The Right Support to Help Your Child Love Reading
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly connects with your child. Our tutors take the time to understand how your child learns best, identifying exactly which sounds or blends they're finding tricky. By building a friendly and encouraging relationship, they create a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. Every online lesson is designed around your child's specific needs. Forget one-size-fits-all worksheets. A tutor might use fun, interactive games to practise segmenting and blending, or create engaging activities to help them master tricky digraphs. This focused attention helps fill any gaps and builds their reading skills, one step at a time. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your to-do list. With our online platform, you can connect with the best phonics tutors from across the UK, all from the comfort of your Bentley home. Lessons can be scheduled around school, clubs, and family life, making it easy to give your child the help they need, when they need it.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child will be going to a local primary school in Bentley. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 phonics screening check?
Absolutely. Many parents share this concern. Our tutors are experienced in making phonics fun and accessible, helping your child build the skills and confidence they need to do their best in the screening check and feel prepared for Year 1.
We're thinking ahead to secondary school at Don Valley Academy. Can phonics tutoring now really help with that?
Yes, it makes a huge difference. Reading is the foundation for almost every subject. A child who reads confidently finds it much easier to understand new topics in science, history, and even maths. Building a strong foundation now sets them up for a much smoother transition to secondary school.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can view tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child clicks with is the most important step.
What happens in a typical online Phonics session?
Lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive. A tutor might use our online whiteboard for fun games, share phonics-based stories, and use activities to practise sounding out and blending words. Every session is tailored to your child's level and learning style.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. If for any reason the first lesson isn't the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in reading?
A one-to-one tutor provides a patient and encouraging space where it's okay to make mistakes. By breaking things down into small, manageable steps and celebrating every bit of progress, they can help rebuild your child's self-esteem and turn reading back into a positive experience.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and screen sharing. All you need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How often should my child have a Phonics lesson?
For younger children, consistency is key. Most parents find that one 45-60 minute session per week is ideal for building momentum without being overwhelming. You can discuss the best frequency directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the plan for future lessons. You can message them at any time through the platform to ask questions or discuss progress.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies too?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core skills like Phonics and Maths, your child could also learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about helping them discover their passions.
