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.

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 the 11+ for schools like Dr Challoner's. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ Secondary Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for details on their expertise with grammar school entrance exams and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How can an online tutor help my child with the Verbal Reasoning part of the 11+?
A dedicated tutor can make a huge difference. They can create targeted lessons to expand your child's vocabulary, improve their reading speed, and teach them specific techniques for tackling different types of comprehension questions. This focused, one-to-one support is ideal for building the skills and confidence needed for the exam.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles. You can see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction video to get a feel for their personality and messaging a few to find the perfect fit for your child.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do your online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an important exam, for example.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
It absolutely can. When a child starts to understand a topic they previously found difficult, their self-esteem grows. The one-to-one encouragement from a tutor who is dedicated to their success can have a wonderfully positive impact on their confidence in and out of the classroom.
How do I know my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. Because the lessons are one-to-one, the tutor gets a clear picture of your child's strengths and the areas they need to work on, and can share these insights with you.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find brilliant, passionate tutors to help them explore their interests.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule lessons with your tutor, but please be aware of our 24-hour cancellation policy, which you can discuss with your tutor.
