I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment.

That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

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
Are tutors familiar with the reading curriculum used in schools around Droylsden and Tameside?
Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are familiar with the National Curriculum. The great thing about one-to-one tuition is that you can chat with a tutor beforehand to explain what your child is working on at their school, and they can tailor their lessons to match it perfectly.
My child is preparing for secondary school entrance exams. Can I find a tutor who specialises in this?
Yes, absolutely. We have many tutors who specialise in preparing children for 11+ and other school entrance exams. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors with this specific experience and discuss your child's needs with them directly.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
Your peace of mind is our top priority. We have a 'First Lesson Guarantee' which means 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like music or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach your child skills like playing the guitar, coding in Python, learning a new language, or even public speaking.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
The best way is to look through the tutor profiles. You can read about their experience, see reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications. We recommend using our free messaging service to chat with a few tutors to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning style.
My child is quite shy. How can online tutoring help them build confidence?
Online tutoring can be fantastic for shy children. The one-to-one setting feels less intimidating than a busy classroom, allowing them to ask questions without feeling self-conscious. Our tutors are skilled at creating a friendly, encouraging space where your child can feel safe to learn at their own pace.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons actually work?
It's really simple. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and writing, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and easy for your child to use.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is everything to us. We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team, has their ID verified, and undergoes a background check.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. Often, the first sign of progress is seeing your child's confidence grow and their attitude towards reading improve.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and what works for your family. Most students have one lesson a week, but you can arrange more or less frequent sessions depending on your child's needs. You can discuss the ideal schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to install.
