Thinking about getting a reading tutor for your child? Whether your child is struggling with reading in primary school or prepping for their GCSEs, a good reading tutor can provide the support they need.

As a fundamental skill, your child will need to quickly gain a strong foundation in reading if they want to pass their exams and reach the academic success they deserve. While school is a great environment to learn to read, sometimes there isn’t enough support for children who are finding reading challenging.

Thankfully, there are plenty of experienced and highly supportive reading tutors available on Superprof. From improving your child’s reading comprehension skills to boosting their confidence in English literature, our tutors can turn reading from a chore into a passion. Join today and choose from over 159,000 highly experienced reading tutors across the UK.

What Can A Reading Tutor Offer?

Reading tutors bring a wealth of experience and tailored teaching methods to the table. For primary school students, especially those needing extra support (like SEN students), a reading tutor can be a game changer.

By focusing on the key stages of learning, they’ll help your child quickly grasp the fundamentals of reading as well as related school topics like English language studies and literature.

What’s more, as well as helping your child improve their grades at school, your tutor will also help them boost their confidence. Imagine your child finishing their lesson and coming in excited because they finally understand a tricky word or concept. That's what a good reading tutor does— they make learning fun and engaging.

Additionally, a skilled reading tutor can also adapt their lessons to suit your child's own individual needs. Whether they’re having trouble with phonics, comprehension, or reading fluency, your tutor will develop a specific and well-thought-out plan to address and help them improve rapidly in these areas.

What Should You Expect from Reading Lessons?

When you hire a reading tutor for your child, you can expect lessons that are engaging, interactive, and tailored to their specific needs. Your tutor will begin by assessing their current reading level and identifying areas where they need extra support.

From there, they'll develop a personalised lesson plan that incorporates a variety of teaching methods and activities to keep your child interested and motivated. During lessons, they’ll be guided through a range of different reading skills, including phonics, sight words, comprehension, and fluency.

What’s more, if your little one is easily bored, your tutor will add in a variety of engaging games and puzzles to keep them engaged and having fun. Want to know about how your child is getting on? No problem at all, your tutor will be happy to provide you with regular feedback and updates so you can see where they’re making progress.

Lastly, they'll also be available to answer any questions you have and offer guidance on how you can continue to support your child's reading journey at home.

How Much Are Reading Lessons?

Generally, reading lessons are not overly expensive. On average, you can expect to pay £50 on the high end, and £20 on the low end for an hour-long session with a reading tutor.

That being said, bear in mind that some tutors will charge more if they’re highly experienced or have the relevant qualifications to back up their pricing. Thankfully, online tutoring is a great cost alternative option for those with tighter budgets - in fact, it offers the same level of personalisation and tuition without the added cost of travel on top.

Plus, you’ll also have the choice to pick from a bigger range of reading tutors from around the UK instead of one local to your town or city. Here on Superprof, many of our reading tutors offer parents the chance to enrol their children in one free trial lesson as an opportunity for you to see whether the tutor is a good match or not. So, don’t forget to take advantage of this!
