Focused Reading Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best. A great tutor will take the time to understand your child's unique learning style and pinpoint exactly where they need help, whether it's inference skills or analysing a character's motives. They create a safe, supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and building their confidence. Every one-to-one lesson is tailored specifically for your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, their tutor can focus on the texts they're studying at school, helping them break down complex passages from a Science textbook or find the right evidence in an English essay. This targeted help, which has helped 90% of students improve by at least one grade, ensures they make real, noticeable progress. With online tutoring, you can forget the stress of after-school travel. Your child can learn from the comfort of your home in Hailsham, with sessions that fit easily around your family's schedule.

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 moving up to Hailsham Community College. Can a tutor help with the specific reading skills they'll need?
Absolutely. This is a common reason parents seek support. Our tutors can specifically focus on the key skills needed for the jump to Year 7, such as inference, comprehension of non-fiction texts, and analysing information, to ensure your child feels prepared and confident from day one.
How can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension, not just decoding words?
Our tutors specialise in going beyond basic reading. They use engaging methods to teach your child how to read between the lines, understand context, analyse authorial intent, and draw conclusions from a text. This builds the deeper comprehension skills needed for subjects across the curriculum.
We live in Hailsham. How does online tutoring work if the tutor isn't local?
Online tutoring gives you access to the best UK-based tutors, not just those nearby. Your child connects with their tutor in our interactive online classroom, which has a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a convenient and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How do I pick the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also send messages to tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and ensure they're the perfect match.
How much does online Reading tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help my child if they have lost their confidence in reading?
Yes. One of the greatest benefits of one-to-one tuition is building confidence. Tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace, celebrate small wins, and rediscover a love for reading without the pressure of a classroom.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor. Flexibility is a key benefit.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow, and this often translates into better engagement at school and improved results in class assessments and homework.
What happens in a typical online Reading lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve working through a tricky chapter from a school book, practising analysis of different text types, or playing word games to build vocabulary. It's always interactive and focused on your child's specific goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with a skill like coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
