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.

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 aiming for Hereford Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them build the reading skills needed for their GCSEs?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the strong reading comprehension and analytical skills needed to succeed in their GCSEs. They can tailor sessions to the demands of the curriculum, helping your child build the confidence and knowledge to achieve the grades they need for college.
We want our child to feel confident starting at a school like The Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Yes, definitely. A tutor can help strengthen your child's foundational reading skills, so they feel prepared and confident from day one. By making reading enjoyable and less daunting, tutoring can ease the transition into a new school environment and help them keep pace in all their subjects.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson to make sure you've found the right fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you find the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in reading?
A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to learn without the fear of getting things wrong in front of their classmates. By celebrating small wins and tailoring lessons to their interests, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and show them that reading can be enjoyable.
How much does online reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies too?
It's for both! While we have experts in core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, and much more. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple and secure. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work through exercises together in real-time, just as they would in person, but from the comfort of your own home.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Lessons are typically one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some parents book a few lessons to help with a specific topic, while others arrange weekly sessions for ongoing support. You can discuss a plan with your tutor to find the right approach for your child.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
