Lina H
Professional and inspiring Reading and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

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're aiming for a top London prep school like Wetherby. Can a tutor help with the 7+ reading exam?
Absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors specialise in preparing children for competitive entrance exams like the 7+ and 8+. They have experience with the specific requirements of London's leading prep schools and can focus on building the comprehension, vocabulary, and reasoning skills your child needs to feel confident and perform their best.
My child is struggling with verbal reasoning. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?
Yes. Verbal reasoning is a key part of many school entrance exams, and we have tutors who are experts in this area. They can use targeted exercises and techniques to help your child understand the logic behind the questions and improve their speed and accuracy, turning a point of anxiety into an area of strength.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 7+ right through to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can help your child explore hobbies and develop new skills, from learning a musical instrument to coding or even a new language.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs for their school entrance exams, ensuring you find the perfect fit.
How much does online Reading tuition in Mayfair cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and provide professional references, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. When a tutor tailors lessons to your child's pace and celebrates their progress, it helps them see what they're capable of. This positive reinforcement is key to building lasting confidence.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Our tutors work with you to set clear goals, and the regular, personalised feedback helps your child make steady progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Our tutors provide feedback after each session to keep you updated on what was covered and how your child is getting on. This open communication ensures you're always part of their learning journey.
What if our schedule changes and we need to rearrange a lesson?
We understand that family life is busy. You can easily manage your schedule and rearrange lessons with your tutor through the platform, as long as you provide the required notice (usually 24 hours). It's designed to be flexible and fit around you.
