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.

asked questions

We're aiming for a competitive school in North-West London like Henrietta Barnett or QE. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the high standards of top grammar and independent schools in North-West London. They can help your child build the advanced reading comprehension and vocabulary skills needed for the demanding entrance exams.
Do your tutors understand the specific 11+ requirements for North-West London schools?
Yes, you can find tutors with specific experience in preparing children for the verbal reasoning and English papers used by the consortiums and individual schools in your area. You can check their profiles for this expertise and even message them to ask about their experience before booking.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by experience and price, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's needs before you book your first session.
What if we don't click with the first reading tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 does a reading tutor in North-West London cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our website to find someone who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in reading?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and patiently works through challenges, helping your child see themselves as a capable and confident reader.
How do online reading lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child and their tutor can analyse texts, work on exercises, and share notes in real-time, just as they would in person.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
My child finds reading a chore. How can a tutor make it more engaging?
A great tutor will get to know your child's interests and find books, articles or even comics that they will genuinely enjoy. They use fun, interactive methods to make reading feel less like work and more like an adventure, helping to spark a real love for learning.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Sessions are typically one hour long, and most families find that a regular weekly slot works best. However, it's completely flexible. You and your tutor can agree on a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like Reading, Maths and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach your child practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one support can make a big difference quickly. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.
