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 will be going to Dronfield Henry Fanshawe. Can a tutor help them feel ready for Year 7 English?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we help. A tutor can work with your child to strengthen their reading comprehension and analysis skills, ensuring they feel confident and prepared for the step up to secondary school English.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive sixth form in Sheffield. How can a reading tutor help my child get the necessary GCSE grades?
Strong reading skills are crucial for achieving top GCSE grades across many subjects. A tutor can help your child master the ability to understand, analyse and interpret complex texts, which is a vital skill for hitting the highest mark bands in exams like English, History, and even the sciences.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Plus, you can send messages to tutors before booking to make sure they're the perfect match.
How much does online reading tutoring cost in Dronfield?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child to actually enjoy reading?
Yes, this is one of the most wonderful outcomes of tutoring. By finding texts that spark your child's interest and helping them feel more capable, a great tutor can transform reading from a chore into a genuine pleasure.
How long will it be before we see an improvement in our child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one attention from a private tutor means they can make progress much faster than in a busy classroom. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What age groups do your reading tutors work with?
We have tutors who specialise in teaching children of all ages, from building foundational phonics skills in Key Stage 1, right through to preparing for GCSE and A-Level English Literature.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Reading?
Not at all. While we have experts across the school curriculum, we also have talented tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, from playing the guitar and singing to coding in Python.
My child struggles with reading comprehension. How can a tutor help?
Our tutors use proven techniques to help children break down texts, identify key information, and understand deeper meanings. They can work on specific skills like inference, summarising, and analysing language in a patient, supportive way that builds confidence.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
