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 Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for the academic demands of top sixth-form colleges like Peter Symonds. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills your child will need to excel in their A-Levels and beyond.
We live in Winchester, but can we choose a tutor from anywhere in the UK?
Yes, that’s one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring! You have access to our entire network of expert, background-checked tutors from across the UK. This means you can find the perfect match for your child's specific needs and personality, regardless of their location.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. 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 I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's goals. Look for someone with experience in the specific areas your child needs help with, whether that's phonics or analysing poetry for GCSEs.
How can a tutor help my child with reading comprehension specifically?
A tutor can break down complex texts into manageable parts, teach techniques for identifying main ideas and themes, and help your child build a stronger vocabulary. Through one-to-one practice, they can work on inference skills and build the confidence to tackle any text they encounter in their exams.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and improved results at school. Many parents tell us they notice a positive change in their child's attitude towards a subject after just a few sessions.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence, not just grades?
When a subject feels difficult, it can really knock a child's confidence. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down challenges and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they *can* succeed, which is a feeling that extends far beyond the classroom.
How much does online Reading tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert tutor that fits your budget with no hidden costs.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, and it's not all academic! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, you can also find experts to help your child learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even get to grips with coding.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. Many parents find a weekly session works best to build momentum, but the frequency is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Are the tutors qualified to help with GCSE and A-Level texts?
Yes, many of our Reading tutors are specialists in the GCSE and A-Level curricula. You can check their profiles for specific experience with exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR, ensuring they can help your child master the exact texts and skills they need for their exams.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple and easy to use. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a document sharing feature. It's a secure and engaging space designed specifically for one-to-one learning.
