So far so good, Joanne is amazing, such a kind nature, she has a fantastic way to get my son to concentrate during his time learning, which is something that he struggled with.

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 at primary school in Portishead. Can a tutor help them prepare for the jump to Gordano School?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping children make the transition from Year 6 to Year 7. They can help strengthen core reading and comprehension skills, ensuring your child feels confident and prepared for the more demanding curriculum at secondary school.
We're considering entrance exams for Bristol schools like BGS or QEH. Can we find a tutor experienced in 11+ reading?
Yes. You can filter for tutors with specific experience in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. They can help your child develop the advanced comprehension, vocabulary, and critical reasoning skills needed to approach these assessments with confidence.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos to get a feel for a tutor's personality, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will genuinely connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is 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 much do online Reading tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a highly-rated tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can an online tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult concepts and celebrate small wins, which builds self-esteem and makes them feel capable.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a whiteboard, which makes lessons engaging and collaborative.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
My child finds reading boring. How can a tutor help with that?
Our tutors are brilliant at making learning fun. They can tailor sessions around your child's interests, whether that's football, fantasy stories, or science. By connecting reading to topics they already love, a tutor can help spark their curiosity and change their attitude towards learning.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn a musical instrument like the guitar, explore a new language, or even get help with practical skills like coding. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
What happens in a typical online reading session?
Every session is different because it's tailored to your child. It might start with a quick chat about a book they're reading, then move on to activities focusing on a specific skill, like understanding new vocabulary, analysing a character, or practising comprehension questions. It's always interactive and paced for your child.

Guaranteed.
