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
We live in Kilburn and are thinking about grammar schools. Can a tutor help with the verbal reasoning part of the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our expert tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including the verbal and non-verbal reasoning elements which rely heavily on strong comprehension and vocabulary. They can help your child build these core skills and get familiar with the exam format.
Competition for good secondary schools in this part of London is high. How can a reading tutor give my child an edge?
A reading tutor helps by building a rock-solid foundation. They provide one-to-one attention to fill any gaps in your child's understanding, boost their confidence, and foster a genuine enjoyment of reading. This not only improves their performance in English but across all subjects, making them a more confident and capable learner overall.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match. Think about your child's personality and learning style – are they quiet and in need of gentle encouragement, or energetic and need to be challenged? Finding the right personality fit is key.
My child has lost all confidence with reading. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first and most important step.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor is required to have an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit for your child. 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 much does online reading tuition cost?
Prices vary as tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons you book.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and engage with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
How long until we see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns differently, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm after just a few sessions.
What age groups do your reading tutors teach?
Our tutors support learners of all ages, from helping young children with their first phonics and early reading, right through to GCSE and A-Level students analysing complex texts, and even adult learners.
Do you only offer academic subjects? My child is interested in learning guitar.
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we're here to help with core skills like Reading, Maths and Science, you can also find expert tutors for hobbies like learning guitar, coding, or even speaking a new language.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying is simple and secure. We take your payment details when you book, but we only charge your card 24 hours after each lesson is complete, so you can be sure you're happy with the session.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
