Spiwe M
Reading Tutor - Before you learn anything else, you have to be able to read.
I am a subtitler with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and linguistics, with a passion for books and reading. I firmly believe that language and literacy skills are integral to every aspect of life and my love of this topic was only further enhanced by my high school English teacher. Through tutoring, I hope to pass on-or share with others-the same love and appreciation for written matter that my teacher so effectively fostered in me. Having already successfully guided a number of my students to outstanding improvements in their academic careers, few things bring me greater joy than s...

Charlotte S
Friendly Reading Tutor
With over 10 years of teaching experience and 5 years of online tutoring, I’ve supported children from Reception to Year 6, helping them grow in confidence and enjoy learning. I use a student-centred, supportive teaching style, tailoring every lesson to each child’s needs, strengths and pace. No two learners are the same — and I love adapting my approach to make learning meaningful and engaging.One of the biggest reasons I love tutoring is the individual attention it allows. I get to slow down, focus entirely on one child, and celebrate every bit of progress with them. Seeing a concept “click” or watchi...

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 is at Park Mains High School. Can a tutor help them with the specific 'Close Reading' part of their National 5 or Higher English course?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum and have extensive experience helping students with the specific demands of National 5 and Higher English, including 'Close Reading'. They can work through past papers and teach your child effective techniques for analysis.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a reading tutor help prepare my child?
Yes. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills that top universities like Glasgow and Strathclyde look for. They'll work on building a deeper level of comprehension that goes beyond the school curriculum, preparing them for the demands of university-level study.
How do I find the right reading tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in a specific area, like the Scottish Highers. You can read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. We also recommend sending a message to a few tutors to find the best fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first reading tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks, see their own progress, and start to feel much more capable and confident in their abilities.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check (or the Scottish equivalent, a PVG scheme record) before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together in real-time. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a reading lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at a frequency that suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat about what they're studying in school. They could then spend time analysing a specific poem, breaking down a difficult passage from a novel, or practising essay-writing techniques on the interactive whiteboard.
Can tutoring really help my child improve their grades?
Yes, it can make a real difference. The personalised attention helps your child tackle the exact topics they find difficult, which is often the key to unlocking better grades. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from primary school right through to university, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we can help you find an expert tutor.
