Building a Confident Reader for Life
Phonics is more than just learning sounds; it's the key that unlocks the whole world of reading for your child. Mastering how to blend sounds and recognise letter patterns gives them the confidence to tackle new words and enjoy stories. This fundamental skill is the bedrock for every other subject, from understanding science textbooks to following instructions in Maths. A strong start in phonics builds a love of learning that will support them as they move towards secondary school and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's primary school in Bicester is very large. Can a tutor provide the individual attention they need for the Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents come to us. In a one-to-one setting, a tutor can focus entirely on your child, identifying specific areas they need to work on for the check and turning practice into a fun, low-pressure activity.
We're thinking ahead to secondary schools like The Bicester School. How does getting phonics right now help with that?
A strong foundation in phonics is crucial for future success. When a child can read fluently and confidently, they can access the entire curriculum. This skill is vital for the transition to secondary school, where they'll face more complex texts across all subjects.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. Look for someone who specialises in early years education and whose personality you think will be a great match for your child.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who fits. There are no hidden fees – you only pay for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring for Phonics actually work?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and other tools to make learning engaging and fun for young children.
My child is quite shy. How will a tutor help them feel comfortable online?
Our tutors are brilliant at creating a friendly and supportive space. One-to-one lessons can actually be less intimidating than a busy classroom, giving your child the chance to build confidence at their own pace with a patient and encouraging guide.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check. 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 will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to read more fluently and tackle new words. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in just a few sessions.
How long should a Phonics lesson be for a young child?
Our tutors understand that concentration spans can be short for younger children. They are experts at tailoring lesson length to keep your child engaged, often recommending 30 or 45-minute sessions packed with varied and fun activities.
Can a tutor make learning phonics fun?
Definitely! Our tutors use games, interactive tools, and positive reinforcement to make learning feel like play. They are brilliant at finding what sparks your child's interest and using it to help them learn.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding or a new language to playing the guitar.
