Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Early Years and Reception Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Kathy F
Creative Early Years and Reception tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

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're worried our child won't be 'school-ready' for Reception in Hull. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common concern, and it's exactly where we can help. Our Early Years specialists focus on the core skills of the EYFS curriculum—like phonics, number recognition, and social skills—in a fun, engaging way. The goal is to build their confidence so they walk into any Hull primary school feeling prepared and excited to learn.
My child might not get into our first-choice primary. How can tutoring build their confidence for any school?
That's a key benefit of one-to-one support. A tutor provides consistent, positive encouragement that isn't dependent on a specific school environment. By helping your child master foundational skills and feel successful in their learning, we build a core confidence that they will carry with them into any Reception classroom in Hull, ready to thrive wherever they are.
Is online tutoring engaging enough for a four or five-year-old?
Yes! Our tutors are experts at making online learning interactive and fun for young children. They use digital tools, educational games, storytelling, and virtual whiteboards to create a dynamic environment. Sessions are often shorter and packed with variety to keep your child focused and happy.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first session isn't the perfect fit, please don't worry. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you find a tutor who specialises in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)?
Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or have specific experience and training in Early Years education. You can use the filters on our site to find tutors who explicitly mention EYFS expertise, and you can read their profiles and parent reviews to find the perfect match for your child.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, the safety of your child is our top priority. Every single tutor on the Tutorful platform has undergone a DBS background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How long are the sessions for a Reception-age child?
For this age group, we generally find that sessions of 30 to 45 minutes work best to maintain focus and energy. However, this is flexible, and you can discuss the ideal session length with your chosen tutor based on your child's individual needs.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer, laptop, or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our tutors use our purpose-built online classroom, which is easy to access through your web browser with no complex software to install.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. They'll share what they've been working on, celebrate achievements, and discuss the next steps. It's a partnership, and you'll always be kept in the loop about how your child is developing.
How much does online Early Years tutoring for a student in Hull cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £20. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find excellent support that fits your family's budget.
Beyond phonics and numbers, can you help with creative skills?
Yes, many of our tutors love to incorporate creative learning. Whether it's through storytelling, drawing, music, or imaginative play, they can help nurture your child's creativity. We also have specialist tutors for subjects like Music and Art if that's something you'd like to explore.
How long are the sessions for a Reception-age child?
There's no single right answer, as every child is different. Many parents in Hull start looking for support in the year before their child starts Reception to build a solid foundation. Others might seek help during Reception if they notice their child is struggling with a particular area. The best time is whenever you feel your child would benefit from a little extra support.
