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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to a primary school in Castleford. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Many parents in Castleford use our tutors to build confidence ahead of the Phonics Screening Check. A tutor can make learning fun and stress-free, focusing on any specific sounds or blends your child finds tricky, so they feel fully prepared and positive about the experience.
We're thinking ahead to secondary school at Castleford Academy. How can early reading support help with that transition?
A strong foundation in reading is crucial for the move to secondary school. When a child is a confident reader, they can access the more complex texts in subjects like Science, History, and English. Phonics tutoring helps build that core confidence early, ensuring they are ready for the academic challenges ahead.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding someone your child connects with. You can read tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors specialise in teaching young children and use games and interactive methods to make learning fun. You can also message tutors beforehand to find the perfect fit.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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.
How do online lessons work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for all ages. It includes an interactive whiteboard, screen sharing, and other fun tools. Tutors who specialise in teaching younger children are brilliant at using these features to play games and keep your child focused and happy.
How can tutoring build my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to learn at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. Every small win is celebrated, which helps them see themselves as capable learners. This boost in self-esteem often has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
Are your tutors qualified to teach Phonics?
Yes. We have many tutors who are qualified teachers with specific experience in early years education and phonics. We verify the qualifications of all our tutors and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How long does it take to see progress in my child's reading?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for reading after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical online Phonics session?
A typical session is fun and interactive! The tutor might use online games to practise letter sounds, read a story together on the interactive whiteboard, or work on blending sounds to read new words. It's always tailored to your child's specific goals and learning style.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects like Phonics?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from primary school through to university, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get started with coding.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is made automatically via your stored card details. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history from your Tutorful account.
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.
