Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We are preparing for the Essex 11+. Can a phonics tutor help build this early foundation?

Absolutely. A strong grasp of phonics is the first step towards the advanced reading comprehension skills needed for the 11+. Our tutors can help your child master these fundamentals, building their confidence and preparing them for the journey ahead to competitive grammar schools in Chelmsford and Colchester.

My child's school in Braintree highlighted concerns after the Phonics Screening Check. How can a tutor help?

This is a very common reason parents seek support. A tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention on the specific sounds and blends your child finds tricky. They work at your child's pace to fill any gaps, helping them catch up with their peers and feel more confident in the classroom.

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

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you and your child can meet them first. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

Finding the right personality match is so important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 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.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Can tutoring help my child's confidence?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A great tutor celebrates small wins and creates a positive learning space where it's okay to make mistakes. This one-to-one encouragement often helps a child's self-esteem grow just as much as their reading skills.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools to share resources. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

How often should my child have a Phonics lesson?

Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point for young learners. This provides consistency without being overwhelming. You can discuss the best frequency for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

How quickly will I see progress?

Every child learns at their own pace, but because the lessons are completely tailored to their needs, many parents notice a difference in their child's confidence and skills within just a few sessions. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how effective parents find our tutors.

Do you only offer help with school subjects like Phonics?

Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get into coding, we can help.

Can I message a tutor before booking a lesson?

Yes, you can send a direct message to any tutor before you book. This is a great way to ask any specific questions you might have about their experience or how they might approach helping your child.
