Why Strong Reading Skills are Key to Your Child's Future
Strong reading isn't just about enjoying a book; it's the bedrock of all learning. It's the skill your child uses to understand a tricky algebra problem, analyse sources in a History essay, or follow complex instructions in a Science experiment. Developing great comprehension and analysis skills now will help them succeed in their GCSEs and A-Levels, opening doors to the college, university, and career choices they deserve.

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.

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
The 11+ for Manchester's grammar schools feels so competitive. Can a tutor help my child prepare?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced with 11+ preparation and entrance exams for specific schools. They can help your child get to grips with the Reading and comprehension sections, build their confidence, and develop effective exam techniques to help them feel ready for the day.
My child is struggling with comprehension in their school work. Can a Reading tutor focus on that?
Of course. The great thing about one-to-one tuition is that every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. The tutor can dedicate sessions to improving their reading comprehension, helping them understand how to identify key information, infer meaning, and structure their answers effectively.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions you might have and ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How much do online Reading tutors in Manchester cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can easily find a highly-rated, experienced tutor who fits within your budget.
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in Reading?
Confidence is key to learning. A private tutor provides a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without the pressure of a big classroom. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps rebuild their self-esteem.
How many students have you helped?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. With over 4,100 customer reviews and a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident you're in the right place.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help you find the right tutor.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have ongoing weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can speak with your child's tutor at any time to get feedback on their progress. Tutors will often share notes after each session, and you can see what they're working on, helping you stay involved in your child's learning journey.
