Tracy has a lovely teaching style and engages my daughter in her lessons very well. Over time, she has grown her interest in maths, an area she has not felt confident in. She looks forward to her lessons with Tracy which is lovely to see. Tracy's encouraging and nuturing teaching style really has drawn my daughter to appreciating and enjoy the learning experience. Many thanks Tracy!!

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
How can a tutor help my child feel ready for starting at a school like Burnham-on-Sea Infant School?
A tutor can make a huge difference. They provide gentle, one-to-one support focused on building core skills in phonics and numeracy through fun, play-based activities. More importantly, they help build your child's social confidence, so they feel prepared and excited to join their new classmates.
My child seems a bit behind their friends in our Burnham-on-Sea playgroup. Can a tutor help them catch up?
Absolutely. A private tutor can create a relaxed, pressure-free space for your child to learn at their own pace. They can identify any small gaps in understanding and use tailored games and activities to help them catch up gently, boosting their confidence along the way.
How do I pick the right Early Years tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone whose approach and personality feels like a great match for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 does online tutoring work for such a young age group?
Our tutors are experts at making online learning engaging for young children. They use our interactive whiteboard, fun games, and lots of positive encouragement to keep your child focused and happy throughout the session.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience. 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.
Are your tutors experienced in teaching young children?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in Early Years education, and some are qualified primary school teachers. We vet every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child with phonics?
A tutor can make learning phonics fun and memorable. They use proven techniques, songs, and interactive games to help your child recognise letter sounds and begin blending them into words, giving them a fantastic head start for learning to read.
How long is a typical session for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, we often find that shorter, more frequent sessions of 30 or 45 minutes work best to keep them engaged. However, our tutors are flexible and can work with you to find a lesson length that suits your child's concentration span.
Is this just for academic skills, or can you help with creative things like drawing or storytelling too?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of skills! While many parents seek help with core subjects, you can also find tutors for music, art, languages, and even coding, helping your child explore their passions.
Can I see feedback from other parents?
Of course. Each tutor's profile includes reviews and ratings from other parents just like you. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. Overall, we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
How soon can my child start lessons?
You could have your first lesson booked within a few hours. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can arrange the first session for a time that suits you both.
