Why Strong Reading is the Key to Your Child's Future Success
Strong reading comprehension is the foundation of all learning. It’s not just about enjoying a book; it’s about being able to understand a science textbook, analyse a source in a history essay, or even tackle a complex word problem in a Maths exam. These skills are essential for achieving a strong set of GCSEs, which in turn opens doors to A-level places and competitive universities like Bristol or Bath. With the right support, your child can develop the skills they need to succeed across all their subjects.

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.

asked questions

My child attends Clevedon School. Can a tutor help them keep up with the demanding reading load?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students with challenging secondary school curriculums. They can help your child develop strategies for managing heavy reading lists, improve their comprehension speed, and build the confidence to tackle any text thrown their way.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Bristol. How can a Reading tutor help with that long-term goal?
Strong reading and analytical skills are fundamental for A-levels and university study. A tutor can help your child build these foundational skills early on, ensuring they not only achieve the GCSEs they need but also develop the critical thinking abilities required for higher education and a successful application.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £45 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
