Phonics: Laying the Groundwork for Future Learning
Phonics is the cornerstone of reading fluency, building a confident approach to learning. For children in Bangor, this early mastery is crucial for success in demanding English papers, especially when preparing for the post-primary Transfer Test. A strong grasp allows them to read with ease, freeing their mind to understand complex texts. This foundational skill opens academic opportunities, preparing them for the rigour of grammar schools like Bangor Grammar or Glenlola Collegiate, and equipping them for any subject where comprehension is key.

Tell us about your child – their current challenges and what you hope to achieve – and we'll thoughtfully match them with a Phonics tutor who truly understands how to build foundational reading skills. It’s about finding a skilled communicator who can reignite their confidence.
Forget passive video calls; Tutorful’s interactive classroom is built for active learning. Your child and their Phonics tutor will share a digital whiteboard, working through letter sounds, blending, and segmenting together in real time. Annotation tools allow the tutor to highlight and explain visually. Every session is recorded, so your child can revisit lessons to practise tricky sounds or solidify their understanding.
From your home in Bangor, your child accesses expert tutors from across the UK – no travel, no disruption to family life. Online sessions fit around after-school clubs or weekend plans.

Carole G
Professional Phonics tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Sara C
Sara has been fantastic with my 5-year-old. I initially shared my concerns about Dawud’s reading and maths, and she reassured me that with the right support, he would improve and be ready for the phonics screening. I noticed a significant boost in his confidence and reading ability even after the first session. Highly recommended — she is both skilled and very kind.

We’re very happy to have Teacher Emma as our son’s Phonics teacher. She is very encouraging and patient, which makes a big difference. As we’ve just moved to the UK and English is not our first language, we truly appreciate how smoothly our son is able to learn with her.

Emma has been teaching my son (aged 6) and daughter (aged 3) over the last two months. Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging. Our children have already made exceptional progress given the short time she has spent with them! Thank you so much Emma :)
