Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Holmfirth and want to make sure our child is ready for the local primary schools. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping children build the core skills needed for a confident start to Reception. They can work on phonics, letter formation, and number recognition in a fun, engaging way that helps your child feel prepared and excited for their first day at school.

We're thinking long-term about grammar schools in Halifax. Is it too early to build a strong foundation?

It's never too early to nurture a love of learning. While the focus now is on a happy start to Reception, building strong foundational skills in literacy and numeracy creates a brilliant platform for all future learning, which will certainly stand them in good stead for any path they take later on.

How do I choose the right Early Years and Reception tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' intro videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. Many of our tutors are specialists in early education. We recommend messaging a few to find someone whose approach and personality feels like the perfect fit for your child.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that finding the right personality match is key, especially for young children. That's why we have a 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 much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden costs or contracts.

What happens in a typical online session for a young child?

Sessions for young learners are interactive and fun! Tutors use our online classroom's features, like the interactive whiteboard, to play games, read stories, and do engaging activities. The focus is on learning through play to keep your child focused and happy.

How long should a tutoring session be for a four or five-year-old?

For this age group, we find that shorter sessions of 30 to 45 minutes often work best to keep them engaged. However, you can discuss this with your chosen tutor, and they can recommend a lesson length that will be most effective for your child.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident about starting school?

One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. By helping them grasp early concepts in a low-pressure environment, tutoring ensures they start school feeling capable and positive about learning, rather than anxious.

Are your tutors qualified to teach young children?

Yes, many of our tutors are qualified teachers with specific experience in Early Years and Key Stage 1. We thoroughly vet every tutor, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, to ensure your child is in safe, expert hands. You can view their qualifications on their profiles.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session. They'll let you know what they've been working on with your child, celebrate their successes, and discuss the plan for future lessons. This partnership ensures you're always up-to-date on their progress.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills like music or drawing for young children?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. You can find brilliant tutors who can help your child explore their creativity through music, learn to play the piano, or develop their drawing skills. It's a great way to support their all-round development.

What equipment do we need for online tutoring?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
