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...

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.

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 hoping to attend Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School. Can a tutor help them prepare for the more demanding KS3 reading?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping children make the step up to secondary school. They can work with your child to build the advanced comprehension and analytical skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the curriculum at a high-performing school.
We live in Rawtenstall and are worried about the transition to a school like Haslingden High. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern for parents. A tutor can provide dedicated support to bridge the gap between Year 6 and Year 7. They'll focus on strengthening core reading skills, building your child's confidence with more complex texts, and ensuring they start secondary school feeling capable and ready to learn.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building confidence and making progress.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand 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 tutor, 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 tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find the perfect tutor for your family. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
How do online lessons actually 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. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their reading?
A great tutor creates a safe and encouraging space where your child feels comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. By celebrating small wins and tailoring lessons to their interests, a tutor can transform reading from a chore into something your child genuinely enjoys.
Are the 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 8 applicants.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also help students of all ages learn new skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is the perfect amount to build momentum and see consistent progress. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your tutor based on your child's specific goals and your family's schedule.
Can tutoring help if my child has fallen behind?
Yes, one-to-one tutoring is one of the most effective ways to help a child catch up. A tutor can take the time to go back over the basics, fill in any gaps in their knowledge, and rebuild their confidence at a pace that is right for them.
