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
My child is preparing for a competitive secondary school like Roundhay. Can a tutor help with the required reading level?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping children build the strong comprehension and analytical skills needed to transition confidently into demanding secondary school environments. They can focus on the specific types of texts and skills your child will need to succeed.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Chapeltown schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, many have extensive experience with the National Curriculum taught in English schools. When you search, you can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and qualifications, helping you find someone who understands the local educational landscape.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check qualifications on each tutor's profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the student-tutor relationship 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident about reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to make mistakes and ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges into manageable steps, which can transform how a child feels about their own abilities.
How much does online reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour, based on their experience and qualifications. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve working on phonics, reading a book together, practising comprehension strategies, or learning how to analyse a text. Tutors use our interactive online classroom with tools like a whiteboard to make learning engaging and effective.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're here to support academic success in subjects like Reading, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and verify their ID and qualifications, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what would work best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. Often, the first sign you'll notice is your child feeling happier and more confident in their schoolwork.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
