Rachael T
Rachael has been teaching my son, who recently started reception, and her impact has been remarkable. She quickly identified the areas where he needed extra support and has been incredibly intentional in tailoring her lessons. The detailed feedback she provides is invaluable, helping us understand how to support him effectively at home. My son genuinely looks forward to his classes with her, and although I was initially concerned about his ability to focus during an online session, he now asks eagerly every day if he'll be seeing Mrs Rachael again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child will be starting Reception in Berkhamsted. Can a tutor help them feel ready for the classroom?
Absolutely. A tutor can provide gentle, one-to-one support to help your child build foundational skills in phonics, reading, and numbers in a fun and engaging way. This can make a huge difference in helping them feel confident and prepared for a fast-paced classroom environment from their very first day.
We are considering schools like Berkhamsted School for the future. Can a tutor help build the right foundations from an early age?
Yes. While our tutors focus on curriculum goals, they are brilliant at nurturing a genuine love for learning. By building strong foundational skills and confidence from Reception, a tutor can help set your child on a positive path for their entire educational journey, preparing them for future steps.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
Think about what your child responds to best. You can watch tutors' intro videos to get a feel for their personality and read reviews from other parents. Many of our tutors are Early Years specialists or primary teachers, so they have lots of experience making learning fun and accessible for young children.
How does online tutoring work for such young children?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Tutors use fun features like a digital whiteboard, games, and colourful resources to keep young children focused. It allows them to learn from the comfort and familiarity of their own home, which can be a great help.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and background. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How long is a typical session for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, sessions are often shorter to keep them engaged. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute lessons. You can discuss what works best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How will a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor makes a huge difference. They create a safe space where your child can try things without fear of getting it wrong. Celebrating small wins in each session helps build their self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.
Is it all about reading and numbers, or can you help with creative skills or other subjects?
While many parents seek help with core skills, we have tutors for over 300 subjects. This includes everything from music and art to languages and even coding for kids. You can find a tutor to support almost any interest your child has.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, browse our expert tutors, and send a message to the one you feel is the best fit. Many tutors reply within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked within a day.
What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring at this age?
The main benefit is personalised attention. In a one-to-one setting, the tutor can adapt their teaching style completely to your child, focusing on the exact areas where they need a little extra support or encouragement, which can be difficult in a busy classroom.
