Why Strong Phonics Skills are the Foundation for Your Child's Future
Phonics isn't just another school test; it's the key that unlocks the world of reading. When your child feels confident blending sounds to read words, it builds a foundation for every other subject they'll study. This early success in literacy is crucial for their journey through primary school and prepares them for the challenges of secondary schools like St Michael's CE High School. Strong reading skills developed now will help them understand complex texts later on, whether it's analysing quotes in their English GCSEs or tackling word problems in Maths.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in a Chorley primary school. Can a tutor help them specifically with the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Our Phonics tutors are very familiar with the screening check. They can help your child practise reading both real and nonsense words, building their confidence so they feel calm and prepared for the test.
We're thinking ahead to secondary schools like St Michael's CE High School. How does early phonics support help?
That's a great question. A strong foundation in phonics is the bedrock of all future learning. When a child can read fluently and confidently, they can access the entire curriculum more easily, which is a huge advantage as they prepare for the demands of a competitive secondary school.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking your first lesson to ensure you find a great match.
How much does a Phonics tutor in Chorley cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and verify their ID and academic qualifications. Every tutor must also have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Lessons are interactive and tailored to your child. A tutor might use our online whiteboard for fun phonics games, share engaging resources to practise blending, or read stories together. The focus is always on making learning enjoyable and building your child's confidence.
My child is very shy. How can online tutoring help them?
One-to-one online tutoring can be fantastic for shy children. It provides a safe, quiet space where they have the tutor's full attention. This often helps them feel more comfortable speaking up and asking questions than they might in a busy classroom.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
This really depends on your child and your goals. Some children need a few sessions to get over a specific hurdle, while others benefit from ongoing support. You can discuss this directly with your tutor, who will give you honest advice based on your child's progress.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
Not at all. We believe in flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular weekly slot with your tutor. There are no contracts or minimum commitments, so you can find a rhythm that works for your family.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant, passionate tutor to help them.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very 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 works directly in your web browser, with no complicated software to install.
