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
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, check reviews from other parents, and watch introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your child's needs before booking to make sure you've found the perfect match.
My child attends Weydon School. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the national curriculum and specific exam boards. When you message a tutor, you can mention your child's school and what they're currently working on. They can then plan lessons that directly support their schoolwork and build on what they're learning in class.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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.
How much does online reading tutoring cost in Farnham?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from £15. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget.
We're considering Farnham College for my child. Can a tutor help them prepare for A-Levels?
Yes, definitely. We have many specialist A-Level tutors who can help your child develop the advanced reading comprehension and analytical skills needed for college. They can work on everything from essay writing to understanding complex academic texts, giving your child a confident start to their further education.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and a space to upload documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
My child has lost their confidence with reading. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can really shine. A tutor provides a patient and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. By celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step, they can help your child rediscover their confidence and even a love for reading.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Is Tutorful just for core school subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding, practice a new language, or even learn to draw. It's about changing lives through learning, whatever that learning might be.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions depending on the subject and your child's age.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable improvement not just in their child's grades, but in their overall confidence at school.
What age groups do you find reading tutors for?
We have tutors who specialise in teaching all age groups, from helping young children with their first phonics at Primary School, right through to preparing for the 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels. Whatever stage your child is at, we can help you find the right support.
