Primary reading tutors work on fluency, comprehension and a love of books. From helping reluctant readers engage with stories to preparing children for KS2 comprehension tests, a reading tutor provides the individual attention that builds both skill and confidence.

Why students need help
Reading is the foundation of all academic learning. Children who struggle to read fluently or understand what they read fall further behind across every subject as the curriculum becomes more text-heavy. Early intervention from a specialist reading tutor prevents compounding gaps.
How much does a primary Reading tutor cost in Horsham?
Primary Reading tutors in Horsham typically charge £20–£45 per hour, depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. On TutorLab, every tutor sets their own rate and displays it on their profile before you make contact — no hidden agency fees or commission on top.
How often should my child have primary Reading tutoring?
Once a week is the most common arrangement and is enough for consistent progress. Some families increase to twice a week in the run-up to the SATs or 11 Plus. Regularity matters more than frequency — a session every week at the same time builds routine and makes it easier for children to sustain focus.
What should I look for in a primary Reading tutor in Horsham?
Look for a tutor with experience teaching children at primary school level, not just the subject in general. Check whether they have worked with your child's year group specifically and whether they are familiar with the primary curriculum and assessment format. Ask whether they do an initial assessment, how they track progress and how they communicate with parents. A short introductory session before committing to regular sessions is always a good idea.
