Carole G
Professional Early Years and Reception tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're in Gainsborough and hoping for a place at a strong primary school. Can a tutor help our child start Reception confidently?

Absolutely. A tutor can help your child build foundational skills in a fun, pressure-free way. By focusing on areas like phonics, early number skills, and social confidence, they can help your child feel prepared and excited to start their school journey, which is the best preparation for any school environment.

With Queen Elizabeth's High School in mind for the future, is it too early to think about extra support in Reception?

It's never too early to build a love for learning. At this stage, tutoring isn't about intense 11+ preparation. It's about nurturing your child's natural curiosity and confidence. A positive, engaging start in Reception builds the strong foundation they'll need for all future learning, without any of the pressure.

How do you choose your Early Years and Reception tutors?

We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. We look for individuals who not only have teaching experience but also a patient and engaging approach that works well for young children. All our tutors are background-checked, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.

How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with many offering a free introductory chat.

How does online tutoring work for a young child?

Our online classroom is designed to be fun and interactive. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, drawing tools, and educational games to keep young children engaged. Sessions are often shorter to match their attention spans, ensuring learning stays playful and effective.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your first 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?

One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. A tutor can praise your child's efforts, gently correct mistakes, and celebrate their progress. This personalised encouragement in a safe space helps them see that they *can* do it, which is a fantastic confidence booster.

How long are the tutoring sessions for a child in Reception?

Tutors are very flexible. For younger children, sessions are often shorter, perhaps 30 or 45 minutes, to ensure they stay focused and engaged. You can discuss and agree on the perfect session length directly with your chosen tutor.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning an instrument like the guitar to coding, drawing, and even public speaking.

How quickly can I find a tutor for my child in Gainsborough?

You can find and message tutors straight away. Many of our tutors reply within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson set up within a day or two. It's a quick and simple process.

What do you mean by 'background-checked'?

For your peace of mind, all of our tutors must have a valid DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check or equivalent. This is part of our rigorous vetting process to ensure your child's safety on our platform.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. Because it's one-to-one, you can have an open conversation about their progress, the areas they're focusing on, and how you can support their learning at home too.
