Why Mastering Phonics is Key to Your Child's Success
Phonics is much more than just learning letter sounds; it's the foundation upon which all future learning is built. When your child feels confident in their reading, it opens up every other subject for them. From understanding a history topic to tackling a maths problem, strong literacy is essential. Mastering phonics gives your child the tools they need to thrive as they move towards secondary school and beyond, setting them up for success in their exams and future choices.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a school in Blackwood. Can a tutor align their lessons with the Curriculum for Wales?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the Curriculum for Wales. During your first chat, you can discuss what your child is learning at school, like at Libanus Primary or Blackwood Primary, to ensure the tutoring complements their classwork perfectly.
We're worried about our child keeping up with their peers. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is one of the main reasons parents seek support. A tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention to reinforce foundational phonics skills, helping your child not only keep pace but also build the confidence to feel secure and happy in their learning journey towards Blackwood Comprehensive.
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 find someone you feel comfortable with. The goal is to find an expert your child looks forward to learning with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. That's why we have a 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.
How much do online Phonics tutors in Blackwood cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, so you can easily browse profiles to find an expert who fits within your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making lessons engaging and effective. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident with reading?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps turn anxiety into a positive can-do attitude.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies like learning guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas from primary to university level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical skills and hobbies like coding, music production, learning an instrument, and much more.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions last for one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your family.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way to track progress is by having regular, open conversations with your child's tutor. They can provide feedback after each session on what was covered, how your child is doing, and what the plan is for future lessons.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their strengths, what they find tricky, and their interests. This helps the tutor understand the best way to support them and start building a positive, friendly relationship.
