English Language and Literature Reading English
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving.

My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

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?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have 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.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Seaham schools?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience with the national curriculum as taught in schools across County Durham. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their specific experience with the local school system to find the perfect match for your child.
My child is thinking about applying to East Durham College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. A tutor can help your child strengthen the core Reading and comprehension skills needed for their college application and future courses. They can work on personal statement writing, interview preparation, and building the academic confidence to succeed.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost in Seaham?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Reading?
Confidence is key. Our tutors create a positive, encouraging environment where it's okay to make mistakes. By breaking down topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief and turn 'I can't' into 'I can'.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from Primary up to A-Level, we also offer support for hobbies and professional skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How long are the online tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has tools like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! You find a tutor you like, message them to arrange a time, and then meet them in our specially designed online classroom. Your child can see, hear and interact with their tutor in real-time, just like in person.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. You could have your child's first lesson booked and ready to go in less than a day.
