It gives them the confidence to participate in class, make friends, and feel ready for the challenges of the Surrey education system and beyond.

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
We live in Horley and are hoping for a place at Manorfield or Yattendon. Can a tutor help prepare my child for Reception?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting children with their first steps in education. They can help build foundational skills in phonics and numeracy through fun, play-based learning, giving your child a gentle and positive head start before they join a Reception class.
The Surrey school system feels quite competitive. Can tutoring help my child feel more prepared?
We understand that concern. A tutor’s role at this stage is to build confidence and a love of learning, not to add pressure. By making learning fun and tailoring activities to your child's pace, a tutor can help them feel secure in their abilities, which is the best preparation for any school environment.
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. Look for someone whose personality and teaching style you think your child will respond to. Many parents find it helpful to send a message to a few tutors to find the perfect fit.
What 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.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost in Horley?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring work for such a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, fun games, and screen sharing to make learning visual and hands-on. For young children, sessions are often shorter and packed with varied, playful activities to keep them focused.
How long should a session be for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, we often find that shorter, more frequent sessions work best. Many parents start with 30-minute lessons to keep their child engaged and build from there. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment allows your child to learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. This personal encouragement often has a wonderful effect on their self-esteem.
Do you only offer academic subjects like phonics and numeracy?
Not at all! We have tutors for hundreds of subjects. So whether your child wants to explore Spanish, learn the piano, or even try coding, you can find a friendly expert to guide them on their learning journey.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message directly from their profile to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a few days.
What do I need for an online lesson?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam and microphone, plus a stable internet connection. Your tutor will take care of the rest, guiding your child through our interactive online classroom.
