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
Are the Reading tutors actually based in Newton Abbot?
Our tutors are online, which means you can connect with the very best Reading specialists from across the UK, not just those limited to the Newton Abbot area. This gives your child access to a much wider pool of expertise, ensuring you find the perfect match for their needs and learning style, right from the comfort of your home.
My child goes to school in the Teignbridge area. Can a tutor help with their specific curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the UK curriculum and can tailor their lessons to align with what your child is learning at their school in the Newton Abbot and wider Teignbridge area. During your first chat, you can discuss your child's schoolwork to ensure the tutoring is perfectly in sync with their needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best Reading tutor for my child?
We make it simple. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps you get a feel for their approach and find the perfect personality match for your child.
How much does a Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring help if my child's confidence with reading is low?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. Celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step is a fantastic way to boost their self-esteem.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from Primary up to degree level, we also believe in learning for life. You can find tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity checks and background checks (DBS or equivalent). We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child on analysing a text together on the whiteboard, practice phonics using interactive tools, or simply have a conversation about a book to improve their comprehension and confidence.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's more frequent sessions ahead of an exam or fortnightly lessons for general support.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Most importantly, you'll likely see the progress yourself, in their growing confidence, improved schoolwork, and a more positive attitude towards reading.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly! Simply search for Reading tutors, message a few you like the look of, and you can often have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's designed to be simple and stress-free for you.
