Expert Online Reading Tutors for Your Child in the New Forest
We know that the move from a small, local primary to a large secondary school like Priestlands or Ringwood can feel like a huge step. As a parent, it's natural to worry that if your child's reading isn't strong from the start, they might struggle to keep up with the faster pace and more demanding work across all their subjects.

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 hoping to go to Brockenhurst College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. A tutor can help strengthen the core reading and comprehension skills your child will need to excel in their GCSEs, giving them the best possible chance of meeting the entry requirements for their chosen courses at Brockenhurst College.
We live in a rural part of the New Forest. Is online tutoring really as effective?
Yes, many families find it even more effective. Online tutoring removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Our interactive online classroom has tools like video chat and a shared whiteboard, making lessons just as engaging and personal as being in the same room.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in specific areas, watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 much do online reading tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts, and you only pay for the lessons you book.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an ID and background check before they can join our platform. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build reading confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged. A tutor can break down difficult concepts, celebrate small wins, and tailor their teaching style, which helps your child feel capable and motivated.
How does online tutoring work? What do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs in your web browser, so there's no software to download. It includes video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing to make lessons interactive and effective.
How are lessons tailored to my child's specific reading level?
Before the first session, you can message the tutor to discuss your child's current reading ability and what you hope to achieve. The tutor will then assess your child's needs during the lesson and create a plan that targets their specific areas for improvement, whether it's phonics, fluency, or comprehension.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards reading.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects like Reading?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also help people of all ages explore their passions. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.
Can a tutor help if my child has specific learning needs like dyslexia?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with specific learning differences, including dyslexia. You can use our search filters to find tutors with SEN experience and read their profiles to learn more about their specialist skills.
