Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...
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.

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.

Brilliant Reading tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for schools near Bingley. Can a tutor help with the verbal reasoning and comprehension parts?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in preparing children for the 11+ exam. They can focus specifically on the verbal reasoning and reading comprehension skills your child needs, building their confidence and vocabulary in a supportive way.
We're aiming for a place in a top set at a school like Bingley Grammar. How can a reading tutor support this?
A reading tutor can be a great help. They can work with your child to deepen their understanding of texts, improve their analytical skills, and broaden their vocabulary. This not only helps with schoolwork but also builds the confidence they need to excel in a more challenging academic environment.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to see who feels like the best match for their personality and learning style.
My child's confidence in reading is low. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A great tutor creates a safe, positive space where your child won't feel afraid to make mistakes. By going at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild that confidence and help them discover a genuine enjoyment for reading.
How much does online reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have a 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.
Are the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is a great rhythm for making consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you feel your child needs them, whether that's a one-off session before a test or regular weekly support.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide feedback after each session to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Often, the first sign you'll see is a welcome boost in your child's confidence and enthusiasm for their schoolwork.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents tell us they love the convenience and the quality of our tutors. Because we're not limited by location, you can find the perfect specialist for your child, no matter where you live.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach everything from coding and music to languages and art. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and personal development too.
