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 preparing for the 11+ in Grantham. Can I find a tutor with experience helping students get into schools like King's or KGGS?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience with the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning components required for entry into local grammar schools. You can view their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to ensure they're the right fit for your child's goals.
Are the reading tutors based in Grantham?
Not necessarily. The benefit of online tutoring is that you can connect with the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those in your local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can perfectly match your child's needs and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas, we also have fantastic tutors who can teach musical instruments, coding languages, new hobbies, and professional skills for adults.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience. Read their profiles to learn about their teaching style, check their qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before you book.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and vetted professional.
How much does a reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45, depending on their experience and qualifications. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in reading is low?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. They'll focus on building your child up, celebrating small wins, and helping them see their own progress.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many children, it's even more effective. With interactive tools and the ability to find a specialist tutor perfectly suited to their learning style, children are often more engaged online. It also saves you travel time and fits easily into your family's routine. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you are completely in control. You can book lessons as often as you like, and there are no contracts or minimum commitments.
How can I track my child's progress?
Our platform makes it easy to stay in the loop. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates, and they will often provide feedback after each session. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
