Kathy F
Creative Early Years and Reception tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're hoping for a place at a popular primary school in Royton. Can a tutor help my child feel prepared?
Yes, absolutely. A tutor can help your child feel 'school ready' by gently introducing them to the core skills of Reception, like phonics and early numeracy, in a fun and low-pressure way. This can build their confidence and make the transition into a structured school environment feel much less daunting.
I worry that if my child starts behind, it will affect their chances for schools like The Blue Coat School later on. Can early tutoring help?
A strong start is key to long-term success. By ensuring your child has a solid grasp of foundational skills in Reception, you're setting them up for a smoother and more confident academic journey. A tutor can help fill any small gaps early on, preventing them from becoming bigger challenges later.
How do you find the right tutor for my young child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone who you feel will connect well with your child's personality. Finding a good fit is the first step to successful learning.
How do online lessons work for a Reception-age child?
Our tutors are experts at making online learning engaging for little ones. They use our interactive whiteboard, fun games, and educational tools to create a dynamic and playful learning environment. It’s a great way to capture your child's attention and make learning feel like fun.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost in royton?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is essential for learning. 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.
How long should a lesson be for a young child?
For children in Early Years and Reception, we find that shorter, more frequent lessons of 30-45 minutes often work best to keep them engaged. However, you can discuss the ideal lesson length directly with your chosen tutor.
How can a tutor specifically help my child with phonics?
Our tutors use proven, fun methods to help children understand letter sounds and blending. They can use interactive games, songs, and stories to make phonics less intimidating and help your child build the confidence they need to start reading.
Can a tutor help my child build social confidence for school?
Definitely. The one-to-one interaction with a friendly and encouraging adult can do wonders for a child's confidence. Successfully learning new things with their tutor gives them a sense of achievement that they will carry with them into the classroom.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something creative like music or drawing?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. You can find fantastic tutors for music, art, drama, and even skills like coding. It's a great way to nurture your child's passions and hobbies.
How quickly can I find a tutor for my child?
You can get started right away. Simply search for your subject, browse our expert tutors, and send a message to the ones you like. Many of our tutors reply quickly, and you could have your first lesson arranged in less than 24 hours.
