Why Strong Reading Skills Open Doors for Your Child
Reading isn't just about passing a test; it's the foundation for all learning. When your child reads confidently, they can do more than just understand a story. They can analyse a poem, get to grips with a complex History textbook, or follow a tricky science experiment. These skills are vital for success in text-heavy GCSEs and are exactly what top sixth forms and universities look for. Strong reading comprehension gives your child the tools to succeed in their studies and opens up a world of opportunity.

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 aiming for a competitive secondary like Mulberry School for Girls. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help build the strong reading comprehension and critical thinking skills that are essential for thriving in a demanding secondary school environment. They can work with your child on the specific skills needed to access a more challenging curriculum with confidence.
We live in Tower Hamlets and want our child to have the best chance of attending a London university. Can a Reading tutor help with this long-term goal?
Yes, building strong reading skills early is one of the best ways to prepare for future academic success. Excellent reading comprehension is fundamental for high grades in GCSEs and A-Levels, which are crucial for applications to top universities in London and across the UK.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How much does an online Reading tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in Reading?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to learn at their own pace. By celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief and foster a genuine enjoyment for reading.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss arranging longer or shorter sessions directly with your chosen tutor.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background checked before they can teach on our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn Python, master the piano, or even learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to support their interests and hobbies.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you and your child need, which you can discuss directly with your tutor.
Can a tutor help my child if they have dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have specific experience and qualifications in supporting students with learning differences like dyslexia. You can check their profiles for this information or use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in this area.
