Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free chat beforehand, which is a great way to see if their personality and teaching style are a good fit for your child.

How much does online Reading tutoring cost in Plymstock?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Plymstock schools?

Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the UK national curriculum. You can check their profiles for specifics or message them directly to ask about their familiarity with the curriculum used in local schools across the Plymouth area.

My child is preparing for the 11+ for schools like Devonport High. Can I find a tutor with that experience?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams like the 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in helping children prepare for grammar school entry tests.

What if we don't click with the 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 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in reading?

Confidence is key! In a one-to-one setting, your child gets a safe space to ask questions without feeling shy. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference in helping your child feel more positive about their abilities.

Are all tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked with a DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer support in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic areas from primary to degree level, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's all about finding what sparks their interest.

What happens in a typical online reading lesson?

Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve reading a text together, working on phonics with interactive tools on the online whiteboard, practising comprehension questions, or discussing characters and themes. The tutor will make it engaging and relevant to your child.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success, and 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?

Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point, but you can schedule lessons as frequently as you need, especially around exam time.
