Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a tutor help my child feel ready for Reception in a Thornaby primary school?

A tutor can make a huge difference. They can work specifically on the phonics and number recognition skills your child will need, helping to ease any anxieties you both might have. By making learning fun and building their confidence early, they'll be excited and prepared to join their classmates in any local Stockton-on-Tees school.

My child can be quite shy. How does online tutoring help with that?

Online tutoring is often brilliant for shy children. Learning from the comfort and safety of their own home can help them feel more relaxed and willing to participate. Our tutors are experienced in creating a warm, encouraging environment where your child can build confidence at their own pace.

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

It's all about finding the right personality fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. Many specialise in making learning fun for young children, using games and playful activities to keep them engaged.

What if we don't click with the first 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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How much does Early Years and Reception tutoring cost in Thornaby?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who fits. Tutors list their prices clearly on their profiles, so you'll know the cost upfront with no hidden fees.

How long are sessions for a Reception-age child?

Tutors are very flexible. For younger children, sessions are often shorter, perhaps 30 or 45 minutes, to keep them focused and engaged. You can discuss and agree on the perfect lesson length directly with your chosen tutor.

Will my child have fun, or will it feel like more school?

Our Early Years tutors are experts at making learning feel like play! They use games, songs, and interactive activities to teach core concepts like phonics and numbers. The goal is to build a positive and happy relationship with learning from the very start.

Do you offer tutoring for creative skills too?

Yes, absolutely! We believe in nurturing all talents. Alongside academic subjects, you can find brilliant tutors who can help your child explore drawing, learn a musical instrument like the piano, or even try out a new language.

How does the online classroom work for young children?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and interactive. It has a video chat function and an interactive whiteboard that your child and their tutor can draw on together. It's a fun, visual way to learn that young children really enjoy.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can chat with them at the end of a session or through our messaging system. They'll share what they've been working on and celebrate all the little wins with you.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and hold an enhanced DBS certificate. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.

We live in the Stockton-on-Tees area. Can a tutor help prepare my child for the local curriculum?

Definitely. Our tutors are familiar with the UK curriculum for Early Years. They can focus on the specific skills that will help your child make a smooth and confident transition into any primary school in the Stockton-on-Tees area.
