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 aiming for Greenhead College. Can a tutor help build the reading skills needed for A-Levels?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students transition to the next level of their education. They can work with your child on the advanced analytical and comprehension skills required for A-Level study, building their confidence for college and beyond.
The curriculum at Holmfirth High School is quite challenging. Can a tutor tailor lessons to match what my child is studying?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored. Your child's tutor can work in line with their school curriculum, helping them with specific texts, homework, or exam preparation to ensure they feel supported and on track.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much do online Reading tutors 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 experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help if my child's confidence in reading is low?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. They create a positive and patient learning environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own progress and start to enjoy reading again.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through problems and texts together, just as they would in person.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's for regular weekly support or for a few extra lessons before an exam.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The best sign, however, is often seeing your child's growing confidence and a more positive attitude towards their schoolwork.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts for everything from Primary School to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring over a group class?
With one-to-one tutoring, the lesson is 100% focused on your child. They get the tutor's full attention, can learn at their own pace, and have lessons tailored to their specific learning style and goals. This personalised approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
