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
Can a tutor specifically help my child prepare for the Kent Test?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They understand the format and can focus on building the advanced comprehension, vocabulary, and reasoning skills your child will need to feel confident on the day.
We're aiming for a grammar school place in Kent. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, including helping students with grammar school entrance exams. You can even message tutors before booking to ask about their specific experience with the Kent Test to find the perfect match for your child.
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 for any reason you don't get on with your first 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 pick the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they are the best of the best. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Reading?
A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to work at their own pace, away from the pressure of the classroom. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief and rediscover a love for reading.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find a weekly session works well to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange a frequency that suits your child's needs and your family's schedule with your tutor.
What results can I expect for my child?
Every child learns differently, but our goal is always to help them feel more confident and capable. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we have over 4,100+ reviews from happy parents, with an average rating of 4.6 stars.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals for upcoming sessions, ensuring you're always part of the learning journey.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like piano or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So alongside core academic support for things like Maths and English, your child can explore hobbies and new skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
