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 in Crowborough and thinking about the Kent 11+ in the future. Is Reception too early for a tutor?
It's not about intense 11+ preparation at this age. It's about giving your child a joyful and solid start in reading, writing, and maths. A tutor can help build their confidence and curiosity now, which is the best possible foundation for any path they take later on, without any unnecessary pressure.
We hope our child will attend a great local school like Beacon Academy. How can a tutor help now?
A tutor's main goal at this stage is to ensure your child starts primary school feeling capable and positive about learning. By making sure they are comfortable with the fundamentals, a tutor helps set them up for a happy and successful experience in any school environment.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their personality and approach. Look for someone who seems warm, engaging, and has experience making learning fun for young children.
What happens in a typical online lesson for a Reception-age child?
Lessons for young children are interactive and play-based. Tutors use fun games, digital whiteboards, storytelling, and colourful resources to keep your child engaged. They'll focus on core skills like phonics or number recognition in short, fun bursts.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
With one-to-one attention, a tutor can give constant positive reinforcement and celebrate every small win. When a child masters something they found tricky, it's a huge confidence boost. The safe, supportive space of a lesson allows them to ask questions without feeling shy.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check, and we personally interview them to ensure they are of the highest quality. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
What if we try a lesson and it's not a good fit?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have a 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 long should a lesson be for a young child?
For children in Early Years and Reception, we find that shorter lessons of 30 or 45 minutes often work best to keep them focused and engaged. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is designed to be very simple and easy to use, even for the youngest learners (with a little help from you!).
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like Maths and English, we also have talented tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills, from learning an instrument like the guitar or piano to trying a new language.
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. You'll also see it for yourself in your child's growing confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
