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
My child is preparing for the transition to a local secondary school in Dinnington. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. A reading tutor can help bridge the gap between Year 6 and Year 7, solidifying your child's comprehension and analysis skills so they feel confident and prepared for the challenges of the secondary school curriculum from day one.
We're hoping our child will eventually go to college in Rotherham or Sheffield. How can reading tuition now help?
Strong reading ability is the foundation for good grades across all subjects. By helping your child become a more confident and capable reader now, you're setting them up for better GCSE results in the future, which is a key factor for applications to popular colleges in Rotherham, Sheffield, and beyond.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check qualifications on each tutor's profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in reading?
Yes. A private tutor provides a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace, away from the pressure of the classroom. This one-to-one attention is often the key to rebuilding lost confidence and helping them rediscover a love for reading.
How much does online reading tuition cost in Dinnington?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £15 per hour. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple, effective, and engaging way to learn from the comfort of your home.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a rigorous selection process. We interview every applicant, verify their ID, and require them to have an up-to-date DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from primary level through to university, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak a new language, or even learn to code.
How often should my child have a reading lesson?
This is completely up to you and what works best for your child. Most families find that a regular weekly lesson helps build momentum and ensures consistent progress, but you can schedule lessons as frequently as you need.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You'll be able to see it in a few ways. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on their progress, but you'll also notice your child's confidence growing. This often translates into better engagement at school and improved results in their schoolwork.
What equipment does my child need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to download as everything runs in your web browser.
