Carole G
Professional Reading tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at Elfed High School. Can a tutor help with the Welsh Baccalaureate?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in the specific requirements of the Welsh curriculum, including the Welsh Baccalaureate. They can help your child develop the critical reading and analytical skills needed to succeed.

We’re thinking about A-Levels at Coleg Cambria. Can a tutor prepare my child for that step up?

Yes. A reading tutor can be a great help in bridging the gap between GCSE and A-Level study. They can work with your child on the more advanced and complex texts they'll encounter, building their confidence and analytical skills early on.

How do I find the right reading tutor for my child?

You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience for your child's age and level. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to find the perfect fit. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.

How can a tutor help my child's confidence?

Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. In a one-to-one setting, a tutor can patiently work through these areas without the pressure of a classroom. Every small win builds your child's self-belief, which can have a positive impact across all their subjects.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been interviewed, reference-checked, and have had their ID and qualifications verified. We also require tutors to have an up-to-date DBS check or equivalent.

What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our 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 much do reading tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who also fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

It's for much more than just school subjects! We have expert tutors who can help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, master a new language, or even learn practical skills like coding.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for making steady progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each session, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.

What if we need to reschedule a lesson?

That's no problem. We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
