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
We live in broomhall and are worried about the 11+ for schools like Reading School. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors have specific experience with the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning and English comprehension sections. They can help your child get familiar with the format and build the core skills and confidence needed to perform at their best on the day.
My child isn't aiming for a grammar school. Can a tutor still help them prepare for secondary school?
Yes, of course. Our main goal is to build your child's confidence and skills for the long term. A tutor can help strengthen their reading comprehension and analytical skills, which is fantastic preparation for the step up to any secondary school, ensuring they start Year 7 feeling capable and ready to learn.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way to make sure they're the right fit for your child before booking a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection 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 do online Reading tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their learning.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have fantastic tutors for hobbies and skills like learning an instrument, coding, or even public speaking. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever that may be.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you stay informed about your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss their goals. The best sign, however, is often seeing your child grow in confidence and start to enjoy a subject they once found tricky.
What age groups do you cater for?
We have tutors who specialise in all age groups, from primary school children learning to read right through to students preparing for their GCSEs, A-Levels, and even university-level degrees. You can filter your search by level to find the right tutor for your child's age.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English as well as general reading skills?
Yes, many of our Reading tutors are also specialists in GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child with everything from analysing set texts like 'An Inspector Calls' to improving their essay writing and unseen poetry skills, helping them secure those crucial grades.
