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.

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 South Benfleet?
It's simple to find the perfect match. 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 directly to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in South Benfleet schools?
Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are very familiar with the UK National Curriculum used in schools across Essex. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and qualifications, and you can message them to ask about their familiarity with your child's schoolwork.
My child is preparing for the Essex 11+ exam. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. We have many specialist tutors who are experienced in preparing children for the 11+ entrance exams, including the specific requirements for Essex grammar schools. They can help your child build confidence and skills in the English and verbal reasoning sections.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online Reading lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a video chat and a shared whiteboard. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down sentence structures, share engaging texts to read together, or work on comprehension exercises. Each session is tailored to your child's specific goals.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Reading?
Confidence is key. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. 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.
What qualifications do your tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including experienced teachers, university lecturers, and subject matter experts. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, and only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted. Every tutor is background-checked, and you can see their full qualifications on their profile.
How long are the online tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's age and concentration span.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. This allows your child to build on what they've learned and gain momentum. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from guitar and coding to a new language.
How does scheduling work if we have a busy family life?
Our platform makes scheduling easy and flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions at times that suit your family. If something comes up, you can easily reschedule a lesson with your tutor, subject to their cancellation policy.
