Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to a primary in Buckley and I'm worried they're falling behind in phonics. How can an online tutor help?
We understand this concern completely. An online tutor provides focused, one-to-one attention that's often difficult in a busy classroom. They can identify the exact phonetic sounds or blends your child is struggling with and create fun, engaging activities to build their skills and, most importantly, their confidence, right from your home in Buckley.
How can phonics tutoring now help prepare my child for a secondary school like Elfed High?
A strong foundation in phonics is the bedrock of all future learning. By mastering reading now, your child will be able to confidently tackle the more complex texts and independent study required at secondary school. It's about ensuring they don't start on the back foot, giving them the confidence to thrive from day one.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for something like phonics?
Absolutely. Our online platform uses interactive tools, whiteboards, and screen sharing to make lessons just as engaging as being in the same room. The main advantage is that your child in Buckley gets access to the very best phonics specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.
What if my child doesn't click with their first phonics tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if you don't feel the tutor is the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I find the right tutor for my child in Buckley?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in early years phonics. You can read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors directly to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
What qualifications do your phonics tutors have?
Our tutors include qualified teachers, subject matter experts, and experienced educators. Many have specific qualifications in early years education and phonics instruction. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much do online phonics lessons cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts to worry about.
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 browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are one hour long. For younger children learning phonics, some parents find that 30 or 45-minute sessions work well too. Most students have one session per week, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your family directly with your tutor.
Can I get feedback on my child's progress?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors provide regular feedback to parents. You can communicate with your tutor through our messaging system to stay updated on what they're covering and how your child is progressing.
Are the lessons always one-to-one?
Yes, all our standard lessons are one-to-one. This ensures that the session is entirely focused on your child's unique learning style and needs, which is especially important for building foundational skills like phonics.
My child needs help with phonics, but can we also find tutors for other things, like music or coding?
We can! Whilst we have fantastic phonics specialists, we also offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So whether your child wants to learn the guitar, get help with their maths homework, or start coding, we have expert tutors ready to help.
