Why a Strong Start in Phonics is So Important

Phonics isn't just about learning to read; it's the key that unlocks your child's entire education. When children grasp how sounds and letters work together, they don't just become confident readers – they become more engaged learners across all subjects. This fundamental skill builds a strong foundation for their journey through primary school, setting them up for success at GCSEs and beyond.

Personalised Online Phonics Tutoring That Works for Your Family

We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only has expert subject knowledge but also understands how to make learning fun for your child. They'll take the time to get to know your child's personality and learning style, creating a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions and building their skills. Every online lesson is built around your child. If they're finding certain Welsh sounds like 'll' or 'ch' tricky, or need help blending sounds in English, their tutor can focus the session on exactly that. This one-to-one attention means they can work at their own pace, moving on only when they feel truly confident, which is something that's often difficult in a busy classroom. Juggling school runs and after-school clubs is hard enough. Online tutoring fits around your family's schedule. You can find a fully vetted, background-checked tutor from anywhere in the UK and connect with them from the comfort of your home in Carmarthenshire. All you need is a laptop or tablet, making it easy to fit in that extra support whenever it suits you best.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is in a Welsh-medium school in Carmarthenshire. Can I find a tutor who understands bilingual phonics?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience supporting children who are learning to read in both Welsh and English. You can check their profiles for this expertise or message them to ask about their approach to teaching bilingual phonics, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your child's needs.

I don't speak Welsh, but my child is learning it at school. How can a tutor help me support them?

This is a common situation for many parents in Carmarthenshire, and it's exactly where a tutor can help. They can bridge the gap by providing expert guidance for your child, while also giving you feedback and simple ways you can encourage their learning at home, even if you don't speak the language yourself.

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

We understand that finding the right personality match is key. 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 do I pick the right Phonics tutor for my child?

You can start by looking at their profile videos and reading reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's specific needs, whether it's blending sounds or building reading speed. It helps you get a feel for their personality and teaching style before you book.

How much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but you can easily filter your search by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly shown on the tutors' profiles, so there are no hidden surprises.

How do online lessons work? What do we need?

All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard and other tools to make learning engaging and fun for your child.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

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

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in reading?

Confidence is everything. A one-to-one tutor can create a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes. By breaking down concepts and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-esteem and rediscover a love for reading.

How long is a typical tutoring session for a young child?

For younger children learning Phonics, sessions are often between 30 and 45 minutes to keep them engaged and focused. However, you can discuss the ideal length with your tutor, as they can tailor it to your child's attention span and needs.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them anytime to ask questions. Often, the biggest sign of progress is seeing your child's confidence grow and their willingness to pick up a book on their own.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started very quickly. Simply search for tutors, message a few to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week. It's designed to be simple and fit around your schedule.

Is Tutorful only for school subjects like Phonics?

Not at all! While we cover all core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors who can help you or your child learn a new skill or hobby, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or even learning a new language for fun.
