Spiwe M
Reading Tutor - Before you learn anything else, you have to be able to read.
I am a subtitler with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and linguistics, with a passion for books and reading. I firmly believe that language and literacy skills are integral to every aspect of life and my love of this topic was only further enhanced by my high school English teacher. Through tutoring, I hope to pass on-or share with others-the same love and appreciation for written matter that my teacher so effectively fostered in me. Having already successfully guided a number of my students to outstanding improvements in their academic careers, few things bring me greater joy than s...

Alexandra J
Patient Reading tutor
I am originally from Toronto, Canada but now work as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh.My style of teaching is flexible in that it would be planned based on the needs of the student and ultimately my lessons would be student-led. Thus, while I would make a lesson plan, it would be amenable to change based on the needs and requests of the student. I am calm, patient and encouraging in my approach to teaching, so am happy to go at whatever pace best suits the student. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of teaching varying levels of academic writing reading from primary school ...

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
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding a great match for your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. This helps you get a feel for their approach and find someone your child will look forward to learning with.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost in Arbroath?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child attends Arbroath High School. Can a tutor support their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the Scottish curriculum, including the National 5 and Higher qualifications. You can discuss your child's specific schoolwork with a tutor to ensure the lessons are perfectly aligned with what they're learning in class.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right fit is crucial. 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 do online lessons work?
They take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and must pass an interview with our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
We're thinking about future options at Dundee and Angus College. Can a tutor help my child prepare?
Yes, a tutor can be a great help with that. They can work with your child to strengthen the core reading and comprehension skills needed for further education courses, building their confidence for the next step in their learning journey.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult topics into smaller, manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way and helping your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn something new like playing the guitar?
We believe learning is for life! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills like playing the guitar, coding, learning a new language, or even public speaking.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great rhythm for steady progress. It allows enough time to build on what was learned in the previous session. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You'll also see it in your child's growing confidence, their improved understanding, and their school results. Open communication with your tutor is key, and they'll be happy to discuss your child's progress with you.
