Personalised Reading Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection with your child, understanding how they learn best. We take this seriously, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. They are all background-checked experts who can spot exactly where your child needs help, whether it's with inference, vocabulary, or simply building reading stamina. Every lesson is built around your child's specific goals. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, their tutor will create sessions that target the areas they find tricky. This could mean working through 11+ practice papers at a comfortable pace or finding new ways to make vocabulary practice engaging. It’s a focused approach that works – 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect Reading specialist for your child without ever leaving home. There's no need to travel or juggle schedules. You can arrange lessons for times that suit your family, making it easy to fit truly effective, one-to-one support into your busy life. It's simple, flexible, and designed to help your child succeed.

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
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Kent Test for grammar schools. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Crowborough seek our support. Our experienced tutors can help your child build the specific reading comprehension, vocabulary, and reasoning skills needed for the 11+ English paper, working at a pace that builds confidence without adding pressure.
My child is in Year 5 in Crowborough. Is it too late to start preparing for the 11+?
Not at all. Many parents start tuition in Year 5. A tutor can quickly assess your child's current reading level and create a focused plan to address any gaps, helping them feel prepared and confident in time for the exam.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors mention their specialisms, such as 11+ preparation. We recommend watching their introductory videos and messaging a few to find the perfect fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if we don't click with the first Reading tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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 cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has undergone a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants to ensure your child learns from the best.
How can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension specifically?
A tutor can use targeted techniques to help your child read between the lines. They'll work on skills like identifying the main idea, understanding inference, and analysing the author's language. They use practice texts and questions to build these skills in a supportive, one-to-one environment.
How do online lessons actually 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. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, coding, or a new language, we can help them explore their passions.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
