Why Strong Reading Skills are Key to Your Child's Future
Confident reading isn't just about enjoying a book; it's the foundation for almost every other subject. From understanding complex science textbooks to analysing quotes from a character in *Macbeth* for English GCSE, strong reading skills open up your child's world. This ability to understand and question what they read is a skill that will support them through their exams, into college or university, and throughout their future career.

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 starting at Felixstowe School soon. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping children transition to secondary school. They can work with your child to strengthen their reading comprehension and analysis skills, ensuring they feel prepared and confident for the demands of the Year 7 curriculum.
We're worried that weak reading skills now will limit my child's GCSE choices later. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and you're right to think ahead. A tutor can address any foundational gaps in your child's reading now, which builds a strong base for all subjects. By improving their ability to understand and interpret texts, you're giving them the best possible chance to succeed across the board and keep their options open for GCSEs.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How much does online Reading tuition cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own prices, which you can see clearly on their profiles. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. A tutor can create a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions without any fear of getting it 'wrong'. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point. It provides consistency without being overwhelming. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor, as they can recommend a frequency based on your goals.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The key is consistent, personalised support that targets the specific areas where your child needs help.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic support for things like the 11+, GCSEs or A-Levels, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even pick up a new hobby like playing the guitar or chess.
What age groups do your Reading tutors teach?
We have tutors who specialise in teaching all age groups, from young children just learning to read at primary school, right through to students studying complex texts for their A-Levels or university degree. You can filter your search by level to find the right tutor for your child.
