Why Strong Reading is the Key to Your Child's Future
Being a confident reader is about so much more than passing an English exam. It’s the foundation for all learning. It’s the skill your child uses to understand a science textbook, analyse sources in a history project, or even follow complex instructions in a design class. Strong reading opens doors, giving your child the best chance to achieve the GCSEs they need for A-Levels, secure a place at college, or start a great career.

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 attends Workington Academy. Can a tutor help them with the reading demands across all subjects?
Absolutely. Our tutors understand that strong reading skills are vital for success in every subject, not just English. They can work with your child to improve their comprehension and analytical skills, which will help them confidently tackle textbooks and resources in subjects like History, Geography, and Science.
We're hoping for a place at Lakes College after GCSEs. Can a tutor help build the reading skills needed for that?
Yes, they can. A tutor can help your child build the strong reading and comprehension skills needed to succeed in their GCSEs and prepare them for the demands of further education at places like Lakes College. They can focus on the specific skills required for vocational courses or A-Levels.
How do I choose the right reading tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 can a tutor help my child become a more confident reader?
A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of getting things wrong. By celebrating small wins and tailoring lessons to their interests, a tutor can help transform reading from a chore into something your child enjoys.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online reading tuition 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 expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn something different?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
Every child learns differently, so there's no set number. However, many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistency is key, and your tutor can help create a plan that works for your child.
What age groups do your reading tutors teach?
Our tutors can help children of all ages, from building foundational phonics skills in primary school right through to analysing complex texts for A-Levels and beyond. You can filter your search to find a tutor with experience teaching your child's specific age group.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is taken automatically from the card you have on file. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history from your Tutorful account.
