Kathy F
Creative Reading tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

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
We're aiming for Bury Grammar School. Can a tutor help my child prepare for that specific 11+ exam?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the entrance exams for specific grammar schools, including those in the Bury and Trafford areas. They can help your child become familiar with the format and focus on building the exact reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills required.
My child hopes to go to the University of Manchester one day. How can reading tuition now help with that?
Strong reading and critical thinking skills are fundamental for university-level study. By building a solid foundation now, you're not just preparing your child for the 11+, but also for the demands of GCSEs, A-Levels, and eventually their degree. A tutor can help them become a more analytical and confident reader, which is a vital skill for higher education.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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 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 clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. When they have a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement, and start seeing themselves make real progress, their self-belief grows. This newfound confidence often extends beyond Reading into their other school subjects.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn a hobby?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. The goal is steady, sustainable progress that builds a strong foundation for the long term.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each session to let you know how your child is getting on and what they'll be covering next. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With detailed profiles, video introductions, and reviews from over 4,100 parents giving us a 4.6-star rating, we make it easy to find an expert you can trust. We're here to provide the one-to-one support that helps your child thrive.
