Charlotte S
Friendly Reading Tutor
With over 10 years of teaching experience and 5 years of online tutoring, I’ve supported children from Reception to Year 6, helping them grow in confidence and enjoy learning. I use a student-centred, supportive teaching style, tailoring every lesson to each child’s needs, strengths and pace. No two learners are the same — and I love adapting my approach to make learning meaningful and engaging.One of the biggest reasons I love tutoring is the individual attention it allows. I get to slow down, focus entirely on one child, and celebrate every bit of progress with them. Seeing a concept “click” or watchi...

Providing progress in Reading through tailored support
I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience across both mainstream and specialist settings. For the past three years, I have worked in a school for children with social, emotional and mental health needs, all of whom have Education, Health and Care Plans. This has given me a strong foundation in trauma informed practice, personalised learning and the importance of building safe, trusting relationships so that children feel confident and supported in their learning. I believe these approaches benefit all children, not just those with additional needs.Before working in specialist education,...

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
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child in Rutherglen?
It’s easy! You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free to ask any questions before you book a lesson.
Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence?
Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience with the Scottish curriculum. You can check their profile descriptions or send them a message to confirm they can support your child with the specific learning outcomes for their level.
My child is preparing for the move to a local secondary school. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Absolutely. A tutor can be a great source of support during the transition to secondary school. They can help build the reading comprehension and analysis skills your child will need for more advanced subjects, making them feel more prepared and confident from day one.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost?
The price of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help if my child just doesn't enjoy reading?
A great tutor can make all the difference. They can find out what your child is interested in—whether it's football, fantasy, or science—and introduce books and texts on those topics. By making reading relevant and fun, they can help change your child's perspective.
What happens in the online classroom?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents and texts. It has all the tools your child needs to have a productive and fun lesson with their tutor.
What if my child is shy or anxious about tutoring?
This is a common concern, and our tutors are brilliant at putting children at ease. Learning one-to-one from the comfort of home is often much less daunting than a busy classroom. Tutors are skilled at building rapport and creating a safe, encouraging space for your child to learn.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually a great length to keep your child focused and engaged. Many families start with one session a week, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child's needs and your schedule directly with your tutor.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How quickly can my child see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence, which can happen after just a few sessions.
