Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Caterham and are thinking about schools like Caterham School. Can a tutor help prepare my child for early years assessments?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping children build the foundational literacy skills needed for entry into competitive independent and prep schools. They can focus on building the confidence and core phonics knowledge that will help your child feel prepared and shine during assessments.

My child's primary school in the Caterham area has high expectations. How can a tutor ensure they keep up with their peers?

A one-to-one tutor can work in partnership with you and your child's school curriculum. By focusing on the specific phonics phases they are covering in class, a tutor can reinforce learning, plug any gaps, and give your child the dedicated attention they need to feel confident and stay on track with their classmates.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect 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.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Phonics, or can you help with other skills?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.

How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience with early years education. Look for someone whose approach feels right for your child's personality – whether that's fun and playful or calm and patient.

My child's confidence is low when it comes to reading. How can a tutor help?

Confidence is everything, especially for young learners. A private tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where there's no fear of getting things wrong in front of a class. They celebrate small wins and build your child up, which often makes the biggest difference of all. It's a key reason why 90% of students improve by at least one grade.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check (or equivalent). We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from one of the 200,000+ happy students who have used Tutorful.

How do online lessons work for a young child?

Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for all ages. Tutors use an interactive whiteboard, share fun resources, and play educational games to keep your child focused and happy. All they need is a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone.

How much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

How will 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 through the platform to discuss progress and goals. Many parents tell us they see a difference not just in their child's schoolwork, but in their overall enthusiasm for learning.

How often should my child have a lesson?

For young children learning phonics, consistency is often key. Many parents find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum without it feeling overwhelming. You can discuss the best frequency for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

I'm not sure I understand phonics myself. Can the tutor help me support my child?

Yes, absolutely! A great tutor is a partner for you as well. They can help you understand the methods they're using, like synthetic phonics, and give you simple tips and activities you can use to support your child's reading practice between lessons.
