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 worried about the 4+ assessments for schools like Garden House or Hill House. How can an online tutor help?
We completely understand the pressure surrounding these assessments in Chelsea. Our specialist Early Years tutors focus on building the core skills—like early phonics, number sense, and social interaction skills—through engaging, play-based activities. It's not about cramming; it's about building genuine confidence and readiness so your child can be their best self in any assessment setting.
Do your tutors understand the competitive nature of early years education in Chelsea?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting families in highly competitive areas. They understand the expectations of London pre-preps but their approach is always child-centred. They focus on reducing anxiety by making learning fun and empowering, ensuring your child develops a positive attitude towards their education from the very beginning.
Is online tutoring really effective for such young children?
It is, and it can be wonderful! Our Early Years specialists are experts at using the online format to their advantage with interactive games, digital whiteboards, and screen-sharing stories. For many children, learning from the comfort and familiarity of their own home helps them to relax and engage more deeply than they might in a new environment.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is so important, especially for young learners. We're here to help you find the perfect fit. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How are your Early Years tutors selected and vetted?
We're incredibly selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous application process, including an interview and a full DBS background check. We specifically look for tutors with proven experience and a passion for making learning positive and engaging for young children.
What does a typical session look like for a Reception-age child?
Sessions are active, varied, and fun to keep your child engaged. A 45 or 60-minute session might include a mix of activities: a phonics game, a number-based story, a creative mark-making exercise on the online whiteboard, and a 'show and tell' to build communication skills. The tutor will tailor every part of the lesson to your child's interests and energy levels on the day.
My child is very creative. Do you offer tutoring beyond core skills?
Absolutely. Whilst many parents seek support with phonics and numbers, our tutors can also help nurture creativity. We have tutors who specialise in early years art, music, and storytelling, helping to build a well-rounded and confident young learner. You can find a tutor who perfectly matches your child's passions.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
For this age group, consistency is more important than frequency. Most families find that one session per week is ideal. This creates a positive routine and gives your child time to absorb what they've learnt without feeling overwhelmed. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be user-friendly for both parents and children.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident about starting school?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits. One-to-one attention from a caring tutor helps children feel seen and heard. By celebrating small wins and gently building their skills, a tutor can give them a huge confidence boost, making the transition to a formal school environment feel much less daunting and a lot more exciting.
How much do online Early Years tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child is very creative. Do you offer tutoring beyond core skills?
It's straightforward. Simply use the search function on our website to browse Early Years and Reception tutors. You can read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can then message a few tutors for free to find the perfect partner for your child's learning journey.
