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
We're aiming for King Edward VI School or a Salisbury grammar. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the strong reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills needed for the entrance exams, working on everything from vocabulary to understanding complex texts under pressure.
My child is older. Can a tutor help them with A-Levels and their University of Southampton application?
Of course. Strong reading and analytical skills are essential for A-Levels and university. A tutor can help your child master advanced critical reading, essay structuring, and textual analysis, which are vital for their studies and for writing a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
Are the tutors safe and vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit. With 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.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden costs. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost their confidence with reading. Can a tutor help?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is building confidence. Tutors create a patient, encouraging, and positive space where your child can learn at their own pace, celebrate small wins, and rediscover their enjoyment of reading.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, but you can arrange a different lesson length with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit what works best for your child and your family's schedule.
How quickly will I see results?
Every child learns differently, but our goal is to make progress they can feel. Building confidence and understanding takes time, but the consistent, personalised support from a tutor makes a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring just for school subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, many of our tutors also offer lessons in hobbies and life skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar to coding in Python.
Our family schedule is very busy. Is it easy to fit lessons in?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. There's no travel time involved, and you can find tutors who offer lessons in the evenings or at weekends to fit around school, clubs, and other commitments.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
