Hadika M
Dedicated Reading tutor
As a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester, I saw firsthand how many of my classmates struggled with Maths and English. It wasn't just a few; it was a common challenge. Seeing their difficulties sparked something in me. I found that I genuinely loved helping them understand concepts that seemed confusing. The feeling of watching them grasp a difficult idea was incredibly rewarding, and that's when I discovered my passion for teaching.I strongly disagree with the idea that people are naturally "good" at one subject and "bad" at another. I believe that anyone can learn anything...

Kathy F
Creative Reading tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Joanne W
My daughter has been having tutoring session with Jo for some time now, her reading has improved so much in that time. 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
My child is aiming for The Blue Coat School. Can a tutor help them prepare for the reading demands?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong reading comprehension and analytical skills needed to thrive in academically demanding environments like The Blue Coat School. They can tailor lessons to focus on the specific skills your child needs to feel confident and prepared.
We're thinking about A-levels at Oldham Sixth Form College. How can a Reading tutor help my child get ready?
Strong reading skills are fundamental for A-level success across all subjects. A tutor can help your child master advanced comprehension, critical analysis, and the ability to read and synthesise complex information – all essential skills for making a smooth transition to Oldham Sixth Form College and achieving their best results.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can start by browsing tutor profiles, watching their introduction videos, and reading 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.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, a tutor can patiently break down difficult concepts, celebrate small wins, and create a positive learning environment. This personalised attention helps your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary school to university level, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills! Your child could learn anything from coding or playing the guitar to a new language.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed to make a difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What age groups do your Reading tutors teach?
Our tutors support learners of all ages. We have specialists in early years phonics for younger children, tutors who focus on preparing for the 11+ and GCSEs, and those who can help with A-level and even degree-level reading skills.
Can I message a tutor before booking a lesson?
Of course. We encourage you to send a message to any tutors you're interested in. It's a great way to discuss your child's needs, ask about the tutor's approach, and make sure they're the right fit before you commit to a lesson.
