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
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How much do online Reading tutors in Oldbury cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child's confidence in reading is low. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key to learning. Our tutors create a friendly and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. This one-to-one attention helps them feel understood and builds their self-belief, which often leads to a newfound enjoyment of the subject.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. 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 do I know the tutors are safe to teach my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including identity checks and background checks, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child is thinking about applying to Sandwell College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with college applications, personal statements, and preparing for entrance interviews. A Reading tutor can help ensure their application is well-written and communicates their strengths effectively.
We live in Oldbury. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which includes a whiteboard, document sharing, and video chat, making learning engaging and effective.
What does a typical online reading lesson look like?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a school text together, using the interactive whiteboard to analyse quotes, practising phonics with fun exercises, or simply having a guided discussion about a book to improve comprehension skills.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?
Yes, for many students it's even more effective. Online lessons provide focused, one-to-one attention without distractions. With our interactive tools and the ability to find a tutor who perfectly matches your child's learning style, it's a fantastic way to make real progress. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents and students love it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something new?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic areas from primary school to university, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even take up a hobby like playing the guitar or singing.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, this is completely flexible. You can arrange frequency and lesson length directly with your chosen tutor to create a schedule that works best for your child and your family.
My child is quite shy. Will they be comfortable in an online lesson?
Many parents find that online tutoring is great for shy children. Learning from the comfort of home can help them feel more relaxed. The one-to-one setting also allows them to build a strong rapport with their tutor and ask questions without the pressure of a classroom environment.
