Building a Strong Reading Foundation for a Bright Future
Mastering Phonics is the first crucial step in your child’s education. It’s the key that unlocks not just reading, but their ability to understand and engage with every other subject. A child who reads with confidence is better equipped to tackle everything from storybooks in primary school to analysing complex texts for their GCSEs and A-Levels. Giving them this solid foundation now helps keep their options open for the most sought-after Sheffield secondary schools later on.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Broomhall and are thinking about schools like Porter Croft and Springfield. Can a tutor help prepare my child?
Absolutely. A private tutor can give your child the individual attention to build a strong foundation in Phonics, helping them feel confident and prepared for the learning environment in any of Broomhall's excellent primary schools.
How can tutoring now help with my child's chances for good Sheffield secondary schools later on?
A strong start in reading is fundamental to all future academic success. By ensuring your child masters Phonics now, you're preventing potential learning gaps from forming and equipping them with the core skills they'll need to excel throughout their school journey, keeping all their future options open.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's a great idea to read tutor profiles and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free to ask about their experience with early years reading before you book a lesson.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
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, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging and interactive. Tutors use a range of tools like an interactive whiteboard, fun exercises, and screen sharing to make learning Phonics feel like a game. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection.
My child has lost confidence with their reading. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and one of the main reasons parents seek a tutor. A great tutor provides a patient, encouraging space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. Celebrating small wins helps rebuild their self-esteem and makes reading enjoyable again.
How long should a Phonics session be for a young child?
For younger children, shorter, more frequent sessions are often most effective. Many tutors offer 30 or 45-minute lessons to maintain focus and energy. You can discuss what would work best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will I see my child make progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Can I message a tutor before I decide to book?
Yes, of course. We encourage you to send a message to any tutors you're interested in. It's a great way to ask about their specific experience and discuss your child's needs to make sure they're the perfect match before you book a lesson.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects from primary to university level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach practical skills and hobbies like coding, learning the guitar, or even public speaking.
