My daughter has been having tutoring session with Jo for some time now, her reading has improved so much in that time. My daughter can be quite shy but she settled with Jo very quickly and she makes the lesson engaging and fun.Would recommend to anyone who needs some help for their child who is behind at school.

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 strong National 5s at Inverness Royal Academy. Can a tutor help with the specific curriculum?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum, including the National 5s and Highers. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and even message them before booking to discuss your child's needs at Inverness Royal Academy.

We're thinking about university options like UHI. Can a tutor help with the reading skills needed for Higher English?

Yes, definitely. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced reading comprehension and critical analysis skills required for Higher English. This provides a brilliant foundation for the demands of degree-level study at UHI or any other university.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We understand 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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Is tutoring just for school subjects like Reading and English?

Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach life skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.

How do I choose the best reading tutor for my child?

You can start by using the filters on our site to find tutors with the right experience. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to chat about your child's goals. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.

How much does an online reading tutor 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 expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere with an internet connection.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in reading?

Confidence comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down challenges into small, manageable steps and celebrating their progress, a tutor helps them see that they can succeed.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. It allows your child to build on what they've learned and tackle new challenges consistently. You can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your tutor.

What results can I expect for my child?

Every child is different, but our goal is always to help them feel more confident and capable. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. You can also see the impact in how your child approaches their schoolwork and their newfound enthusiasm for learning.
