Adora P
Reading English, Science, Phonics, SATs
Hi! I’m a fully qualified UK primary teacher with over five years of classroom experience, and I now specialise in 1:1 tutoring for children aged 5–11. I’ve taught every year group from Reception to Year 6 and have helped many children grow in confidence — especially in phonics, maths, reading and SATs preparation.I started tutoring because I’ve seen first-hand how personalised support can unlock a child’s potential. I remember one Year 3 pupil who struggled with writing; by breaking tasks into small steps, using visuals and positive reinforcement, she went from reluctant writer to story-lovin...

So far so good, Joanne is amazing, such a kind nature, she has a fantastic way to get my son to concentrate during his time learning, which is something that he struggled with.
Joanne is patient with him, she’s boosts the confidence and tells him when he’s done well.

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 competitive school like the London Academy of Excellence (LAE). Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for entrance to academically demanding schools. They can help build the strong reading comprehension and analytical skills your child will need to access a challenging GCSE curriculum and thrive in that environment.
My child hopes to go to a London university like Queen Mary or UCL. Can tutoring support that long-term goal?
Yes. Strong reading and critical thinking skills are fundamental for university-level study. By building a solid foundation now, a tutor can help your child develop the confidence and academic habits that will support them right through their GCSEs, A-Levels, and into higher education.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, read reviews from other parents, and even watch short intro videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before booking your first session.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience, which is 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 does an online Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually 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 tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor must have a valid DBS check. We also interview every tutor and are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult concepts and celebrate small wins, which builds self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic areas from primary to university level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach your child practical skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language.
What reading levels do your tutors cover?
Our tutors cover all levels, from helping young children with their first steps in phonics and early reading, through to supporting GCSE and A-Level students with detailed text analysis. You can find a tutor with the right experience for your child's specific age and stage.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at a different pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor. They will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is getting on, what they've been covering in lessons, and the progress they are making towards their goals.
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.
