In reception, I inadvertently surprised my teachers by 'reading' a book to the class; in reality, I had merely memorised the words from an audiobook in a creative attempt to sidestep the challenge of actual reading! Through perseverance and the guidance of exceptional teachers, I gradually...

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 will be going to Harwich and Dovercourt High School. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. A tutor can help strengthen your child's core reading skills and build their confidence, ensuring they feel ready and prepared for the step up to secondary school. They can work on everything from comprehension to vocabulary, giving them a really solid foundation.
We're hoping our child will eventually study at Colchester Sixth Form College. How can reading tuition help now?
Strong reading skills are essential for success in GCSEs, which are the gateway to colleges like Colchester Sixth Form. By building these skills early, you're giving your child the best chance to understand and excel in all their subjects, setting them up for future academic success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand how important the right fit is. That’s why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get help with a new language, or even learn to code.
How much do online Reading tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily see the cost per hour on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
There are so many tutors. How do I choose the right one for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a real feel for each tutor. We recommend sending a message to a few you like to chat about your child’s needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
Can a tutor help my child with their reading for SATS?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in preparing children for SATS. They can make revision less stressful by focusing on specific areas your child finds tricky, like inference or comprehension, and build their confidence before the tests.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they all undergo a background check. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best tutors in the UK.
My child's confidence is low when it comes to reading. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child won't feel afraid to make mistakes. By celebrating small wins and explaining things in a way they understand, they can help rebuild that self-belief.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, with video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use this to share a text and highlight key passages, work on spelling exercises together, or play word games to make learning fun and engaging. Every lesson is tailored to your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week works well, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Will tutoring actually improve my child's reading ability?
We see fantastic results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. With personalised attention and lessons tailored to their specific needs, your child gets the focused support they need to make real, lasting progress.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
