Carole G
Professional Early Years and Reception tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Are your tutors familiar with the 'school readiness' expectations for primary schools in the Retford area?

Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who understand the developmental milestones for starting school. While they may not know every single school in Retford, they are experts in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, which all schools follow. They can help your child build a strong foundation in phonics and numeracy to ensure they start Reception feeling confident.

We are considering schools like Ranby House. Can a tutor help prepare my child for that environment?

Absolutely. Our tutors can help nurture the curiosity and core skills that are valued in all school environments, including independent schools. They focus on building confidence, a love of learning, and a solid grasp of early literacy and numeracy, which are excellent preparation for any Reception classroom.

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

It's all about finding the right personality fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain what you're looking for. This helps you find someone who you feel will connect well with your child and make learning fun.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience, so you can find a brilliant, trusted tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring work for a Reception-age child? Is it engaging?

Yes! Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and fun for young learners. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, drawing tools, and educational games to keep your child engaged. Lessons are playful and designed to feel more like guided fun than formal learning.

How long are the tutoring sessions for a young child?

Tutors are flexible and understand that concentration spans can be short for young children. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute sessions to keep things fun and focused, but you can arrange the lesson length that works best for your child directly with your tutor.

Can a tutor help my child with their confidence as well as their learning?

Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. By giving your child a safe space to ask questions and celebrating their small wins, our tutors are fantastic at building self-esteem. A confident child is a happy learner.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or do you offer lessons in things like music or drawing for young children?

We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects! Beyond core skills like phonics and numeracy, you can find tutors who can help your child explore their creativity through music, art, or even an early introduction to a new language. It's a great way to nurture their interests.

How quickly can we get started with a tutor?

You can get started very quickly. Simply search for tutors, message a few to check their availability, and you could be booking your child's first lesson for as early as this week. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found the perfect tutor in just a few clicks.

What do I need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download.
