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.

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 will be going to Ossett Academy. Can a tutor help them prepare for the more demanding reading?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we help. A reading tutor can specifically work on the comprehension, analysis, and critical thinking skills needed for the step-up to secondary school, ensuring your child feels confident and prepared from day one.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in schools around Ossett and Wakefield?
Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are very familiar with the UK National Curriculum. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and even message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and how they align with local school expectations.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before you book your first session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is key. 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 online reading tuition cost in Ossett?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so there's an option for every budget. You can see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, making it easy to find the right support for your family.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
My child finds reading a bit of a chore. How can a tutor help?
A great tutor can change that. By finding texts and topics that genuinely interest your child, they can make reading feel less like work and more like an adventure. This personalised approach often sparks a new-found enthusiasm for learning.
Can a tutor help with specific skills like phonics or exam preparation?
Definitely. Our reading tutors can help with the full spectrum of skills, from foundational phonics and fluency for younger children to detailed text analysis and essay technique for those preparing for GCSE or A-Level exams.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects like Reading, we also have talented tutors who teach a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we can help them find a brilliant tutor.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their strengths, what they find tricky, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed way to build a rapport and create a tailored plan for future lessons.
