This is to ensure they have that strive and determination to reach their full potential for themselves. I like to cater my lessons to suit the needs of the child, so that I can adapt my lesson to meet the needs of the child as well as ensuring the child...

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 preparing for the 11+ for schools like Woodford County High. Can we find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the specific requirements for competitive grammar schools. You can view their profiles to see their expertise and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals.
My child is worried about falling behind in top sets. Can a tutor help them keep up?
Of course. A one-to-one tutor is brilliant for this. They can work at your child's pace to consolidate what they've learned in class, fill any knowledge gaps, and even work ahead on new topics. This can be a huge confidence boost and help them feel fully prepared for every lesson.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience. We recommend messaging a few to find someone you and your child both feel comfortable with.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel reassured that your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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 in North-East London cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online Reading lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through comprehension exercises on our interactive whiteboard, analysing a poem together, practising exam techniques for the 11+, or simply having an encouraging conversation to build a love of books.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief grows naturally.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we love helping with school subjects, we also have amazing tutors for a whole range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we have expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it with your chosen tutor.
Can online tutoring really be as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many children, it's even better. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a whiteboard that make learning engaging and collaborative. Plus, with no travel time and access to the best UK-wide tutors, it's a convenient and highly effective way to learn.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within a few days, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
