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 live in Hackney and are worried about the competition for secondary schools like Mossbourne. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping children build the strong reading comprehension and analytical skills needed to feel confident and prepared for secondary school entrance assessments. They can focus on the specific areas your child needs to strengthen, giving them a solid foundation for success.
My child is just starting primary school in Hackney. Is it too early for a Reading tutor?
Not at all. A tutor can make early reading experiences positive and fun, which is key to building a lifelong love of learning. They can help your child with phonics and early comprehension in a gentle, encouraging way, helping them feel ready and excited for the classroom.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Reading?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also help students explore their passions. We offer tuition in everything from learning an instrument like the guitar or piano, to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose approach and personality seem like a good fit for your child. It’s all about finding someone they can build a great learning relationship with.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence in Reading?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space works wonders for confidence. Your child can ask questions without feeling shy or rushed. Tutors celebrate small wins and tailor lessons to their pace, which helps them see their own progress and feel proud of what they can do.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been interviewed by our team and have had their ID and background checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time for your child to focus and make progress without feeling overwhelmed. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your tutor.
What happens in a typical online Reading lesson?
Lessons are interactive and tailored to your child. They might use the online whiteboard to break down a tricky text, work on phonics exercises together, or discuss a book to improve comprehension. The tutor will focus on the specific areas your child needs help with.
How quickly can we start?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time that works for you, and book your first session.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
Have a great first lesson.
