I believe all pupils have the capacity to succeed and surpass their goals, if they're given the right support and guidance.

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 preparing for entrance exams for schools near Rickmansworth. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and private school entrance exams. You can check their profiles for specific experience with the requirements for schools in and around Hertfordshire, and you can message them before booking to discuss your child's goals.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught at local schools like Rickmansworth School?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the National Curriculum. Many have experience helping students from specific schools. The best way to find out is to read a tutor's profile and send them a message to ask about their familiarity with your child's school curriculum.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want you and your child to be completely happy. With 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 do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much do online Reading tutors in Rickmansworth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
My child's confidence in Reading is low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief step by step.
What does a typical online Reading lesson look like?
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. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down sentence structure or share an interesting article to read and discuss together. It's engaging, interactive, and tailored to your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions leading up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss what works best with your tutor.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's incredibly effective! With over 4,100 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, parents tell us they love the convenience and progress they see. Online learning removes travel time and allows you to access the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn a hobby?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic areas from primary school to degree level, your child can also learn new skills and hobbies. We have expert tutors for everything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language.
How involved do I need to be in my child's tutoring sessions?
Your main role is to help your child get set up for their lesson in a quiet space. Tutors provide feedback directly to you after sessions, so you'll always be kept in the loop about their progress. You can relax knowing your child is in safe, expert hands.
