Why a Strong Phonics Foundation is So Important
Phonics isn't just about sounding out letters; it's the key that unlocks the whole world of reading for your child. A solid grasp of sounds and blending helps them read with fluency and understanding, which is vital for every single subject they'll encounter. This early confidence doesn't just help them pass the Phonics Screening Check; it builds a love of learning that will support them right through their school journey, from their first day in reception to their GCSEs and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child will be doing the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check soon. Can a tutor help them feel prepared?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the Phonics Screening Check and can help your child build the skills and confidence they need. They use fun, game-based approaches to make learning feel relaxed, ensuring your child feels ready and at ease.
We live in Exmouth and are keen for our child to get a strong start at a local primary like Marpool. Can tutoring help?
Yes, a tutor can be a huge help. By giving your child a solid foundation in phonics before they even start, or providing extra support in Reception and Year 1, you're helping them walk into the classroom feeling confident and ready to learn alongside their peers.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by their experience with early years education, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and verify their ID and qualifications, accepting only 1 in every 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who fits. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Lessons are interactive and fun! Tutors use our online classroom, which has features like a whiteboard and screen sharing, to play games, read stories, and practise sounds. The focus is always on keeping your child engaged and enjoying the process of learning to read.
How long should a lesson be for a young child?
For younger children learning Phonics, shorter, more frequent sessions are often best to keep them focused. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute lessons. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will my child's confidence improve?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. That one-to-one attention and praise from a tutor who is completely focused on them can make a world of difference.
What technology do we need to get started?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop, computer, or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
Can tutoring help my child actually enjoy reading?
Yes, that's one of the main goals. When reading 'clicks' and stops being a struggle, it becomes a pleasure. A great tutor can find books and topics your child is passionate about, helping to spark a genuine, lifelong love of reading.
Do you only offer help with academic subjects like Phonics?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can help your child explore hobbies and new skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost anything they want to learn.
