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.

Brilliant Early Years and Reception tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're worried about the Brighton & Hove school 'lottery'. Can a tutor help my child feel ready for any primary school?
Absolutely. While we can't influence admissions, a tutor can give your child a huge confidence boost. By nurturing their early literacy, numeracy, and social skills in a fun, low-pressure way, they'll feel more prepared and excited for their first day, creating a positive start no matter which school they attend.
How can a tutor in Portslade-by-Sea help my child prepare for the reception baseline assessment?
Our tutors focus on making learning enjoyable, which is the best preparation. They can help your child become familiar with the kinds of skills assessed, like early phonics and number recognition, through gentle, play-based activities. The goal is to build their confidence so they feel comfortable and ready for the classroom environment.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
It's all about finding a personality that clicks with your little one. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors to ask about their experience with this age group. Look for someone who is patient, creative, and makes learning feel like a game.
Is online tutoring effective for very young children?
Yes, when it's done right. Our tutors use interactive tools, games, and storytelling to keep young children engaged. Sessions are often shorter to suit their attention spans, focusing on fun and positive reinforcement to build a great relationship with learning.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of 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 for any reason, just 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from £15 an hour and vary based on the tutor's experience. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can book lessons as and when you need them.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview tutors to ensure they have the right experience and approach for teaching. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can feel confident you're in safe hands.
How long are the tutoring sessions for a child in reception?
For younger children, we find that shorter, more focused sessions work best. Many parents opt for 30 or 45-minute lessons to keep their child engaged and happy. You can discuss the ideal length with your tutor when you book.
What will my child actually do in a session?
An Early Years session is all about learning through play. A tutor might use our interactive whiteboard for drawing and matching games, read a story together, or use virtual blocks to practise counting. It's always tailored to your child's interests and what they're working on.
Can a tutor help my child build social confidence as well as academic skills?
Yes, absolutely. The one-to-one interaction with a friendly, encouraging adult is a fantastic way for your child to practise their communication skills, learn to express their ideas, and grow in confidence in a safe and supportive setting.
Do you offer tutors for older children or for non-academic skills?
We do! We have tutors for over 300 subjects, from Primary and GCSE Maths right up to A-Level sciences. We also have brilliant tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within 48 hours. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight from their profile.
