Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can a tutor help my child with the Year 1 Phonics screening check in their Andover school?
Our tutors are very familiar with the Year 1 screening check. They can make the process feel less like a test and more like a game, building your child's skills and confidence with friendly, one-to-one practice on sounding out and blending words. This ensures they feel prepared and relaxed when the time comes.
My child will eventually go to a secondary school like John Hanson. How does early Phonics support help?
A strong foundation in reading is critical for success in every single subject at secondary school. Confident readers can better understand everything from history textbooks to chemistry questions. By securing their Phonics skills now, you're setting them up for long-term academic success.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to ask questions before you book. This helps you find someone with a teaching style that will click with your child's personality.
How much do online Phonics tutors in Andover cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits within your budget, ensuring you get great value and the right support for your child.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child's confidence is low when it comes to reading. Can a tutor really help?
Absolutely. A private tutor provides a patient and encouraging space where your child can learn without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Celebrating small wins in each session is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-esteem and help them see themselves as a capable reader.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a 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 work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making lessons engaging and effective. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
You can arrange this directly with your tutor. For younger children learning Phonics, shorter, more frequent sessions of around 30-45 minutes once or twice a week often work best to keep them engaged and build momentum.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
What results can I expect for my child?
Our main goal is to help your child feel confident and happy in their learning. We have a fantastic track record, with over 200,000 happy students and 90% improving by at least one grade. For Phonics, success is seeing your child pick up a book with a smile.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started right away. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could book your child's first lesson for as early as this week.
