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
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before booking your first lesson.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Golborne schools?
Yes, our tutors are based across the UK and are experienced with the National Curriculum used in primary and secondary schools in Golborne and the wider Wigan area. They can tailor their support to align with what your child is learning in class.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child is preparing for 11+ exams for grammar schools near Greater Manchester. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children build the skills and confidence needed for entrance exams for schools across the North West.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard for drawing and writing, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple, effective, and engaging way to learn from home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks and background checks, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child with their reading confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In one-to-one lessons, your child has a safe space to make mistakes and ask questions without any classroom pressure. This personalised attention from a patient tutor can make a world of difference.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from primary school through to university, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, such as learning to play the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Most lessons are an hour long, and most families choose to have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange the frequency and duration directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a great opportunity for your child and the tutor to get to know each other. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky, and set some simple goals. It's all about making sure your child feels comfortable and ready to learn.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews and a community of over 200,000 happy students, we're dedicated to helping your child succeed and feel great about their learning.
