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
My child is preparing for the 11+. Can I find a tutor with experience in entrance exams for local grammar schools?
Absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in verbal reasoning, comprehension, and the types of questions found in grammar school entrance exams. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're considering the Stamford Endowed Schools. Can a tutor help prepare my child for their entrance assessments?
Yes, they can. A one-to-one tutor can work with your child to build the advanced reading comprehension and vocabulary skills needed for competitive entrance exams like those for the Stamford Endowed Schools. They can tailor sessions to focus on the specific areas your child needs to strengthen.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's goals before booking a lesson.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does a Reading tutor in Stamford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down tricky topics and praise small wins, which helps build self-esteem. As your child sees their skills improve, their confidence in their own abilities naturally grows.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like Reading?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also believe in learning for life. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a new language or musical instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, like an interactive whiteboard, so you don't need any special software.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically an hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we start?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors are available to start within a few days.
How does Tutorful help 90% of students improve by a grade?
Our students see great results because the learning is completely personalised. Tutors focus on your child's individual learning gaps and adapt their teaching style to suit them. This targeted support is highly effective at helping students understand concepts they struggled with in class, leading to real improvement.
