Evi C
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!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is in P1. Can a tutor really help prepare them for the P7 Transfer Test already?

Absolutely. A strong foundation in phonics is the first and most crucial step. Our tutors help build the essential literacy and comprehension skills that are vital for long-term success in the Transfer Test and for entry into schools like Bangor Grammar or Glenlola Collegiate.

Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Northern Ireland?

Yes, many of our tutors have experience with the Northern Ireland curriculum. You can read their detailed profiles, check their experience, and even send them a message before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child's needs.

How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?

It's easy to find a great match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check ratings from other parents, and watch introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before you book your first lesson.

How can an online tutor keep a young child engaged during a lesson?

Our tutors are skilled at making learning fun for young children. They use interactive tools, educational games, and positive encouragement in a one-to-one setting that minimises distractions and keeps your child focused and happy.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.

Are all the tutors safe and background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally vetted by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?

Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. The classroom includes a video chat function and an interactive whiteboard, making it easy for your child to learn and engage with their tutor.

Will this help my child's confidence as well as their reading?

Definitely. When a child masters a skill they found difficult, their self-esteem soars. The focused, positive encouragement they receive in one-to-one lessons often has a wonderful impact on their overall confidence at school.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Most importantly, you'll see it for yourself as their reading skills improve and their confidence in their own abilities begins to grow.

How long is a typical lesson for a young child?

You can decide the lesson length with your tutor. For younger children learning phonics, lessons are often around 30 to 45 minutes to ensure they stay engaged, but many tutors offer sessions up to an hour long.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language. It's all about helping them discover their passions and build new skills.
