Building a Happy, Confident Foundation for School
A positive start in Reception is about so much more than just learning the alphabet; it’s about building a lifelong love of learning. When your child feels successful in these early stages, it sets a happy tone for their entire school journey. Mastering early phonics and numeracy gives them the essential building blocks they'll need for everything that follows, from reading their first favourite storybook to confidently tackling maths problems years later.

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 is used to a play-based nursery in Frome. Can a tutor help them adjust to the structure of Reception?
Absolutely. This is a common concern and our tutors are experts at making learning feel like play. They can introduce phonics and numbers through fun games and activities, gently building your child’s confidence and readiness for the classroom without the pressure.
We're worried about our child keeping up at one of Frome's popular primary schools. Can tutoring help?
Yes, it can make a big difference. A tutor can give your child a little head start and a lot of confidence before they even walk through the school gates. By familiarising them with the basics of reading, writing, and numeracy in a supportive one-to-one setting, they'll feel more prepared and less overwhelmed from day one.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check ratings from other parents (we have a 4.6/5 star rating from over 4,100 reviews), and even send introductory messages to chat with them before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child will click with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have 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 feel more confident about starting school?
Confidence comes from feeling capable. In their one-to-one lessons, your child gets a safe space to ask questions and practise new skills without any fear of getting it wrong. Gentle encouragement and celebrating small wins helps them see that learning is fun, which is the best way to prepare for school.
How much does Early Years and Reception tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts to worry about.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long are the online lessons for a young child?
You can choose the lesson length that works best for your child. For younger children in Early Years or Reception, shorter sessions of 30 or 45 minutes are often very effective at keeping them focused and engaged.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop, computer, or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is designed to be easy to use and works directly in your web browser.
How does online tutoring for a Reception-age child actually work?
Our online classroom is interactive and fun! Tutors use a digital whiteboard, share their screen, and use engaging educational games and resources to make learning visual and hands-on, just like being in the same room.
Do you offer tutoring for skills beyond school subjects, like learning an instrument?
We do! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also have experts who can teach your child skills like playing the guitar, coding, or even learning a new language. It's all about helping them discover new passions.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. It completely depends on your family's goals. Some parents book a few lessons to prepare for the start of school, while others prefer a regular weekly session to provide ongoing support. You are in complete control and there are no contracts.
