It's where your child develops a relationship with school, and a positive start can make all the difference. Mastering early phonics turns squiggles on a page into exciting stories, while understanding basic numbers helps them make sense of the world. These core skills don't just prepare them for Year 1; they build the confidence they'll carry with them right through the Rotherham school system and beyond.

I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities.

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
My child will be starting at a school in Dinnington like St Joseph's or Dinnington Community. Can a tutor help them feel prepared?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping children build the core skills and confidence needed for the transition to primary school. They can create fun, play-based sessions focusing on 'school readiness' skills like phonics, number recognition, and even social skills like taking turns, so your child feels ready and excited to join their new classmates.
We live in Dinnington. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring is a perfect fit for families in Dinnington. It saves you travel time and means you can access the very best Early Years tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection. Your child can learn from the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience. The best approach is to message a few tutors to explain what you're looking for. This helps you get a feel for their personality and find someone you and your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. 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 much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £15. The price is displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence for starting school?
Confidence often comes from feeling capable. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets the tutor's full, patient attention. They can ask questions without feeling shy and celebrate small wins. This positive reinforcement in a safe space is fantastic for building the self-esteem they need to thrive in a busy classroom.
What happens in a typical online session for a young child?
Sessions for young children are active, engaging, and fun! Tutors use interactive tools like online whiteboards, games, songs, and stories to teach concepts like phonics and numbers. The focus is on learning through play to keep your child focused and happy.
How long should a session be for a Reception-age child?
For this age group, we find that shorter, more frequent sessions are often most effective. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute lessons to match their child's attention span. You can discuss the ideal length with your chosen tutor, as they can tailor it to your child's needs.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have tutors for all core subjects from Early Years to A-Level, we also offer a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding, languages, and even chess. It's all about helping your child explore their interests.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session. You can see what they've been working on and the progress your child is making. The platform also allows you to message your tutor anytime, so you can always stay in the loop and work together to support your child's learning.
Can I speak to a tutor before I book a lesson?
Yes, of course. We encourage you to send a message to any tutor you're interested in before booking. You can ask them about their experience, their approach to teaching young children, and any other questions you have to make sure they're the perfect fit for your family.
