My daughter Ariya has been taking lessons with Joanne for more than 6 months now and she(my daughter) has improved in her phonics and reading so much. Joanne is so kind, patient and a super fun teacher. They started when my daughter was 5 and I was a bit worried with how she would handle online tutoring but Joanne makes it seamless and Ariya is right there with her the entire time. 10/10 teacher!

Brilliant Phonics tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is in a Welsh-medium school in Carmarthen, but we don't speak Welsh at home. Can a tutor help with their Welsh phonics?
Absolutely. This is a common concern we help with. We have tutors experienced in teaching Welsh phonics who can provide specific support to complement what your child is learning in school. They create a friendly, encouraging space for your child to practise and build confidence, even if Welsh is new to your family.
We're worried our child is falling behind in the Foundation Phase due to the bilingual demands. How can online tutoring help?
It's completely understandable to have this worry. One-to-one online tutoring provides targeted support right where it's needed. A tutor can identify the exact phonetic sounds your child finds tricky, whether in Welsh or English, and create fun, engaging lessons to build those skills without the pressure of a classroom.
Is online tutoring as effective as having a tutor visit our home in Carmarthen?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective. Online sessions are just as personal and interactive, using tools like digital whiteboards. The biggest advantage is access; from Carmarthen, your child can connect with the perfect Phonics specialist from anywhere in the UK, not just who happens to live nearby.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first Phonics tutor?
We want the fit to be perfect. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel the tutor is the right match 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.
Beyond Phonics, can you help my older child who is preparing for GCSEs?
We can! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core GCSEs like Maths and Science to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or music. We can help every learner in your family achieve their goals.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety and quality of education are our top priorities. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one to assess their expertise and passion for teaching. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much do online Phonics tutors for Carmarthen students cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices for Phonics tutors typically start from £15 per hour, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Our evenings are packed with activities. How flexible is the scheduling?
Very flexible. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can browse tutors' available hours and find a time that fits around your family's commitments, whether it's after school, on a weekend, or whenever works best for you.
How do you find the right tutor for my child's specific personality and needs?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, read detailed bios, and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ensure they're the perfect partner for your child.
What technology does my child need for their online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download.
How will I know if my child is actually making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. The best sign, though, is often the one you see at home – your child's growing confidence and newfound excitement for reading.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. Most families opt for one session per week to build momentum, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.
