Reading is much more than a school subject; it's the foundation for all future learning. Strong reading and comprehension skills are essential for your child to understand history texts, analyse poetry, and even tackle word problems in Maths. This core skill builds confidence across the curriculum and is vital for success in their 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels. It opens up a world of options for college, university, and the career path they choose.

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?
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 for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone you and your child both feel comfortable with.
My child is preparing for secondary school in the Ryde area. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. A tutor can be a great help during the transition to secondary school. They can work with your child on the more advanced reading and comprehension skills needed for Year 7, building their confidence so they feel ready and prepared for the step up.
How much does online reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used on the Isle of Wight?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the UK national curriculum. You can check their individual profiles for details on their experience and message them directly to ask about their familiarity with the specific curriculum followed by your child's school.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help if my child just doesn't enjoy reading?
This is where a one-to-one tutor can make a real difference. By understanding your child's hobbies and interests, a tutor can find books, comics, or articles that genuinely excite them. They make reading feel less like a chore and more like an adventure, helping to build a positive relationship with books.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we support core subjects from Primary up to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding with Python, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors to help.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
Each lesson is unique because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve reading a story aloud together, practising phonics with interactive games on the online whiteboard, or learning how to analyse characters and themes from a school text. The tutor will focus on whatever your child needs most.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and we personally interview every single one. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors will provide you with regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they become more willing to read and talk about books. The goal is not just better grades, but a genuine improvement in their skills and enthusiasm for learning.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer, laptop, or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child and your family's schedule.
