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 a school like Tanbridge House or Millais. Can a tutor help them build the reading skills they'll need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in strengthening the foundational reading and comprehension skills that are vital for keeping up with the curriculum at academically strong secondary schools. They can create a tailored plan to ensure your child feels confident and prepared for the step up.
We live in Horsham, but does the tutor need to be local?
No, and that’s one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. Your child can connect with the very best Reading tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who perfectly match your child's needs and personality.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will get on with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence in reading.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension specifically?
A tutor can use a range of techniques to help. They can work on expanding your child’s vocabulary, teach them how to identify key information in a text, and help them understand subtext and inference. They make sessions fun and engaging to build skills in a way that feels natural.
Are all 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 up-to-date DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child has lost their love for reading. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A great tutor can help rediscover the joy in reading by connecting with your child's interests, whether that's comics, adventure stories, or non-fiction. By choosing texts they find exciting, a tutor can turn reading from a chore into a pleasure again.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons are the best way to build strong, lasting skills.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get to grips with coding, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
What age groups do your Reading tutors teach?
Our tutors can help at every stage, from building phonics skills in Early Years and Primary school right through to analysing complex texts for GCSEs, A-Levels, and even degree-level study. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's age group.
