Phonics is much more than just learning to read in primary school; it’s the key that unlocks your child’s entire education. When a child can decode words with ease, they don't just read stories – they can understand their science homework, analyse history texts, and even tackle word problems in Maths. This early confidence creates a positive ripple effect, helping them keep up with the curriculum and feel prepared for the challenges of their GCSEs and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a primary school in Droylsden. Can a tutor help them keep up with the class?
Absolutely. A private tutor can work in partnership with your child's school learning. They can reinforce what’s being taught in the classroom, spend extra time on areas where your child feels unsure, and help them build the confidence to participate more in class.
I'm worried about my child starting at Droylsden Academy behind their peers. Can Phonics tutoring help?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek support. By strengthening your child's foundational reading skills with a tutor now, you can ensure they begin secondary school on a much stronger footing. Feeling confident in their reading ability from day one can make a huge difference to how they handle the increased demands of the secondary curriculum.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. We've already done the hard work of vetting them – all our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
The price of a tutor varies depending on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an amazing tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in reading?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child won't feel embarrassed to make mistakes. By breaking down concepts into small, manageable steps and celebrating their progress, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief one lesson at a time.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has undergone a thorough background check. We also interview every tutor to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely unique to every child. Some children might just need a few sessions to grasp a specific concept, while others benefit from regular weekly lessons. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, and they can help you create a plan that works for you.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help you find an expert tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback on how they're doing. Many tutors provide regular updates on what they've covered in lessons and how your child is progressing towards their learning goals.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there's no long-term commitment. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular weekly slot with your tutor – whatever works best for your family. It's completely flexible.
