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.

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 needs. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask questions before booking. This helps you find someone your child will look forward to learning with.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for schools in Buckinghamshire. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience with 11+ preparation, including the verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills that are so important. You can filter your search for tutors with 11+ experience to find the right support for your child's grammar school ambitions.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost in Gerrards Cross?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in schools around Gerrards Cross?
Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum. While they may not know a specific school's timetable, they are highly experienced in the learning objectives for each key stage, from primary school through to GCSE and A-Level, ensuring their teaching aligns with what your child is learning at school.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, which helps your child feel capable and more positive about their abilities.

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.

We have tutors who specialise in teaching all ages, from early years and primary school children learning phonics, right through to students preparing for their GCSEs or A-Levels. You can check a tutor's profile to see the specific age groups they have experience with.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum and see consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor to fit your child's goals and your family's schedule.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the core academic curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
