From First Words to a Lifelong Love of Reading
Phonics isn't just about passing a test; it's the key that unlocks the entire world of learning. When the alphabet stops being a puzzle and becomes a tool, everything changes. Suddenly, they're not just looking at pictures – they're sounding out the words in their favourite storybook for the first time. They're writing a birthday card to a grandparent with newfound confidence. This is the foundation for every subject they'll ever study, building the skills they'll need for a bright future.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
I'm worried about the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check at my child's Dinnington primary. Can a tutor really help?
Absolutely. It's a concern we hear from many parents. Our tutors specialise in building confidence for this specific check. They create a fun, low-pressure space for your child to practise blending and segmenting sounds, so they feel prepared and relaxed on the day.
Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Dinnington schools?
Yes. All our tutors are experts in the UK National Curriculum, which is the framework followed by schools in Dinnington and across the country. They can tailor sessions to complement what your child is learning in class, filling in any gaps and reinforcing key concepts.
Is online tutoring for a young child as effective as in-person?
We find it's incredibly effective. Tutors use interactive games, digital whiteboards and engaging resources to make learning fun. For children in Dinnington, it means they can learn from the comfort of home with a top UK specialist, without any tiring travel.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with the first Phonics tutor we try?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable, so we make this easy. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your Phonics tutors are high quality?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven expertise in their subject. You can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.
How long is a typical online Phonics session for a young child?
Most parents find that 45-60 minutes is ideal. It's long enough to make real progress but short enough to keep your child fully engaged. You can discuss the perfect session length with your chosen tutor.
My child is struggling with confidence, not just the technical skills. Can tutoring help with that?
This is at the heart of what we do. The one-to-one attention from a patient tutor works wonders for confidence. Celebrating small wins and seeing their own progress helps children feel capable and much more positive about their learning.
What equipment do we need for online lessons from our home in Dinnington?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from £25 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
Very quickly. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly. Many of our tutors can start within a few days, getting your child the support they need right away.
My older child needs help with GCSE Maths. Do you offer that too?
We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from primary level right through to GCSEs, A-Levels and beyond. You can find support for your whole family on Tutorful.
Can I schedule lessons to fit around our family's busy life?
Of course. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits you and your child, making it easy to fit expert support around school, clubs, and family time.
