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 11+ for a King Edward VI school in Birmingham. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning sections common for Birmingham's grammar schools. You can read tutor profiles and message them directly to ask about their experience with the King Edward VI entrance exams before booking.
We live in Birmingham, but does the tutor have to be local?
No, and that's one of the great benefits of online tutoring! Your child can connect with the best Reading tutor for their needs, regardless of where they are in the UK. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, including those with extensive 11+ experience, than if you were limited to just the Birmingham area.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from primary level through to GCSEs, A-Levels and degree study, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
How do I choose the best Reading tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, for example, those who specialise in 11+ preparation. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson. It’s all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How much do online Reading tutors 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 transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in their reading?
A one-to-one tutor can make a huge difference. They create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child’s self-esteem and rediscover a love for learning.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you have access to trusted, high-quality educators.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has features like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Many parents find a weekly session is perfect for building momentum and confidence, especially when preparing for an exam like the 11+. You can discuss a suitable schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable improvement not just in their child's grades—90% of our students improve by at least one grade—but also in their overall confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
