The Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in Reading
Finding the right person to support your child is key. Our tutors are experts at getting to know how your child learns best. They'll quickly identify the specific areas where your child needs a little extra help – whether it's tricky vocabulary or understanding subtle inferences in a text – and create a plan to build their skills and confidence. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, sessions focus on exactly what they need to work on. This could mean practising verbal reasoning questions for the 11+, working on comprehension techniques, or simply finding the joy in reading again. It’s focused, effective support that leads to real progress. We know family life in Royal Tunbridge Wells is busy. Online tutoring fits around your schedule. You can find the perfect Reading tutor for your child and arrange lessons for times that work for you, all from the comfort of your own home.

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
We're aiming for a grammar school in Royal Tunbridge Wells. Can a tutor help with the Kent Test?
Absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They can focus on building the core reading comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning skills needed for your child to feel confident and prepared for the entrance exams for schools like The Skinners' School or TWGGS.
How do I find a tutor who understands the Royal Tunbridge Wells school system?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience. Many tutors mention their expertise with local entrance exams, like the Kent Test, in their profiles. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their familiarity with the local grammar and independent schools.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session to make sure you've found a great match.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Reading?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor makes a huge difference. In a private, encouraging space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps, which helps rebuild self-belief and a positive attitude towards learning.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor in the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even music production.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam like the 11+, while others have weekly lessons throughout the school year to build their skills and confidence over time. You can discuss this directly with your tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback on how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and ask any questions you might have. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
What happens in a typical online Reading lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A tutor might start by reviewing a piece of homework, then introduce a new concept like inference or identifying literary devices. They could use the interactive whiteboard to analyse a piece of text together or work through practice exam questions for the Kent Test.
