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 aiming for a school like JAGS or Alleyn's. Can a tutor help with the 11+ reading exam?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in preparing children for 7+ and 11+ entrance exams for specific London schools. They can focus on the exact skills needed, from advanced comprehension and inference to vocabulary building, helping your child feel confident and prepared.
My child is at a Clapham primary, and the pressure is already on. How can a tutor help at this early stage?
We understand the pressure for school places in areas like Clapham. An early-stage Reading tutor can make learning fun and build a strong, positive foundation. They focus on fostering a love for reading, which is the best way to develop the natural confidence and comprehension skills needed for future tests, without the stress.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
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. We recommend looking for someone whose teaching style and experience match your child's needs and personality. You can even message them before booking to make sure it's a good fit.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like Reading and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can tutoring help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. When a child has a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace, they start to see that they *can* understand tricky topics. This success builds their self-esteem, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually a good amount of time to cover a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your family.
How many students have used Tutorful?
You're in good company! We've helped over 200,000 students find the right support. Our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families find that one session a week works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently by simply agreeing on a schedule with your tutor.
