Why Strong Phonics Skills Are So Important for Your Child
Phonics is much more than just a test to pass in Year 1; it’s the key that unlocks the door to all future learning. When your child can decode words with confidence, they can access the entire curriculum, from understanding stories in English to reading instructions in a science experiment. Mastering these foundational skills early on builds a strong base for their entire journey through school, helping them to succeed in their GCSEs, A-Levels, and whatever they choose to do next.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child will be starting at a primary school in Farnworth. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Many parents in Farnworth seek extra support for this reason. Our tutors are experienced in making phonics fun and engaging, helping your child build the core skills and confidence needed to do their best in the screening check and become a happy reader.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Farnworth primary schools?
Yes, our tutors are well-versed in the UK National Curriculum, which forms the basis for teaching in all state primary schools, including those in Farnworth. They can tailor their lessons to support what your child is learning in the classroom, helping to reinforce key concepts.
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 find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose teaching style and personality you think your child will connect with. A positive relationship is key to successful learning.
How much does an online Phonics tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find one that fits your budget. The cost for each tutor is clearly displayed on their profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
How can online tutoring work for a young child learning Phonics?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging for young learners. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, fun resources, and educational games to make learning dynamic. For many children, learning from the comfort of home helps them feel more relaxed and focused.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence with reading?
A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe and patient environment where there's no fear of making mistakes in front of a class. They can go back to basics, celebrate small wins, and tailor activities to your child's interests to help them rediscover the joy of reading.
How long are the tutoring sessions for a young child?
You can arrange the session length with your tutor. For younger children, shorter, more frequent sessions of 30 or 45 minutes often work best to keep them engaged and focused. You can discuss what will be most effective for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
What makes Tutorful's tutors a safe choice for my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor and, with only 1 in 8 applicants being accepted, you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson arranged in less than 24 hours, depending on your and the tutor's availability.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. The biggest sign, however, will often be seeing your child's confidence grow as they start to read more willingly and happily.
Is Tutorful just for core school subjects like Phonics, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding or playing the guitar to a new language. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject!
