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 place at a Redbridge or Bexley grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ verbal reasoning?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific vocabulary and comprehension skills needed to feel confident tackling the verbal reasoning sections of the exam.
My child might go to Robert Clack School. Can tutoring now help them with their future GCSEs?
Yes, building strong reading skills now is a fantastic way to prepare for future success. A tutor can help your child develop the analytical and comprehension abilities they'll need for their English GCSEs and across all their subjects.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels, we also have tutors for hobbies and personal skills. So, whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience, particularly with 11+ preparation. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
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 family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every applicant. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in Reading?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can make a world of difference. By breaking down concepts into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild your child's self-belief and rediscover a love for reading.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some parents book a block of lessons to prepare for an exam like the 11+, while others prefer a regular weekly session to provide ongoing support. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, you can. After each lesson, tutors provide feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss how your child is getting on. It’s a partnership between you, your child, and their tutor.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
With over 4,100 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, we're a trusted choice for parents across the UK. We focus on matching your child with a tutor they'll connect with, because we know that's the key to building confidence and achieving great results.
