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 preparing for the 11+ for Sutton or Kingston grammars. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced with 11+ preparation. They can help your child get to grips with the specific demands of the verbal reasoning and English papers, building both their skills and their confidence before exam day.
My child is aiming for a competitive school like King's College School. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in preparing students for entrance exams to leading independent schools. Many tutors mention their expertise in their profile bios, so you can find the perfect match for your child's goals.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. We recommend reading tutor profiles, checking their experience and qualifications, and watching their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs. With over 4,100 reviews from parents like you, our 4.6-star rating can give you extra confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Reading tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and notes. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, a tutor can break down topics your child finds tricky, celebrate their progress, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. This personalised attention makes a huge difference.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's a short-term boost before an exam or regular weekly support.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child and their goals. Some students work with a tutor for a few months to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from ongoing support throughout the school year. It's a conversation you can have with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way to track progress is by communicating directly with your child's tutor. They will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is getting on, what they've been working on, and what the plan is for future lessons.
