Carole G
Professional Phonics tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

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 is in the Welsh Foundation Phase. Can a tutor help them feel ready for schools like Ysgol Eirias?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting children in the Foundation Phase. They can build a strong phonics foundation that not only meets the curriculum's goals but also gives your child the confidence they need to thrive as they move on to primary and comprehensive schools in the Colwyn Bay area.
We're considering Rydal Penrhos for our child. Can we find a tutor experienced with entry requirements?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience helping children prepare for entrance assessments for independent schools. You can view their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals for schools like Rydal Penrhos.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable and happy learning with.
My child is shy about reading aloud. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can practise without fear of making mistakes. By building a positive relationship and celebrating small wins, they help turn that shyness into confidence.
How much does a Phonics tutor cost in Colwyn Bay?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We're very selective – only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Lessons are interactive and engaging! Tutors use our online classroom, which has features like a whiteboard and document sharing. They might use fun games, phonics-based stories, and targeted exercises to help your child practise blending sounds and reading words, all tailored to their level.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point for building momentum and confidence. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
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 to ask questions. The best sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow and their willingness to pick up a book and read on their own.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Phonics, or can you help with other skills?
We offer support across a huge range of subjects and skills! While we love helping with Phonics, Maths, and English, you can also find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to preparing for university entrance exams. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
What do other parents think of Tutorful?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. Parents have rated us 4.6/5 stars in over 4,100 reviews, often highlighting how our tutors have helped their children build confidence and improve their grades.
