Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child will eventually go to a local secondary school like David Nieper Academy. Can a tutor help build a strong foundation for that transition?
Absolutely. A strong grasp of phonics is the bedrock of literacy, which is essential for success across all subjects at secondary school. By building your child's confidence and skills now, a tutor helps ensure they start secondary school ready and able to tackle more complex work.
We live in Alfreton. Does my child's tutor need to be local too?
No, and that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring! You get access to the best Phonics specialists from all over the UK, not just those in the Alfreton area. This gives you a much wider choice of expert tutors to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
What happens if we don't click with the first Phonics tutor we try?
We understand that finding the right personal connection is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academic skills like Phonics, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach your child anything from coding and Spanish to playing the guitar or singing.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose profile mentions experience with early years or the Phonics Screening Check. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask about their approach.
How much does a Phonics tutor in Alfreton cost?
Our Phonics tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can online tutoring help my young child stay focused?
Our tutors are experts at making learning engaging for young children. They use interactive tools on our online whiteboard, play fun games, and tailor activities to your child's interests. One-to-one attention means the lesson moves at your child's pace, which is brilliant for keeping them focused.
How long are the tutoring sessions for Phonics?
Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange shorter or longer lessons by messaging your tutor directly. For younger children, some parents find that a 45-minute session works well to begin with.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on what they've covered in sessions and how your child is progressing. The biggest sign, though, will be seeing your child's confidence grow as they start to read more fluently and enthusiastically at home and at school.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check and we have personally interviewed them. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
My child is really shy. How can a tutor help them build confidence?
A one-to-one setting is perfect for shy children. It provides a safe, encouraging space where they can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. Our tutors are brilliant at building rapport and celebrating small wins, which helps your child's self-esteem to blossom.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
