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 Kingsfleet or Fairfield. Can a tutor help them prepare for that specific environment?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build the core skills in phonics, numbers, and social interaction that will help them feel confident and ready for a busy classroom. A positive start at a great local school can make all the difference to their love of learning.
We live in Felixstowe. Are the tutors familiar with the Early Years curriculum used in local Suffolk schools?
Many of our tutors are experienced teachers and teaching assistants who are very familiar with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum used across the UK, including in Suffolk. They can tailor sessions to ensure your child is on the right track for starting school locally.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain what you're looking for. It’s all about finding a personality that you feel your child will respond well to.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence and social skills?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to express themselves. Tutors use games, stories, and conversation to help practise turn-taking, listening, and sharing ideas, which are fantastic for building the social confidence needed for the classroom and playground.
Can tutoring help my child with their phonics before they start school?
Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek an Early Years tutor. Our tutors use fun, play-based methods to introduce letter sounds and blending, giving your child a brilliant head start with reading.
How does online tutoring work for such young children?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for young learners, with interactive tools like a whiteboard for drawing and games. Tutors are skilled at keeping sessions lively and fun, using puppets, songs, and activities to hold your child's attention.
What qualifications do your Early Years tutors have?
Our tutors come from a range of professional backgrounds, including experienced primary school teachers and early years practitioners. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, and every tutor is background-checked for your peace of mind.
How much does an Early Years tutor cost in Felixstowe?
The price varies depending on the tutor's experience. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can browse tutors to find one that fits your family's budget, with no hidden costs or fees.
How long is a typical tutoring session for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, sessions are often shorter to keep them engaged. Many tutors offer 30 or 45-minute lessons, which is usually the perfect amount of time for them to learn and have fun without losing focus. You can discuss the ideal length with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for academic skills, or can you help with creative things like music or drawing too?
While we have many tutors for core subjects, we also have talented tutors who can help your child explore their creative side! You can find tutors for a whole range of skills, from learning the guitar to drawing and even coding.
How many sessions will my child need?
There's no set number. Some parents use tutoring for a short boost before school starts, while others prefer regular weekly sessions to build skills over time. It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs and your goals.
