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.

Brilliant Reading tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're preparing for the Worcestershire 11+ exam. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many tutors on our platform have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and English components specific to the Worcestershire system. You can check their profiles for this experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
My child is at a comprehensive in Droitwich. Can a tutor help them aim for the top sets?
Definitely. A tutor can provide brilliant support to help your child keep pace and excel in their class. By working on their reading comprehension and confidence, a tutor can help them fully grasp the material, contribute more in lessons, and feel prepared to achieve their best, which is often key to securing a place in higher sets.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
The best way is to look through the profiles of our tutors. You can see their experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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.
How much do online Reading tutors cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor who also fits within your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn face-to-face with their tutor from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of asking a 'silly' question. Tutors create a patient, supportive environment where your child can work at their own pace, celebrate small wins, and build a real belief in their own abilities.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point. This provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child enjoy reading more, not just for exams?
Yes, this is one of the wonderful benefits of one-to-one support. A tutor can help your child discover books and authors they genuinely love, turning reading from a chore into a pleasure. This can have a positive impact on their learning for years to come.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised attention from a tutor often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It's for both! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects. So, whether your child needs help with their GCSEs, wants to learn to code in Python, or is dreaming of playing the guitar, you can find the right tutor to support their goals on Tutorful.
