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 attends a school in Frome. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are familiar with the curricula used in schools across Somerset. You can chat with potential tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific schoolwork and learning goals to ensure a perfect match.
We live near Frome and are preparing for secondary school entrance exams. Can we find a tutor with experience in that?
Yes, you can. We have many tutors who specialise in exam preparation, including the 11+ and entrance exams for local independent schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this specific experience.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and information about their experience. We recommend watching a few videos with your child to see who they connect with. You can also message tutors for free to ask any questions before you book.
What happens if we don't click with the first Reading tutor we try?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does a private Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
Confidence is key! A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child see that they *can* succeed, which makes a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, making learning from home easy and effective.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, we have expert tutors ready to help your child explore their passions.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's age and concentration span.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week provides the perfect consistency for steady progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during school holidays or exam periods, or less frequent top-up sessions as needed.
