Strong reading isn't just about enjoying a good book; it's the foundation for almost all other learning. For the 11+, excellent reading comprehension is essential for tackling the verbal reasoning sections with confidence. As your child moves on to secondary school, these skills become even more important, whether they're analysing quotes in a GCSE English text or understanding complex instructions in a science exam. A solid grasp of reading opens doors to further education and a huge range of future careers.

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.

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 New Milton and are aiming for a grammar school in Bournemouth or Salisbury. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in preparing children for the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning sections. They can focus specifically on improving reading comprehension, building vocabulary, and practising exam techniques to help your child feel confident and prepared for the tests.
My child's school has flagged their reading comprehension. How can a tutor help them catch up?
This is one of the main benefits of one-to-one support. A tutor can take the time to understand exactly where your child is struggling with their reading comprehension. They can then build a plan with fun and engaging exercises to close those gaps, helping your child build skills and confidence at their own pace.
How do I find the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience, what they specialise in (like 11+ preparation), and their availability. You can also read reviews from other parents to get a real sense of their teaching style. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to find the best fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason after the first lesson, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in their reading?
A great tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor. By providing patient, one-to-one encouragement and celebrating small wins, they help your child see that they *can* do it. This positive reinforcement is key to building lasting confidence.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a weekly session works well to build momentum, especially when preparing for exams like the 11+. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions last for one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic areas like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and professional skills, from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, your tutor will provide feedback after each session, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. It's a partnership, and our tutors are always happy to keep you updated on how things are going.
