Why Strong Reading Skills are Key for Their Future in Cornwall
Reading isn't just about passing English; it's the foundation for every single subject. Strong comprehension is vital for understanding a tricky Maths problem, analysing sources in History, or following a method in Science. Building these skills now is the key to unlocking better GCSE grades, which in turn opens the door to A-Level studies and a potential place at brilliant local institutions like Falmouth University or the University of Exeter's Penryn campus.

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 concerned about the step-up to GCSEs at schools like Falmouth School. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and our tutors are brilliant at helping manage that transition. They can work with your child to break down complex texts, improve their essay writing, and build the analytical skills needed for the demanding GCSE curriculum, giving them the confidence to tackle it head-on.
My child hopes to study at Falmouth University one day. Can a tutor help prepare them?
Absolutely. A strong foundation in reading comprehension and critical analysis is essential for university-level study. A tutor can help your child develop these advanced skills, giving them a real advantage when it's time to apply and prepare for their degree.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – are they quiet and in need of gentle encouragement, or do they thrive with a more energetic approach? Finding the right match is key.
How much do online reading tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find an option that fits your family's budget. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, there are no other students, so your child is free to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help transform their relationship with reading from a source of anxiety to one of enjoyment.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 long does it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What age groups do your reading tutors teach?
Our tutors support learners of all ages, from primary school children just starting their reading journey to A-Level students analysing complex texts, and even adult learners. You can filter your search to find a tutor with experience in your child's specific age group.
Can tutoring fit around our busy family schedule?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can find tutors who offer sessions in the evenings or on weekends, fitting lessons in around school, clubs, and family life without the need for extra travel.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts across the school curriculum, we also have talented tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, such as playing the guitar, coding in Python, or learning a new language.
