Carole G
Professional Reading tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!"

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.

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 hoping to go to The Queen Katherine School. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. A tutor can help build the core reading and comprehension skills your child will need to feel confident and ready for the demands of secondary school. By strengthening these foundations now, they can start their next chapter on the front foot.
We're already thinking about A-levels at Kendal College. How does reading support help now?
Strong reading skills are fundamental for success in almost all A-level subjects. A tutor helps build the analytical and comprehension abilities your child will rely on for their future studies, giving them a huge head start for college and beyond.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
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 before you book. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style and find someone your child will really connect with.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
This is one of the most important things a tutor does. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it 'wrong'. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building a child's self-belief step-by-step.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It's a simple, interactive, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How does Tutorful know its tutors are good?
Our community of over 200,000 students and their parents have left over 4,100 reviews, giving us an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars. Plus, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, which shows the real impact our tutors have.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to get over a specific hurdle, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of children with subjects like Maths and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child new skills like coding, learning the guitar, or even speaking Japanese.
What are the benefits of online tutoring?
Online tutoring is incredibly convenient – no travel means it's easy to fit lessons around your family's busy schedule. It also gives you access to the best specialist tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally.
