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.

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 Reception in a school in the Wigan borough. Can a tutor help them feel prepared?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build a strong foundation in key areas like phonics and number recognition, which are crucial for the start of formal learning. They focus on making learning fun and engaging, so your child arrives at school feeling confident and ready to join in.
Do tutors understand what's expected for children starting school in the Hindley area?
Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are very familiar with the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. They can tailor sessions to ensure your child is comfortable with the skills and concepts they'll encounter in their new Reception class.
How does online tutoring work for a child so young? Will they stay engaged?
Our Early Years tutors are experts at making online learning interactive and fun. They use digital whiteboards, educational games, songs, and stories to keep young children engaged. Sessions are designed to be playful and feel more like a fun activity than a formal lesson.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child's personality?
You can watch introductory videos and read reviews from other parents to get a feel for each tutor's style. We recommend looking for someone who seems warm, patient, and creative. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What happens 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.
My child is a bit shy. How can a tutor help build their confidence before school?
One-to-one sessions are perfect for shy children. It's a safe, encouraging space where they get the tutor's full attention. This allows them to ask questions without feeling self-conscious and celebrate their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified to teach my young child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best tutors across the UK.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but typically range from £15 to £35 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find the perfect support that fits your family's budget.
How long are the tutoring sessions for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, we find that shorter sessions of 30 or 45 minutes often work best to keep them focused and engaged. However, most tutors offer 60-minute slots, and you can discuss the ideal lesson length for your child directly with them.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session. This helps you stay informed about what your child is learning, where they are excelling, and which areas they're working on. It's a real partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or do you offer lessons in things like drawing or music for young children?
We believe in nurturing all of a child's talents! Beyond core subjects, you can find brilliant tutors who teach instruments like the piano or guitar, art, drama, and even coding. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and creative interests.
What equipment do we need for online Early Years tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has all the tools your child's tutor will need for an interactive lesson.
