Why a Strong Start in Phonics Matters So Much
Phonics is more than just another school test; it's the foundation for all future learning. When your child can confidently decode words, it opens up the joy of reading and helps them understand everything from storybooks to science homework. Mastering these early skills builds a resilience that will support them right through their school years, giving them the strong start they need to succeed.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in Year 1 at a Felixstowe primary. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Phonics Screening Check?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. They can create a positive and relaxed environment to help your child practise blending sounds and reading real and nonsense words, ensuring they feel prepared and confident for the test.
We want to give our child a strong foundation before they move up to Felixstowe School. Can tutoring help with this?
Definitely. A solid grasp of phonics is crucial for the transition to secondary school. By building strong reading skills now, a tutor can help ensure your child is ready to tackle the more complex texts and subjects they'll encounter later, setting them up for long-term success.
What if we don't get on with the first Phonics tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way to see if their personality and teaching style are a good fit for your child before you book a lesson.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs to worry about.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. How can a tutor help?
A one-to-one tutor can work wonders for confidence. By providing patient encouragement and celebrating small victories in a supportive space, they help your child see that they are capable of making progress. This positive reinforcement is key to rebuilding their self-esteem.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been interviewed and have had their ID and qualifications verified. We also carry out enhanced DBS background checks, and we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Lessons are interactive and tailored to your child. A tutor might use our online whiteboard to play sound-matching games, read stories together, or practise writing letters and words. The focus is on making learning fun and engaging to keep your child focused and happy.
How quickly will my child make progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The personalised attention of one-to-one lessons often helps children grasp concepts much faster than in a busy classroom.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing resources, and a messaging function. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Tutors typically offer sessions of 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. For younger children learning Phonics, shorter, more frequent sessions of 30 or 45 minutes often work best to keep them engaged.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we're here to help with core subjects like Phonics, Maths, and English, your child could also learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language.
