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
We're hoping for a place at Buxton Infant or Burbage Primary. Can a tutor help my child feel prepared?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build confidence in the core skills of early phonics and numeracy, which are key for the transition into Reception. By making learning fun and engaging, they can help your child feel ready and excited to start at their new school.
Are your tutors familiar with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum used in Buxton schools?
Many of our Early Years tutors are experienced teachers or teaching assistants who are very familiar with the EYFS framework used in primary schools across the UK, including in Buxton. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and qualifications.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
The best way is to watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to a few you like the look of. Look for someone who seems warm, engaging, and has experience with your child's age group. A quick chat can tell you a lot about whether they'll be a good fit.
How can a tutor make online learning engaging for a young child?
Our tutors are brilliant at making online lessons feel like fun! They use interactive tools, digital whiteboards, educational games, stories, and songs to keep young children engaged and focused. The one-to-one attention means the session is always tailored to your child's interests.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 know my child is safe online with a Tutorful tutor?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a thorough vetting process. All lessons take place in our secure online classroom, which is designed to be a safe and positive learning environment.
How much does an Early Years tutor in Buxton cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but typically range from £15 to £35 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How long is a typical tutoring session for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, we often find that shorter, more frequent sessions of 30-45 minutes work best to keep them engaged. However, you can discuss this with your chosen tutor to find a lesson length that works perfectly for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session, letting you know what they covered and how your child is getting on. This open communication ensures you're always part of their learning journey.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence as well as their learning?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention and positive reinforcement from a tutor can do wonders for a child's self-esteem, helping them feel more confident both in and out of the classroom.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have tutors who can help your child explore other interests. You can find tutors for skills like learning an instrument, drawing, coding, and even learning a new language.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours.
