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 Walkden High School. Can a tutor help them prepare for the step up?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping children make the transition from primary to secondary school. They can work with your child to strengthen their reading comprehension and analytical skills, ensuring they feel confident and ready for the new academic challenges.
We're thinking about post-16 options like Salford City College. How can reading tuition help?
Strong reading and comprehension skills are vital for success in almost all post-16 courses. A tutor can help your child master the ability to understand and analyse complex texts, which is a key skill for A-Levels and vocational courses at colleges like Salford City College or Worsley College, opening up more future opportunities.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If for any reason you and your child 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. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory video. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find the best match.
How much does online Reading tuition cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in Reading?
This is one of the most important things a tutor does. By creating a safe, encouraging space and tailoring lessons to your child's pace, a tutor can rebuild their self-belief. Celebrating small wins helps turn anxiety into a positive attitude towards learning.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
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. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's reading skills?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. With regular weekly lessons, many parents tell us they see a noticeable boost in their child's confidence and skills within just a few weeks. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer tutors for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! From learning a musical instrument like guitar to practical skills like coding or even a new language, we believe in supporting all of your child's interests.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. After each lesson, the tutor will provide feedback for you. You can also message your tutor at any time through the platform to discuss your child's progress and goals.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! It's easy to reschedule a lesson. As long as you give your tutor more than 24 hours' notice, you can arrange a new time that works for both of you directly through the platform, free of charge.
