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.

Brilliant Reading tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child will be starting at a Chippenham secondary school like Hardenhuish or Sheldon. Can a tutor help them feel prepared for the step up?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we work with. A tutor can help bridge the gap between primary and secondary school by building your child's reading stamina, introducing them to more complex texts, and boosting their confidence so they feel ready and excited for day one.
We're concerned about the upcoming KS2 Reading SATs. Can a tutor provide specific support for these tests?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced in helping children prepare for their SATs. They can work on specific areas like inference, retrieval, and vocabulary in a calm and encouraging way, helping your child feel less anxious and better equipped to show what they know.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Reading, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find experienced tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. Many parents send messages to a few tutors to discuss their child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How are your tutors vetted? Can I trust them?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must provide a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online Reading tutor 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 allows you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, making learning engaging and effective.
My child's confidence in reading is low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to work at their own pace, free from classroom pressure. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, they help rebuild self-esteem alongside academic skills.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's reading skills?
Every child learns differently, so progress varies. However, many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons are key to building momentum and achieving long-term goals.
Can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension across all their subjects?
Yes, definitely. The skills your child develops with a Reading tutor are transferable. They'll learn how to break down and understand complex texts, which will help them in everything from Science and History to Geography at GCSE level.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very flexible. You can arrange lesson times directly with your chosen tutor. Because it's all online, it's much easier to fit sessions around school, after-school clubs, and other family commitments, saving you from any extra travel.
