A child who reads confidently can dive into storybooks, understand maths problems, and explore science topics without struggling over the words on the page. Mastering phonics early gives them the essential tools they need to succeed through primary school and feel prepared for the challenges of secondary school and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Aughton Town Green Primary. Can a tutor help them feel more confident in a high-achieving class?
Absolutely. A tutor can provide a relaxed, one-to-one environment where your child can ask questions without feeling shy. They'll work at your child's pace to build up their skills, helping them feel just as capable as their peers and ready to participate in class.
We're thinking ahead to secondary schools in West Lancashire. Can early phonics support really help?
Yes, it can make a big difference. Strong reading skills are the foundation for every subject. By securing their phonics knowledge now, you're giving them the best possible toolkit to tackle the more complex work they'll face in secondary school, helping them transition smoothly and confidently.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors have experience with early years education and making learning fun. We recommend sending a message to a few to find someone your child will really connect with.
Can a tutor help my child with the Year 1 phonics screening check?
Yes. Our tutors are very familiar with the screening check. They can make practising feel like a game, helping your child get comfortable with the format and build the skills they need to do their best, without feeling pressured.
How do online lessons work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, fun exercises, and educational games to keep young children focused and make learning enjoyable. All you need is a laptop or tablet and a stable internet connection.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, 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 are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and the quality of our teaching very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How long should a phonics session be for a young child?
For younger children, shorter, more frequent sessions are often most effective. Many parents find that 30 to 45 minutes is a great length to keep their child engaged without them getting tired. You can discuss the best lesson length with your chosen tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on what they've been working on with your child and the progress they're making. The best sign, however, is often seeing your child's confidence grow and their willingness to pick up a book and read for pleasure.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
Can I trust the reviews on the platform?
Yes, all our reviews are from real parents and students who have had lessons with a tutor. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, you can get a trusted, honest opinion to help you make your choice.
