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 preparing for the Buckinghamshire 11+. Can I find a Reading tutor familiar with the test format?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are very familiar with the demands of the Buckinghamshire test, including the crucial verbal reasoning component. You can check tutor profiles for their specific experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.
We're hoping for a place at Dr Challoner's or Chesham Grammar. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. We have many tutors with experience helping children work towards specific grammar school entrance exams. They can tailor lessons to build the exact reading comprehension and vocabulary skills needed to give your child the best possible chance of securing a place.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few to find someone you and your child feel comfortable with.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from experienced, high-quality educators.
What happens if we don't click 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 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 in Chesham cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in reading is low?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the boost in confidence it gives a child. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace, helping them feel much more positive about their abilities.
How often should my child have a Reading lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what would be most effective with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academic subjects like Reading, Maths and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from playing the guitar and learning to code to speaking a new language.
How quickly can my child start their first lesson?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a time that works for you. Many tutors have availability within a few days, so your child can begin learning right away.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's incredibly effective. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The focused, one-to-one attention in an online setting means lessons are perfectly tailored to your child's needs, helping them make progress much faster than in a busy classroom.
