A strong start here builds a confident, independent learner for life, paving the way for success in their future studies and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Ebbw Fawr Learning Community. Can a tutor help them keep up with the pace of a larger school?
Absolutely. A private tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention that can sometimes be challenging in a larger class. They can work at your child’s pace, reinforcing what they're learning at school and building their confidence so they feel ready and able to participate.
We're based in Blaenau Gwent. How does online tutoring help my child with the Welsh curriculum?
Many of our tutors are experienced with the curriculum in Wales. When you search, you can check tutor profiles for this specific experience. They can help your child build a strong foundation in phonics that supports both their English and Welsh literacy skills, which is so important for their journey through the Welsh education system.
What if we don't click with the first Phonics tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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.
How do I pick the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can talk about your child's needs and see if it's a good fit before booking.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How can an online tutor make Phonics fun and engaging?
Our tutors are brilliant at making learning enjoyable! They use interactive tools on our online whiteboard, play word games, and use fun resources to bring phonics to life. It feels less like a lesson and more like a fun activity.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are shown upfront on their profiles, so there are no surprises.
How long is a typical tutoring session for a young child?
For younger learners, sessions are often around 30 to 45 minutes to keep them focused and engaged. However, you can discuss the ideal lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How can a tutor help my child build reading confidence, not just skills?
Confidence is key. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child isn't afraid to make mistakes. By celebrating small wins and explaining things in a way they understand, a tutor helps them see that they *can* succeed, which is a feeling that extends far beyond their reading skills.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Phonics?
Not at all! While we have tutors for core subjects from the 11+ right up to degree level, we also believe in learning for fun and personal growth. You can find expert tutors for hobbies and skills like learning the guitar, coding, or even a new language.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is simple to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child’s progress. 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 their child's attitude towards reading very quickly.
