I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities.

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
My child goes to a local school in Swinton. Can a tutor help with their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are very familiar with the national curriculum and exam board specifications used in schools across Swinton and Salford. They can help your child understand key topics, improve their skills, and build confidence in line with what they're learning at school.
We're thinking about the 11+ for grammar schools in the Greater Manchester area. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?
Yes, we have many tutors who are specialists in 11+ preparation. They have experience with the specific formats and requirements for entry into grammar schools across Greater Manchester and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel prepared and confident for the exams.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
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.
How do online lessons actually 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. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, and you can access recordings of past sessions anytime.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in reading?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor provides a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child’s self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How much does private Reading tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly shown on their profiles. This transparency means you can find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview our tutors and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It’s for so much more! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, you can also find tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have tutors who can help.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor, and there are no long-term contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
What are the benefits of one-to-one tuition compared to a group class?
In a one-to-one lesson, the tutor's attention is focused solely on your child. This means they can tailor the pace and content of the lesson completely to your child's learning style and specific needs, which is something that's just not possible in a group setting.
How do I know if the tutoring is making a difference?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see improvements in their confidence and schoolwork. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents consistently tell us about the positive difference tutoring makes for their children.
