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 may go to North Durham Academy. Can a tutor help them prepare for the reading demands of secondary school?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we work with. A tutor can help bridge the gap between primary and secondary school by building your child's reading stamina, vocabulary, and comprehension skills, ensuring they feel ready and confident for the challenge ahead.
We live in Stanley. How does online tutoring work if the tutor isn't local?
Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. Your child will meet their tutor in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard and video chat, making lessons just as effective as being in the same room. It saves you travel time and gives you a much wider choice of expert tutors.
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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs. Look for someone whose profile resonates with you and who has experience helping children with similar goals.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How much does online Reading tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
What happens in a typical online reading lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. It might involve working on phonics with interactive games, reading a book together and discussing the plot, practising comprehension techniques, or building vocabulary. The tutor will focus on whatever area your child needs the most support with.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they notice a difference in their child's confidence and enthusiasm within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we're here to help with core skills like Reading and Maths, your child could also learn to play the guitar, get help with creative writing, or even learn coding.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and writing, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can I get feedback on my child's progress?
Of course. Your tutor will be happy to provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can easily message them through the platform to ask questions, discuss progress, and work together to support your child's learning journey.
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.
