Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child will be starting at a school like St Begh's or Jericho. Can a tutor help them feel prepared for Reception?

Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in making the transition to Reception a smooth and positive one. They can work with your child on key readiness skills like phonics, early number recognition, and even social skills, ensuring they walk into their new Whitehaven classroom feeling confident and ready to learn.

We live in Whitehaven. How does online tutoring work for us?

Online tutoring offers fantastic flexibility. You're not limited to tutors in the local area, so you can find the absolute best specialist for your child from anywhere in the UK. All lessons happen in our interactive online classroom, so all you need is a laptop or tablet and an internet connection.

How do I choose the right tutor for my young child?

You can watch introductory videos, read parent reviews, and check a tutor's experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain what you're looking for. Finding someone with a warm, engaging personality who your child will look forward to seeing is key.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right connection 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.

How does online tutoring keep a young child engaged?

Our tutors are experts at making learning fun for little ones. They use interactive tools like whiteboards, fun games, and engaging activities tailored to your child's interests to keep them focused and entertained throughout the session.

How long is a typical tutoring session for a Reception-age child?

For younger children, we often find that shorter, 30-minute sessions are most effective for keeping them engaged. However, many tutors offer 45-minute or 60-minute lessons, and you can discuss with them what would be the best fit for your child's concentration span.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.

How much does Early Years tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £40 per hour, depending on their experience. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

Can tutoring help my child build confidence?

Yes, building confidence is at the heart of what we do. The one-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor helps your child feel safe to try new things and celebrate their own progress, which is a fantastic boost for their self-esteem.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?

While we cover all academic subjects from Early Years to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.

How quickly can we start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Many tutors are available to start within a few days. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them directly to arrange your first session at a time that suits you both.

What happens in a typical Early Years tutoring lesson?

A typical lesson is playful and interactive. A tutor might use online games to practise phonics, read a story together to build comprehension, or use digital blocks to explore simple counting. Every activity is designed to be fun and build on what your child already knows.
