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 aiming for Queen Elizabeth's High School in Gainsborough. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams like the 11+. You can view their profiles to see their experience with Verbal Reasoning and comprehension skills needed for grammar school entry. You can even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs for the QEHS exam.
Are the tutors actually based in Gainsborough?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, and because all lessons are online, you're not limited to your local area. This gives you a much wider choice of expert Reading tutors, including 11+ specialists, so you can find the perfect match for your child, no matter where they are.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first session wasn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
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 qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to ask about their approach to teaching Reading and preparing for exams like the 11+.
Can a tutor help my child if their confidence is low?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step is a fantastic way to boost their self-esteem.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll find the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe?
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.
How do the 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 and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. For consistent progress towards an exam like the 11+, most parents find a weekly one-hour session works well. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from primary level to degree, we also have brilliant tutors for hobbies and practical skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! Join over 200,000 happy students who have found success with our tutors. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, so you can feel reassured you're making a great choice for your child.
What's the cancellation policy if we need to miss a lesson?
We ask for 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson. This gives our tutors enough time to offer the slot to another student. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
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.
