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 live in Tewkesbury and are thinking about the 11+ for Gloucestershire grammar schools. Can a tutor help at this early stage?
Absolutely. While we don't focus on formal 11+ prep for this age group, our tutors are brilliant at building the core skills in phonics and number sense that create a strong foundation for future success. They make learning fun and pressure-free, which is the best way to prepare your child for their entire school journey.
How do I choose the right Early Years tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and message tutors for free to ask any questions you have before booking. The goal is to find someone your child will look forward to learning with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
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 and we've personally verified their ID. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online lessons work for young children?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging for young learners. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, fun exercises, and educational games to keep your child focused and entertained. It's a great way to make screen time educational and productive.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
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 great tutor who fits your budget.
My child's future primary school is in the Tewkesbury area. Can a tutor follow the local curriculum?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are very familiar with the UK's national curriculum for Early Years. You can discuss your child's specific school and learning goals with a tutor before you book to ensure they are a perfect match.
How long should a lesson be for a child in Reception?
For younger children, we often find that shorter, more frequent sessions work best to keep them engaged. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute lessons. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor, as they can tailor it to your child's attention span.
How can a tutor help my child if they are shy?
One-to-one tutoring is a wonderful environment for shy children. It gives them a safe space to ask questions and build confidence without the pressure of a full classroom. Our tutors are skilled at building a warm rapport and gently encouraging children to find their voice.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can I find tutors for other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we're proud of our academic support in Maths, English, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music lessons like guitar or piano, languages, and even skills like coding.
How soon can we start?
You can start as soon as you're ready. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can get started on your child's learning journey.
What results can I expect from tutoring?
While every child's journey is unique, our goal is to help them feel more confident and happy in their learning. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we've helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals.
