Personalised Reading Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective—only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and an expert in their field. They’ll take the time to get to know your child, understand their unique learning style, and build a positive, supportive relationship where they feel comfortable to ask questions and make progress. Because every child learns differently, every lesson is tailored to their specific needs. One week, their tutor might focus on phonics to build fluency; the next, they could be analysing a chapter from their favourite book to improve comprehension. This one-to-one attention means your child gets the exact help they need to fill in any gaps and build real confidence in their abilities. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With our online lessons, you can connect with the perfect Reading tutor without having to travel. It's simple to arrange sessions that fit around your family's life in Nottingham, making it easy for your child to get consistent, high-quality support from the comfort of your own home.

Carole G
Professional Reading tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in 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
My child is aiming for a school like Rushcliffe or Bluecoat Academy. Can a tutor help build the reading skills they'll need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can create a tailored plan to strengthen the core reading comprehension and analysis skills your child will need to keep pace and excel in a competitive secondary school environment. They can help build a strong foundation that will benefit them across all subjects.
We're hoping for the University of Nottingham in the future. How can early reading support help with this?
Strong reading and critical thinking skills are fundamental for success at A-Level and university. By helping your child become a confident, analytical reader now, you're equipping them with foundational skills that will be vital for tackling complex degree-level texts and coursework later on.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much do Reading tutors in Nottingham cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and interactive space where your child can learn effectively from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child with reading confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. This patient, one-to-one support is often the key to helping them feel more positive about reading.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You can arrange lessons to fit around your child's schedule and learning goals.
What age groups do your Reading tutors work with?
Our tutors have experience working with children of all ages, from early years and primary school students learning phonics to GCSE and A-Level students analysing complex texts. You can see the levels each tutor specialises in on their profile.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child is different, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to support their hobbies and passions.
