Alice A
Phonics Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Nathalie B
Nurturing Phonics Tutor
I have a BA (hons) in Primary Education from Oxford Brookes University. I have 13 years teaching experienceteaching children from Foundation Stage to Year 6. For many children, school can be a challenging environment to learn in. This is why I feel that tutoring can be a really positive tool to encourage a pupil to unlock their potential. I aim to make my sessions personalised to your child's needs and to also create an environment where the pupil feels comfortable enough to challenge themselves and realise their potential. As much as possible, I like to include games and creative ideas to engage...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is in the Foundation Phase in a Barry primary school. Can a tutor follow the Welsh curriculum?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience with the Curriculum for Wales. When you search, you can check each tutor's profile for their expertise and even message them to ask about their approach to supporting young learners in the Welsh education system.

We're worried about the transition to Key Stage 2. Can a tutor help build a strong foundation now?

Yes, that's one of the main benefits of tutoring. A Phonics tutor can help ensure your child has a really solid grasp of reading before they face the increasing demands of Key Stage 2. This builds their confidence and makes the transition much smoother, setting them up for future success.

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

It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child clicks with is the first step to great learning.

How does online tutoring work for a young child?

Our online classroom has lots of interactive tools, like a whiteboard, that make learning fun and engaging. Tutors are experts at keeping young children focused with games and activities, making it feel less like a lesson and more like playtime.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have had their ID verified and hold an enhanced DBS certificate or equivalent background check.

How much do online Phonics tutors in Barry cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically start from £15 per hour. You can easily filter tutors by price to find the perfect match for your budget.

What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 long should a lesson be for a young child?

Our tutors are flexible. While many lessons are an hour long, you can discuss shorter, more frequent sessions with your tutor to suit your child's attention span. Just send them a message to work out a plan that's right for your family.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them anytime to discuss progress. The biggest sign, however, is often seeing your child's own confidence grow as they start to enjoy reading more.

My child is very shy. How can a tutor help them open up?

One-to-one lessons are a great environment for shy children. It's a safe, private space where they can build a rapport with their tutor without the pressure of a classroom. Our tutors are skilled at helping children feel comfortable and confident.

Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects?

Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors who can teach a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding and new languages.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could be having your first lesson within a day or two. It's that simple.
