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 will be going to Redruth School. Can a tutor help them prepare for the transition?
Absolutely. Many parents seek tutoring to help ease the move from primary to secondary school. A tutor can work with your child to build their reading stamina and comprehension skills, ensuring they feel confident and prepared for the demands of the Year 7 curriculum.
We're thinking about Cornwall College or a local apprenticeship after GCSEs. How can a reading tutor help?
Strong reading and comprehension skills are vital for success in further education and the workplace. A tutor can help your child become confident in reading and interpreting complex texts, a skill that's essential for college assignments and understanding technical information in an apprenticeship.
How do I choose the best Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask questions before you book. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online reading 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. Tutors use engaging resources and activities to make learning to read fun and effective, all from the comfort of your home.
How much does a Reading tutor in Redruth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down challenges into manageable steps, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards reading.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised attention of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress more quickly than in a classroom setting. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and skills within just a few sessions.
Can a tutor help with specific reading challenges like dyslexia?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience and qualifications in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including dyslexia. You can filter your search to find tutors with this expertise or message them to discuss your child's specific needs.
What age groups do your reading tutors teach?
We have tutors who specialise in teaching reading to all ages, from early years and primary school children learning phonics, right through to secondary students needing help with GCSE English texts and adults looking to improve their skills.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like music or coding?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python or mastering a new language.
