My daughter can be quite shy but she settled with Jo very quickly and she makes the lesson engaging and fun.Would recommend to anyone who needs some help for their child who is behind at 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
We live in Milton Keynes and are worried about the 11+ for Bucks grammar schools. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills needed. They can build a tailored plan to help your child feel prepared and confident for the exam.
My child is aiming for a top set at Denbigh School or Oakgrove. Can a reading tutor support this?
Definitely. A tutor can help strengthen your child's core reading and analytical skills, which are essential for thriving in top sets. By building their confidence and closing any knowledge gaps, they'll be in a great position to achieve their potential in secondary school.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introduction videos, reading reviews from other parents, and using the messaging system to chat with a few before booking. You can ask about their experience with your child's specific age group or goals.
How much does a reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45 depending on their experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online reading lessons actually 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. Tutors can upload texts and practice questions to work through together in real-time, just like they would in person.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes. We take your child's safety very seriously. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. One-to-one lessons create a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about school.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, tailored support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What age groups do your reading tutors teach?
Our tutors support learners of all ages, from helping young children in primary school build foundational reading skills, to supporting GCSE and A-Level students with complex texts, and even helping adults improve their reading for personal or professional development.
My child finds reading boring. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. A great tutor can help rediscover the joy in reading by connecting it to your child's own interests, whether that's comics, sports articles, or fantasy novels. Making reading feel relevant and fun is often the first step to building their skills and confidence.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can I find tutors for other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, you can also find support for a huge range of other skills! We have expert tutors who can teach everything from coding and learning a new language to playing the guitar or chess.
