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.

Brilliant Reading tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're aiming for The Blue Coat School. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the 11+ reading exam?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are experienced in the specific comprehension, vocabulary, and reasoning skills required for entrance exams to competitive schools like The Blue Coat School and St Hilda's. They can help your child build confidence and familiarity with the exam format.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs. You can view tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. 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 do online Reading tutors in Liverpool cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
My older child is at the University of Liverpool. Can a tutor help them with academic reading?
Yes, of course. Tutoring isn't just for school-aged children. We have many tutors who specialise in degree-level support, helping students with advanced academic reading, critical analysis, and essay writing skills needed to succeed at university.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in reading?
A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe, encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace without pressure. By celebrating small wins and tailoring activities to their interests, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and rediscover the joy of reading.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You might want more sessions leading up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We believe in learning for life, not just for exams! Alongside academic subjects, our tutors offer a huge range of skills, from learning a musical instrument like the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and public speaking. There's something for every interest.
What are the benefits of online tutoring compared to in-person?
Online tutoring offers great flexibility, fitting easily around your family's busy schedule without any travel time. It also gives you access to a much wider choice of expert tutors from across the UK, not just those in your immediate area, so you can find the perfect match for your child.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really varies from child to child. Some students may only need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from ongoing weekly support to build their skills over time. It's a partnership, and you can work with your tutor to decide what's best for your child.
