Phonics: The Essential Foundation for Learning in Brighton
For a child in Brighton, mastering phonics means more than just passing the Year 1 screening check. It's about developing the early reading skills that allow them to confidently tackle books, understand schoolwork, and fully engage with the rich curriculum offered in Brighton's schools. A strong start here can make a real difference to their confidence, helping them approach primary school with a sense of capability, rather than falling behind and facing unnecessary hurdles later on. This foundational understanding is key to their future learning journey.

Personalised Phonics Support, Tailored for Your Child
We know finding the right support for your child can feel overwhelming, especially if you've never hired a tutor before. That's why we don't ask you to scroll through lists. Instead, tell us about your child's needs and current progress in Phonics. Our team will then thoughtfully match them with a tutor who is not only an expert in early reading but also skilled at building confidence and making learning enjoyable. This means less guesswork for you, and more effective learning for them.
Online Phonics lessons with Tutorful are far more than a simple video call. They happen in our interactive classroom, built specifically for active learning. Your child and their tutor share a digital whiteboard, working through letter sounds, blending activities, and word building together in real time. Tutors can annotate texts and highlight tricky areas visually. Every session is also recorded, so your child can revisit any tricky phonic sounds or rules before their next lesson or a school check.
From your home in Brighton, your child can access top Phonics tutors from across the UK, without any travel time. Sessions can fit around school, after-school clubs, or weekend plans, making it easy to integrate consistent learning into your family's routine. And if, for any reason, the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, we'll cover the cost of a new first session with someone else. We're here to ensure your child gets the supportive start they need.

Sara C
Sara has been fantastic with my 5-year-old. I initially shared my concerns about Dawud’s reading and maths, and she reassured me that with the right support, he would improve and be ready for the phonics screening. I noticed a significant boost in his confidence and reading ability even after the first session. Highly recommended — she is both skilled and very kind.

We’re very happy to have Teacher Emma as our son’s Phonics teacher. She is very encouraging and patient, which makes a big difference. As we’ve just moved to the UK and English is not our first language, we truly appreciate how smoothly our son is able to learn with her.

Emma has been teaching my son (aged 6) and daughter (aged 3) over the last two months. Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging.
