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.

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 preparing for entry into one of the Loughborough Schools Foundation schools. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for entrance exams like the 11+. They can focus on building the specific reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills your child will need, helping them feel calm and confident on test day.
We're worried about the step up from primary to secondary school in Loughborough. How can a Reading tutor help with this transition?
This is a very common concern, and a tutor can make a real difference. They can work with your child to solidify their foundational reading skills, ensuring they have the confidence and ability to tackle the more complex texts and faster pace of secondary school. It's all about building a strong base so they don't feel overwhelmed.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason it's not the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to teaching reading and discuss your child's specific needs. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
How much does online Reading tuition cost in Loughborough?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just skills?
Confidence is key! In a one-to-one setting, your child gets the tutor's full attention. This creates a safe space to make mistakes and ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and providing constant encouragement helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Do you only offer tutors for academic subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects from primary level through to university, we also offer tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have a tutor who can help them explore their interests.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The goal is to work in partnership with you to help your child achieve their learning goals.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their love for reading?
Definitely. A great tutor can help rediscover the joy in reading. By finding books and topics that genuinely interest your child and approaching learning in a fun, low-pressure way, they can help turn reading from a chore into a pleasure.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat to make lessons engaging.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
