As a Y6 teacher, my students' end of year results regularly showed accelerated progress in English, Maths and SPAG. Five years ago, I moved to online teaching, focusing on preparing students for SATs and Common Entrance exams (11+ and 13+) and teaching groups of students on the National Tutoring Programme. I now divide my time between 121 English tutoring in a secondary school and online KS2/3 English and KS2 maths tuition.My English classes are geared towards encouraging...

Joanne W
So far so good, Joanne is amazing, such a kind nature, she has a fantastic way to get my son to concentrate during his time learning, which is something that he struggled with.
Joanne is patient with him, she’s boosts the confidence and tells him when he’s done well.
She truly is wonderful

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 the David Nieper Academy. Can a tutor help them prepare for their GCSEs?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can work with your child on the specific reading and comprehension skills needed for their exams, helping them build the confidence to aim for the best possible grades.
We're hoping our child will go to college in Chesterfield or Derby. Can a tutor support this goal?
Yes. A tutor can help strengthen the core reading and analytical skills that colleges look for. By building a solid foundation now, your child will be in a much stronger position when it comes to applying for competitive courses later on.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. It's also a great idea to message a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session.
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're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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 much does online Reading tutoring cost in Alfreton?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with reading confidence?
A great tutor creates a safe and positive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see that they *can* succeed, which is a huge confidence booster.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to mastering a new language.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Many parents find a regular weekly slot works best to build momentum and confidence.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days, so you can get the support your child needs without a long wait.
Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. We operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can book as many or as few lessons as you need, giving you complete flexibility to fit tutoring around your family's life.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
