Evi is such a great tutor - she’s proactive, resourceful and supportive. She’s been tutoring my sister who’s in year 5 and she’s been a massive help in her learning. Evi is very knowledgeable about the syllabus and puts a lot of care when planning lessons and delivering them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thanks Evi!

We’ve been so pleased with Rebecca as our daughter’s phonics tutor! Since starting lessons, our daughter’s confidence has grown so much, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she enjoys learning now. She looks forward to each session and always comes away smiling. The tutor has a warm and encouraging approach that really brings out the best in her. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had.

Daria is great. She teaches My little one at least twice a week. The work they’ve been doing together has really made a difference. It is fun and well organised. She’s also very quick to reply to messages, should you need any further support outside of lesson times. Brilliant over all. Many thanks!

Brilliant Phonics tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're aiming for a place at Antrim Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the Transfer Test?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping children build the foundational English and reading fluency skills essential for the Transfer Test. They can create a supportive environment to help your child feel prepared and confident for the English component.
Are the tutors familiar with the primary school curriculum in Northern Ireland?
Yes. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience, including their familiarity with different UK curricula. Many have direct experience with the CCEA curriculum used in Northern Ireland and can tailor their lessons accordingly.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also message tutors for free to ask about their approach before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics 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.
How much do online Phonics tutors in Antrim cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts to worry about.
How can a tutor make learning Phonics fun for a young child?
Our tutors are brilliant at making learning engaging. They use interactive tools, games, and positive encouragement to make lessons feel like fun, not a chore. This helps build your child's confidence and a genuine love for reading.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process where we interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and provide professional references.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use games to practise letter sounds, share digital flashcards for tricky words, and work through reading exercises together, all tailored to your child's level.
My child is very shy. How does online tutoring work for them?
Online tutoring can be fantastic for shy children. The one-to-one setting, from the comfort of their own home, often helps them feel more relaxed and confident to ask questions they might not ask in a busy classroom.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review lesson recordings to see their confidence grow.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should my child have them?
Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange shorter or longer times with your tutor. Most parents find a weekly session works best, but the schedule is completely flexible and up to you.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies like learning the piano or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, you can find expert tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, coding skills, or even public speaking.
