Beechen Cliff and King Edward's is high. Can a tutor help my child stand out?
Yes. One-to-one tutoring can focus on developing the sophisticated reading comprehension and inference skills needed to achieve the highest grades. A tutor can work with your child on exam technique and textual analysis, building the confidence they need to perform their best in a competitive environment.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What 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 do you make sure tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in good hands.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £50. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it can make a huge difference. The one-to-one attention in a supportive, pressure-free space helps children ask questions they might not in class. As they see themselves making progress, their self-belief and confidence grow.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions. You can discuss a plan with your chosen tutor, with the flexibility to change it at any time.
What age groups do your Reading tutors teach?
We have tutors who specialise in teaching Reading to all ages, from helping young children in Primary school build a love for books, to supporting students through their GCSEs, A-Levels, and even at degree level.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or speak a new language, we can help them find a passion.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message, and you could be having your first lesson within a day or two.
