Hadika M
Dedicated Early Years and Reception tutor
As a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester, I saw firsthand how many of my classmates struggled with Maths and English. It wasn't just a few; it was a common challenge. Seeing their difficulties sparked something in me. I found that I genuinely loved helping them understand concepts that seemed confusing. The feeling of watching them grasp a difficult idea was incredibly rewarding, and that's when I discovered my passion for teaching.I strongly disagree with the idea that people are naturally "good" at one subject and "bad" at another. I believe that anyone can learn anything...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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

Finding the right person is key. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We're proud of our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and needs.

My child will be starting Reception at a school in Peterlee. Can a tutor help them feel prepared?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. They can work with your child on the specific phonics and numeracy skills they'll need for Reception, helping them walk into the classroom on their first day feeling confident and ready to learn.

How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost in Peterlee?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.

Are your tutors qualified to teach young children?

Yes. We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. Many are qualified teachers or have extensive experience in Early Years education. We're selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

We live in the East Durham area. Does it matter that the tutor isn't physically here?

Not at all. The benefit of online tutoring is that you get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just your local area. Our online classroom has interactive tools that make learning engaging and effective for young children, all from the comfort and convenience of your own home.

How does online tutoring even work for a Reception-age child?

It’s surprisingly effective! Our tutors use an interactive online whiteboard, games, and fun digital resources to keep young children engaged. They can draw, write, and play educational games together in real-time. It’s a fun, visual way to learn that young children really enjoy.

How long are the sessions for such young children?

Our tutors understand that concentration spans can be short at this age. Many offer shorter sessions of 30 or 45 minutes, which are often perfect for Early Years learners. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor.

How can a tutor specifically help my child with phonics?

A tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention on phonics that's hard to get in a classroom. They can use games and tailored activities to help your child recognise letter sounds, blend them for reading, and build a strong foundation for literacy.

Can tutoring help my child's social confidence for starting school?

Yes, it often does. The positive, one-to-one interaction with a supportive adult can do wonders for a child's self-esteem. As they see themselves making progress and grasping new concepts, their confidence grows, which can make them feel more prepared and less anxious about the social side of school.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to you after each session. This helps you stay informed about what your child is learning and how they are progressing. It’s a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.

Do you offer tutoring for older children too, or for things like music?

We do! We have tutors for over 300 subjects, covering everything from Primary and GCSE Maths to A-Level Biology. We also have tutors for skills like learning the guitar, coding, or a new language. You can find support for your whole family on Tutorful.
