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
We're aiming for a place at Merchant Taylors'. Can a tutor help with the specific 11+ reading requirements?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exam preparation. They have experience with the specific comprehension and verbal reasoning formats used by selective schools and can create a tailored plan to help your child build the skills and confidence needed for exam day.
My child is in Year 5 in a Formby primary school. Is now the right time to start tutoring for the 11+?
Many parents find that starting in Year 4 or Year 5 is ideal. It gives the tutor plenty of time to identify and strengthen any weaker areas without putting too much pressure on your child. The goal is to build their skills steadily so they feel confident and prepared when the time comes.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Look for someone with experience in the specific area you need help with, like 11+ prep or building reading confidence.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can tutoring help my child enjoy reading more, not just for exams?
A great tutor can bring stories and texts to life. By connecting books to your child's interests and helping them understand difficult passages, they can transform reading from a chore into a pleasure. This newfound confidence often sparks a genuine love for reading.
How does online tutoring work? What equipment do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has features like a whiteboard to make learning engaging and effective.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay. It's easy to see their availability on their profile.
Can tutoring help with general confidence, not just grades?
Definitely. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's self-esteem. When they start to understand things they previously found difficult, their confidence grows, and that positive feeling often carries over into the classroom.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their interests.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
