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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're concerned about the standards at selective schools in the Wirral and Chester. Can a Reading tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. Many parents share your concern. Our tutors can create a tailored plan to strengthen your child's core reading comprehension, analysis, and inference skills, ensuring they have the confidence and ability to tackle complex texts and keep pace with high academic expectations.
My child is finding the leap from primary to secondary school in Ellesmere Port challenging. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common challenge. A tutor can provide focused support to bridge that gap. They can work with your child on the specific types of texts and analytical skills required in Year 7 and beyond, building their confidence and making the transition much smoother.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much do online Reading tutors in Ellesmere Port cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £35 per hour. You can filter by price on the search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How are the tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety very seriously. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check, professional references, and undergo an interview. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in their reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, there are no 'silly questions'. A tutor creates a safe space for your child to work at their own pace, celebrate small wins, and build a genuine belief in their own abilities.

Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills and hobbies beyond the school curriculum! From learning Python, Spanish, or the piano to preparing for music grade exams, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their passions.
Are the lessons flexible?
Yes, completely. You're not tied into any contracts. You can schedule lessons week by week or book a block with your chosen tutor – whatever works best for your family's schedule.
Can tutoring help if my child has Special Educational Needs (SEN)?
Many of our tutors have specific experience and qualifications in supporting students with SEN. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this expertise and message them to discuss your child's specific requirements.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
