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 the right fit 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.
My child is at a school in Berkhamsted. Can a tutor help with their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with specific school curricula. You can discuss your child's schoolwork and any particular challenges with a tutor to ensure lessons are perfectly aligned with what they're learning in class.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find a tutor that works for your family. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and rediscover a love for learning.

While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like Reading, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even speaking a new language, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long will my child need a Reading tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your tutor, who will help you create a plan that works for your child.
