Tracy M
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 King Charles C of E or St Mary's. Can a tutor help my child feel ready for Reception there?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in building the core phonics and numeracy skills that will help your child feel confident and prepared for starting Reception. They can tailor sessions to focus on school readiness, ensuring a smooth and happy transition into their new classroom.
My child is starting school soon in the Cornish system. How can a tutor ensure they don't fall behind?
A tutor provides personalised, one-to-one attention that can be difficult to get in a busy classroom. By identifying and strengthening any tricky areas early on, a tutor helps build a solid foundation, preventing small wobbles from becoming bigger gaps later on and ensuring a positive start to their education.
How do I choose the right Early Years and Reception tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by experience and price. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will really connect with.
How much does online tutoring cost in Falmouth?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from as little as £15. The price is based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection 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 young children?
Our online classroom is designed to be fun and interactive. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, games, and screen sharing to make learning engaging. It's a great way for young children to learn in a familiar and comfortable environment – your own home.
Can a tutor help if my child is shy or lacks confidence?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a wonderful way to help a shy child build confidence. In a supportive and patient environment, they can ask questions freely and learn at their own pace without the pressure of a full classroom.
How long does a typical lesson last for a young child?
For Early Years and Reception, lessons are typically 30 to 45 minutes long to keep your child engaged and focused. However, you can discuss the ideal lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because it's one-to-one, they get to know your child's learning style well and can share insights on their achievements and areas they're working on together.
Do you offer tutoring in anything besides core school subjects?
Yes, we do! While we have experts in over 300 academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some children benefit from a few sessions to boost their confidence in a specific area, while others enjoy weekly lessons for ongoing support. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to create a plan that's right for you.
