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.

Brilliant Reading tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is hoping to go to Gower College Swansea. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help build the core reading and comprehension skills your child will need to confidently tackle their college courses. By strengthening this foundation, they'll be better prepared for the academic demands ahead.
Are your tutors familiar with the WJEC and the Welsh curriculum?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience with the Welsh curriculum and WJEC exam board. You can check each tutor's profile for their experience and even message them before booking to ensure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find someone your child will get on well with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best experience. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, tutors can break down concepts in a way that makes sense to your child, celebrate small wins, and create a positive learning environment where it's safe to make mistakes. This patient, personalised support is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How much does online Reading tuition in Swansea cost?
The price of tuition varies as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can easily see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget.
How does online tutoring work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of our tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tuition. The key is consistency and the strong partnership your child builds with their tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their passions.
We live in Swansea, but are the tutors based there too?
Because all our tutoring is online, you can connect with the very best Reading tutors from across the UK, not just those in the Swansea area. This gives you a much wider choice of experts to find the perfect fit for your child.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find tricky, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a learning plan that's tailored to them.
