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 preparing for KS2 SATs and we're mindful of schools like Newcastle-under-Lyme School (NULS). Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many parents in Newcastle-under-Lyme seek support for this exact reason. A Reading tutor can work with your child to strengthen their comprehension, vocabulary, and inference skills, building a solid foundation not just for their SATs but for the academic demands of secondary school.
Can a reading tutor help my teenager build skills for A-Levels and a competitive university like Keele?
Yes. Strong reading comprehension is vital for A-Levels and university study. A tutor can help your child develop advanced skills in critical analysis, understanding complex academic texts, and articulating arguments clearly – all of which are essential for a successful application and degree-level work.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
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. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can talk to them about your child's needs before booking a lesson.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass an ID and background check before they can join our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
One-to-one attention in a safe, encouraging space makes a huge difference. A tutor can break down difficult concepts, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child's personality, helping them see that they are capable of making real progress.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Reading?
While we cover all core subjects for exams like the 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. You can find experts in everything from learning to play the guitar to coding in Python.
What age groups can you help with Reading?
We have tutors who specialise in all age groups, from building foundational phonics skills in Key Stage 1, right through to preparing for GCSE and A-Level English Literature exams. You can filter your search by level to find the right expert for your child.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed to help them make progress quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
Can tutoring fit around our family's busy schedule?
Definitely. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends, to fit around school and other commitments.
