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 Richard Lander School. Can a tutor help them build the reading skills they'll need?
Absolutely. A tutor can help strengthen the core reading comprehension and analysis skills your child will need to access the full secondary curriculum. By building a solid foundation now, they'll feel more prepared and confident as they transition to a new school.
We're aiming for strong GCSEs for a place at Truro and Penwith College. How can a Reading tutor help?
Strong reading ability is critical for success across all GCSE subjects. A tutor can help your child develop the skills to understand and analyse complex texts, which is vital for exams in English, History, and even the sciences. This support can help improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before booking. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to ensure they are the perfect fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost in Truro?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in Reading?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult concepts, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child's needs, helping them feel capable and much more positive about their reading ability.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has been through a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to join Tutorful.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together effectively.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works well, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's routine.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Reading, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Your child could learn anything from coding or playing the guitar to a new language. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development too.
What ages do you provide Reading tutors for?
We have tutors who specialise in supporting learners of all ages, from primary school children just starting their reading journey, through to GCSE and A-Level students, and even adult learners. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's age group.
