Joanne W
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!

Evi C
Evi is such a great tutor - she’s proactive, resourceful and supportive. She’s been tutoring my sister who’s in year 5 and she’s been a massive help in her learning. Evi is very knowledgeable about the syllabus and puts a lot of care when planning lessons and delivering them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thanks Evi!

Since starting lessons, our daughter’s confidence has grown so much, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she enjoys learning now. She looks forward to each session and always comes away smiling. The tutor has a warm and encouraging approach that really brings out the best in her. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in P1 in Carrickfergus. Can a tutor help build their confidence for the Transfer Test journey?
Absolutely. While the Transfer Test might seem far away, a tutor can help by building a really strong and positive foundation in literacy right now. By making phonics fun and building their confidence early, they'll be much better prepared and feel less anxious about future challenges.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in primary schools in Northern Ireland?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience with the Northern Ireland Curriculum. You can check each tutor's profile for their expertise and even send them a message before booking to ask about their familiarity with the curriculum taught in Carrickfergus schools.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. With 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.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost in Carrickfergus?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work for a young child? Is it engaging?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and fun for young learners. Tutors use tools like a digital whiteboard, games, and screen sharing to make lessons engaging. Learning from the comfort of home often helps children feel more relaxed and focused.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and vetted professional.
How long does a typical Phonics lesson last?
For younger children learning phonics, lessons are often between 30 to 60 minutes to keep them engaged and focused. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor, as they can tailor it to your child's attention span.
How quickly will I see my child's reading improve?
Every child learns at their own pace, but one-to-one attention can make a significant difference. The goal is to build confidence and understanding step-by-step, which leads to steady, lasting progress rather than a quick fix.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with core academics like Phonics, Maths, and English, your child can also explore hobbies and new skills like learning an instrument, coding, or even a new language.
Can a tutor make learning to read fun?
Definitely! A great tutor knows how to turn learning into a game. They use creative methods, positive reinforcement, and activities tailored to your child's interests to make reading an exciting adventure rather than a chore.
What equipment do I need for an online lesson?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and runs directly in your web browser, with no complicated software to install.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
