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 easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does online Reading tutoring 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 great tutor who fits your needs. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
Can I find a tutor familiar with the curriculum used in Blackwood schools?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the curriculum in Wales. You can check their profiles for details and message them directly to ask about their specific experience with local school requirements.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in reading?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to practise reading aloud and ask questions without fear of being judged by their classmates. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
My child is preparing for the transition to secondary school in the Caerphilly area. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a common reason parents seek a tutor. A Reading tutor can help build the comprehension and analytical skills your child will need for the step up to secondary school, ensuring they feel prepared and confident from day one.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding, or pick up a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress. It provides consistency without being overwhelming. You can always arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's simple. We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
