My daughter has been having tutoring session with Jo for some time now, her reading has improved so much in that time. My daughter can be quite shy but she settled with Jo very quickly and she makes the lesson engaging and fun.Would recommend to anyone who needs some help for their child who is behind at school.

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.

We're aiming for a place at a competitive Worcester school like King's or RGS. Can a tutor help?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation. They can help your child build the specific reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills needed for the 11+ and independent school exams. You can check their profiles for this experience and message them for free to discuss your child's needs.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a Worcester grammar school. Is this something a tutor can help with?
Absolutely. A Reading tutor can focus on the key areas of the 11+ verbal reasoning and English papers, helping your child build speed, accuracy, and confidence with exam-style questions. They create a supportive environment to practise and improve.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know 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 do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction video to get a feel for their personality and messaging a few to find the perfect match for your child before booking.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it’s easy for your child to work on everything from phonics to analysing texts with their tutor in real-time.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from an expert tutor can make a huge difference. By working at your child's pace in a supportive setting, they can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, celebrate small wins, and start to see that they are capable of succeeding.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants. All our tutors are background-checked and we verify their ID and qualifications to ensure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Do you only offer tutors for academic subjects?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like Maths and English, we also have experts who can help your child learn practical skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language for fun.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family directly with your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The biggest sign for many parents is seeing their child's confidence grow and their attitude towards reading improve.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what they enjoy, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship from the very start.
