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.

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're worried about our child keeping up at schools like de Stafford or Oxted. How can a tutor help?
A tutor provides personalised support that reinforces what your child is learning in a busy classroom. They can take the time to go over topics your child finds tricky, plug any knowledge gaps, and build their confidence so they feel ready and able to contribute in class.
My child may sit entrance exams for a competitive school like Caterham School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for entrance exams. They can help your child build the strong foundational reading and comprehension skills needed to feel confident and perform at their best in a demanding academic environment.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to ask about their experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the one whose personality and teaching style is the perfect match for your child.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 in Caterham?
The cost of a tutor varies depending on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget.
Are all tutors background-checked?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check and identity verification before they can teach on our platform.
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 way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child to actually enjoy reading?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about! A great tutor can connect with your child's interests, finding books and texts that excite them and turning reading from a chore into a genuine pleasure.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one attention from a tutor often leads to progress quite quickly. Consistent lessons help build momentum and confidence, which are key to improving their skills.
My child is preparing for their GCSEs. Can a tutor help with text analysis?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students break down complex GCSE texts, from Shakespeare plays to modern poetry. They can help your child understand literary devices, structure essays, and analyse quotes effectively to secure the best possible marks.
