Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving.

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 wants to study at South Tyneside College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for college courses. They can focus on the specific areas of the Reading curriculum your child finds challenging to build their skills and exam confidence.
We live in Jarrow. How does online tutoring work if the tutor is somewhere else in the UK?
The beauty of online tutoring is that location is no barrier! Your child can connect with the best Reading tutors from across the UK, not just those in Jarrow. All they need is a laptop or tablet with a camera, a microphone, and a stable internet connection for their live, one-to-one lessons.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews and ratings from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute video chat to discuss your child's needs and see if it's a good match before you book a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't right for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child has lost their confidence with reading. How can a tutor help?
A one-to-one tutor can be a game-changer for confidence. They create a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see that they can succeed.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, with prices clearly shown on their profiles. This means you can easily find a fantastic, highly-rated tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden costs.
How do the online lessons work? What equipment do we need?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a reliable internet connection.
Is it just for school subjects like Reading, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academic skills like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for music, languages, coding, and even professional development skills for adults.
How long are the sessions and how often should my child have them?
Most sessions are one hour long. Many parents find a weekly session works well to build momentum, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your family's schedule.
How do you measure my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session, letting you know what they covered and how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss goals and track their improvement.
