Professional Early Years and Reception tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child will be going to a primary school in Alfreton. Can a tutor help them feel ready?

Absolutely. A tutor can provide gentle, one-to-one support to ensure your child has a firm grasp of the core phonics and number skills they'll need. This targeted help can make a huge difference in helping them feel prepared and excited to join their new classmates.

We're thinking ahead to secondary schools like the David Nieper Academy. Is it too early to build a strong foundation?

It's never too early to build confidence and a love for learning. The skills and positive attitude your child develops in Reception are the bedrock for their entire school journey. A strong, happy start can set them on a great path for the future.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

Finding the right personality match is so important, especially for young children. 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 pick the right Early Years tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before you book. Look for someone whose approach feels right for your child's personality – perhaps they're extra patient, or they make learning into a fun game.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

How does online tutoring work for a young child?

Our online classroom is designed to be engaging and fun. Tutors use an interactive whiteboard, fun resources, and a friendly approach to keep your child focused. It’s a safe, one-to-one space where they can learn comfortably from home.

Can a tutor help boost my child's confidence?

This is one of the biggest benefits we see. The patient, one-to-one attention from a tutor helps children feel heard and understood. Celebrating small wins in a supportive space can do wonders for their self-esteem and willingness to try new things.

How much does online tutoring cost in Alfreton?

Our Early Years and Reception tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.

How long should a lesson be for a child in Reception?

For this age group, we often find that shorter, more frequent sessions work best. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute lessons to keep their child engaged and focused. You can discuss the ideal length with your tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can chat with them at the end of a session or through our messaging system. They'll share what they've been working on and highlight the progress your child is making.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to exploring coding or a new language, we have expert tutors who can help your child discover new passions.

What happens in the first lesson?

The first session is all about getting to know your child. The tutor will use fun, informal activities to understand their learning style, what they enjoy, and where they might need a bit of extra support. It's a relaxed way to start building a great relationship.
