Why Strong Reading Skills are Key for the Kent Test and Beyond
Strong reading isn't just about passing an exam; it's the foundation for all future learning. For the 11+, this means moving beyond simply reading the words to understanding implied meanings, grasping challenging vocabulary, and forming clear arguments. These are the exact skills that will help your child thrive at a school like Queen Elizabeth's Grammar, and they are essential for success in their GCSEs, A-Levels, and whatever path they choose next.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare specifically for the Kent Test for Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They can focus on the key skills needed for the English and reasoning papers, from advanced comprehension and inference to vocabulary and exam technique.
Are your tutors familiar with the 11+ exam format?
Yes, you can find tutors who specialise in 11+ entrance exams. They understand the pressures of timed conditions and can work with your child on practice papers to build their confidence and speed, so they feel prepared on the day.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs for the Kent Test before booking a lesson.
My child gets anxious in exams. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the key benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor provides a calm, encouraging environment where your child can build confidence at their own pace. They can teach techniques for managing time and staying focused under pressure, which is a valuable life skill.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a good internet connection. Lessons happen in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We're proud of our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100+ reviews from parents like you.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs. You can find experienced tutors to suit a range of budgets.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are one hour long. Many parents find a weekly lesson is a great way to build momentum, especially in the run-up to an exam like the 11+. However, it's completely flexible and you can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, Tutorful is for all kinds of learning. You can find tutors for hobbies like learning the guitar or coding, as well as for personal development and professional skills.
How can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension specifically?
A tutor can break down complex texts with your child, teaching them how to identify key themes, understand an author's intent, and 'read between the lines' to make inferences. They use targeted exercises to strengthen these specific skills.
How quickly can we start lessons?
Very quickly. Many tutors can respond to messages within a day. You can discuss your child's needs, agree on a time, and often have your first lesson booked and ready to go within a few days.
