Q: We live in Market Harborough. Are the tutors familiar with the local school expectations?

Many of our tutors have experience preparing children for Reception across the UK. While they may not know a specific school's exact plan, they are experts in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, which all schools follow. They can focus on the core skills your child needs for a successful start anywhere.

Q: How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. Look for tutors who specialise in play-based learning and have a friendly, encouraging approach.

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

We know how important the right fit 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.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but they are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.

Q: How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor makes a huge difference. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling shy and celebrate small wins, which builds their self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.

Tracy M

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.
