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 at The King Alfred School Academy. Can a tutor help them with the specific curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students within the national curriculum frameworks used by schools like The King Alfred School Academy. During your first chat, you can discuss your child's specific needs and what they're currently studying, so the tutor can tailor their approach.
We're thinking ahead to Bridgwater & Taunton College. Can tutoring help prepare my child for further education?
Definitely. Strong reading and analytical skills are essential for success at college. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and comprehension abilities they'll need to confidently tackle A-Levels or vocational courses, making them a stronger applicant.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 online Reading tutors in Burnham-on-Sea cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview, provide professional references, and undergo a background check before they can join our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child feel understood and capable. As they start to see progress in a subject they once found difficult, their self-esteem and confidence often grow significantly.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what would work best with your chosen tutor based on your child's goals and your family's schedule.
What if my child has a specific learning need, like dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with specific learning needs. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this expertise, and it's always a good idea to message them directly to discuss your child's requirements.
Is this just for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from primary school through to university, we also have tutors for hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.
How long are the lessons?
The standard lesson length is one hour. We find this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can, of course, arrange shorter or longer sessions if you discuss it with your tutor.
