Online Reading Tutors in Chorlton to Build Your Child's Confidence
It's completely natural to feel the pressure from the fantastic grammar schools nearby. You want the very best for your child, but the 11+ can feel like a huge hurdle, and you worry that if their reading skills aren't strong enough, it might close doors to places like Stretford Grammar or even the University of Manchester later on.
You're not alone in feeling this way. Finding the right support can make all the difference, helping your child not just prepare for exams, but build a genuine confidence in their reading that will stay with them for life. A one-to-one reading tutor can be the partner you need to help them thrive.

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
We're aiming for a Trafford grammar school like Stretford or Altrincham. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in preparing children for the 11+ exam. They can help build the specific reading comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning skills needed to tackle the entrance papers with confidence.
Can a Reading tutor help my child build the skills needed for a top university like the University of Manchester?
Yes, the foundational skills a tutor helps with now are crucial for university. Strong reading comprehension, critical analysis, and the ability to understand complex texts are exactly what top universities look for in students.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If it’s not the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee has you covered. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence in reading is low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a positive and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. Celebrating small wins helps build their self-esteem and a love for learning.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they are all background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much do online Reading tutors in Chorlton cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from £15 an hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work? What 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 online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat to make learning engaging and effective.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals. Seeing their confidence grow is often the first and most important sign.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange what works for you and your child with your tutor.
What specific reading skills can a tutor help with?
Tutors can help with a whole range of skills, from phonics and fluency for younger readers to comprehension, vocabulary building, analysing texts, and understanding different genres for older children preparing for exams like the 11+ or GCSEs.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else, like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and a wide range of hobbies and professional skills.
