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 aiming for Middlesbrough College. Can a tutor help them with the reading skills needed for their courses?
Yes, absolutely. A reading tutor can work with your child to develop the specific comprehension and analytical skills they'll need for their chosen courses, ensuring they feel prepared and confident to handle college-level work.
We live in Middlesbrough and are worried about the step-up to a school like Macmillan Academy. How can a reading tutor help?
Our tutors can help bridge the gap between primary and secondary school. They can pre-teach complex vocabulary, improve reading speed and comprehension, and build your child's confidence so they arrive in Year 7 feeling ready for the challenge, not just in English but across all subjects.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 much do online reading tutors cost?
Prices vary as tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors on our website by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at a different pace, but one-to-one tutoring is designed to build momentum quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions.
Can a tutor help my child if they have dyslexia?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience and qualifications in supporting students with dyslexia and other learning differences. You can use our filters to find tutors who specialise in this area and read about their approach on their profiles.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects from primary to university level, we also have experts who can teach hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language.
What age groups do your reading tutors teach?
Our tutors support learners of all ages. We have specialists in early years phonics, tutors who help with 11+ and GCSE preparation, and those who assist adults looking to improve their own reading skills.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.

Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
