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.

Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Rugeley schools?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the UK National Curriculum taught in Staffordshire schools. You can check their profile for details or message them directly to ask about their experience with the specific curriculum your child's school follows.
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 a tutor that works for your family. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutor profiles with no hidden costs.
My child is preparing for the transition to secondary school. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. A tutor can help build your child's confidence and skills ahead of moving to secondary school. They can work on comprehension, reading speed, and analytical skills to ensure they feel prepared for the new challenges in Year 7.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
By providing a safe, one-to-one learning space, tutors can help your child ask questions without feeling embarrassed. They celebrate small wins and adapt their teaching style to your child's needs, which helps them feel capable and builds their self-esteem.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and engage with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
What if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 check your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we support core academic subjects for all ages, from 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child new hobbies and skills like learning the guitar, coding, or even a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide you with regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review the topics they've covered together.
My child is very shy. Will online tutoring work for them?
Many parents find that online tutoring is a great option for shy children. The one-to-one setting can feel less intimidating than a classroom, allowing them to build a rapport with their tutor and grow in confidence at their own pace.
