Building Strong Reading Skills for a Brighter Future
Mastering reading isn't just about passing exams; it's about unlocking a wider world for your child. Strong reading skills mean they can confidently analyse complex texts, understand nuanced instructions, and express their own ideas clearly. This foundational skill is vital for success in every subject, from understanding scientific papers to writing compelling essays. It opens doors to further education, whether at Burnley College or beyond, and prepares them for future careers in fields like journalism, law, or even creative writing – where clear communication is paramount. Imagine your child reading for pleasure, understanding the world around them, and feeling truly capable.

We know that trying to find the ideal tutor can feel overwhelming. That’s why we don’t ask you to scroll through endless profiles. Instead, you tell us about your child’s needs and learning style, and we thoughtfully match them with a Reading tutor who truly understands how to build confidence and make learning engaging. Our tutors are skilled communicators, chosen not just for their expertise, but for their ability to connect with students and inspire progress.
Forget imagining a basic video call. Tutorful's interactive online classroom is purpose-built for learning. Your child and their tutor will share a digital whiteboard, actively working through texts, annotating passages, and dissecting meaning together in real time. Tools are available to highlight key vocabulary or practice comprehension strategies. Crucially, every session is recorded, so your child can revisit challenging concepts or reread sections before an exam, reinforcing their understanding effectively.

Your child can learn from the comfort of your home, at times that truly fit your busy schedule – whether that's after school, on weekends, or even during holidays.

Professional Reading tutor
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.

Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

I want to give a big thankyou to Luke for his work with my son.
He's been incredibly patient and supportive, while also encouraging improvement in his reading.
Luke struck a great balance between structured learning and making the sessions fun.
We've seen real progress and I highly recommend him.

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.
