Why Phonics is the Foundation for Your Child's Future Learning
Phonics is much more than just the Year 1 check; it's the foundation for all future learning. When your child understands how to decode sounds and blend them into words, they don't just learn to read – they unlock the ability to learn independently. This fundamental skill is crucial for understanding everything from storybooks to science textbooks, building the confidence they'll need for their GCSEs and setting them on a strong path for their time at secondary schools like Cams Hill or Fareham Academy.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive Fareham secondary school like Cams Hill. Can a tutor help build a strong foundation now?
Absolutely. A strong grasp of phonics is the bedrock of all future learning. By building your child's confidence and skills in reading now, a tutor helps ensure they are not only ready for the Year 1 screening check, but are also well-prepared for the academic demands of excellent secondary schools later on.
We live in Fareham. Are the Phonics tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK and lessons take place online. This gives you a much wider choice of expert Phonics specialists than would be available locally, so you can find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
What is the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and how can a tutor help?
It's a short, simple check that schools use to see how your child is progressing with their phonics. A tutor can help by making learning fun and stress-free, using games and tailored activities to practise decoding real and nonsense words so your child feels completely confident and prepared on the day.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's really important to us that your child feels happy and supported.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many of our Phonics tutors are experienced primary school teachers. We recommend messaging a few to find someone you feel is the right fit for your child's needs and personality.
How can a tutor make learning phonics fun for a young child?
Our tutors are experts at making learning engaging. They use interactive tools, educational games, and positive encouragement to make lessons feel like playtime. This helps build a love of reading and takes the pressure off your child.
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 a tutor that works for you. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay as you go for the lessons you book.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto Tutorful.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard to make learning collaborative and fun.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session, letting you know what they've worked on and how your child is getting on. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to read more fluently and tackle new words with enthusiasm.
How long is a typical tutoring session for a child learning Phonics?
For younger children, we often find that shorter, more frequent sessions of 30 to 45 minutes work best to keep them engaged. However, sessions are typically an hour long, and you can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies like learning guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with core academics like Phonics, Maths, and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child anything from coding and Spanish to playing the guitar or piano.
