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're hoping for a place at a competitive school like Royal Grammar School or Gosforth Academy. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students build the strong reading comprehension and analytical skills needed for entrance exams and to thrive in competitive academic environments. You can view their profiles to see who has the right experience for your child's goals.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the level of reading required at universities like Newcastle or Durham?
Yes. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced critical reading and thinking skills expected at top universities. They can work on everything from analysing complex academic texts to structuring arguments, giving them a real head start for their degree.
How do I pick the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience and price. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to ask any questions before you book. It helps you find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Reading tuition cost in Newcastle-upon-Tyne?
Tutor prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join our platform. We're also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child with their reading confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, breaking things down until they click. These small wins build up, leading to much greater self-belief.
How does online tutoring work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and effective.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn a hobby like guitar or coding?
We offer tutors for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, you can stay involved. You and your child can message the tutor anytime to discuss progress. After each lesson, the tutor can share feedback and set goals for the next session, so you'll always know how your child is getting on.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! If you need to reschedule, you can do so easily through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
