Why Strong Reading is the Key to Your Child's Success
Reading isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for almost all learning. Without confident reading skills, it's harder for your child to access the entire secondary curriculum – from analysing quotes in English literature to understanding word problems in Maths. Building this core skill now helps secure their GCSE results and opens up future opportunities, whether that's a course at Barnsley College or a local apprenticeship.

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 preparing for Netherwood Academy. Can a tutor help with this specific transition?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping children make the important step up to secondary school. They can work with your child to build the reading comprehension and fluency skills needed to confidently tackle the Year 7 curriculum from day one.
We're already thinking about future options like Barnsley College. How can reading tuition help now?
That's great forward planning. Strong reading skills are essential for success in further education and beyond. A tutor can help build that solid foundation now, ensuring your child can fully access their GCSE courses, which in turn opens up more opportunities at college or in apprenticeships.
How do I choose the best Reading tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality fit for your child.
How much do online Reading tutors in Wombwell cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £35 per hour. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor improve my child's confidence in reading?
Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of 'getting it wrong' in front of a class. Tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can build skills at their own pace, celebrating small wins that lead to big confidence boosts.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to work with their tutor in a fun and engaging way, all from the comfort of your home.
How long will it take to see my child make progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to spoken French and digital art.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily reschedule or cancel lessons with your tutor, usually up to 24 hours beforehand. Just pop them a message through the platform to arrange a new time that works for you both.
How many students have used Tutorful?
Your child will be in great company! We've helped over 200,000 students find the perfect tutor and achieve their learning goals. We're proud to have over 4,100 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars.
