Personalised Reading Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor takes the time to understand exactly how your child learns. They can pinpoint specific areas for improvement, whether it's decoding complex sentences or understanding subtext, and create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. It's why we're so selective, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform as a background-checked Tutorful tutor. Every online lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they need to get to grips with analysing poetry, the session will focus on that. If they're struggling with comprehension, their tutor will find texts that spark their interest and work at their pace. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, giving you peace of mind that they're making real progress. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect Reading expert for your child without ever leaving home.

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 the transition to Redborne Upper School. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping children make the leap to Upper School. They can focus on building the foundational reading and comprehension skills needed to tackle the more complex GCSE curriculum, ensuring your child feels confident and prepared from day one.
We're in Ampthill but are considering independent schools in Bedford. Can a tutor support this?
Yes. Our tutors can tailor their lessons to help your child meet the high academic standards of independent schools. They can work on advanced reading analysis and critical thinking skills to help your child feel ready for entrance exams or the challenging curriculum.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good fit before you book.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 tuition in Ampthill cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are DBS checked, and we personally interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in Reading?
Confidence often grows in a supportive, one-to-one environment. A tutor can go at your child's pace, celebrate small wins, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. This personalised attention helps them feel capable and more positive about the subject.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a space to upload documents. It's a live, one-to-one session, just like being in the same room.
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, it's completely flexible. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to decide on a frequency that works best for you.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, as this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if you need more flexibility.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can manage all your bookings directly from your Tutorful account.
