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 aiming for a competitive sixth form in Brighton. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for entry?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students build the core literacy, critical thinking, and comprehension skills needed to perform well in entrance exams and interviews for competitive schools and colleges in and around Brighton.
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 message tutors for free before booking. This helps you get a real sense of their approach before committing to a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 much does a Reading tutor in Brighton 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.
How can a tutor help my child with reading confidence?
A great tutor creates a positive and patient learning environment where it's okay to make mistakes. By breaking down difficult topics into smaller, manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
We live near Brighton. Can an online tutor still help my child feel connected?
Definitely. Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging, with features like a shared whiteboard and file sharing. Tutors are skilled at building rapport online, creating a learning experience that feels just as personal and connected as being in the same room.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which allows your child and their tutor to talk, share resources, and work together in real-time.
Can a tutor help with specific areas like phonics or comprehension?
Yes. The benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's completely tailored. Whether your child is just starting with phonics or needs to develop advanced comprehension skills for their GCSEs, you can find a specialist tutor with the right experience to help them.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something new?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also believe in learning for fun and personal development. You can find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us they see a change not just in their child's grades, but in their enthusiasm for learning.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
