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.

asked questions

My child will be starting at a primary school in the Wakefield area. Can a tutor help them feel prepared?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build a strong foundation in phonics, reading, and number skills, giving them a huge confidence boost before they even walk through the classroom door. This preparation can make the transition into school life much smoother and more positive.
Are the tutors familiar with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum used in Normanton schools?
Yes, many of our Early Years tutors are experienced teachers or specialists who are very familiar with the EYFS framework. You can check each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and ask them directly in a message before you book.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
The best way is to read the tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and look at reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free to chat about your child's needs and personality to find the perfect friendly face to support them.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but they are all set by the tutors themselves. You can see the hourly rate clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
Is online tutoring effective for such young children?
It really is. Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging, using features like a digital whiteboard, games, and fun resources. For young children, a one-to-one session with a friendly tutor who makes learning feel like play can be incredibly effective.
