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 worried about getting our child into a good primary school in Rugeley. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. While we can't influence school admissions, a tutor can give your child the skills and confidence to start Reception on the right foot. By nurturing their early literacy and numeracy skills in a fun, low-pressure way, they'll be well-prepared and ready to learn, which is what all schools want to see.
Are your tutors familiar with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum used in Staffordshire schools?
Yes, many of our tutors are qualified teachers or have extensive experience with the EYFS framework used across the UK, including in Staffordshire. You can check each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and qualifications and find the perfect match for your child.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right personality. Look for tutors with experience in making learning fun and play-based. You can watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message first to see if they're a good fit for your child's temperament and needs.
How does online tutoring work for such a young age group?
Our tutors are skilled at engaging young children online. They use our interactive whiteboard, fun games, and digital resources to create a dynamic and playful learning environment. Sessions are often shorter to keep your child focused and happy.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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 rates, with prices starting from £15 an hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How long are the online sessions for a young child?
You can decide the session length with your tutor. For younger children, we often find that 30 or 45-minute sessions work best to keep them engaged and focused without getting tired.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention is a fantastic confidence booster. Your child gets a safe space to try new things and make mistakes without any classroom pressure. Every small success is celebrated, which helps them see themselves as a capable learner.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to join Tutorful.
What happens in a typical Early Years tutoring session?
Sessions are always tailored to your child's needs but are typically very interactive and play-based. A tutor might read a story together, play a phonics game, use digital blocks for counting, or draw pictures to build vocabulary. The focus is always on learning through fun.
Do you offer tutors for anything besides academic subjects?
Yes, we do! We believe in learning of all kinds. Alongside core subjects, you can find brilliant tutors for music, such as guitar or piano, as well as languages and even coding.
Can I get feedback on my child's progress?
Of course. Your tutor will be happy to give you regular updates on how your child is getting on. You can message them at any time and they'll often provide a quick summary after each session, so you're always in the loop.
