Hadika M
Dedicated Phonics tutor
As a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester, I saw firsthand how many of my classmates struggled with Maths and English. It wasn't just a few; it was a common challenge. Seeing their difficulties sparked something in me. I found that I genuinely loved helping them understand concepts that seemed confusing. The feeling of watching them grasp a difficult idea was incredibly rewarding, and that's when I discovered my passion for teaching.I strongly disagree with the idea that people are naturally "good" at one subject and "bad" at another. I believe that anyone can learn anything...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at Gatley Primary, and I'm worried about them keeping up. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. It's a common concern for parents. A personal tutor can work alongside what your child is learning at school, offering extra practice and a confidence boost. They can focus on any specific areas your child finds challenging, ensuring they feel prepared and positive in the classroom.

We're thinking about schools like Cheadle Hulme High School for the future. Can phonics tutoring now really make a difference?

Yes, it truly can. A strong foundation in reading is the most important building block for all future academic success. By ensuring your child is a confident and capable reader now, you are setting them up to handle the demands of any competitive secondary school later on.

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 recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to successful learning, especially for younger children.

Can a tutor help my child prepare for the phonics screening check?

Yes, many of our Phonics tutors are experienced in helping children feel ready and confident for their phonics screening check. They can make practice feel like a game, taking the pressure off and ensuring your child can show what they know.

What if my child doesn't click with their Phonics tutor?

We understand that finding the right personality match is crucial. 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 much does online Phonics tuition cost in Gatley?

The price of tuition varies as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.

What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?

Lessons are designed to be fun and interactive. A tutor might use our online whiteboard for games, share engaging stories, and use activities to practise blending sounds and reading words. Each session is tailored to your child's needs and pace.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you updated on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. The biggest sign, however, is often seeing your child's own confidence grow as they start to read more willingly.

How are your tutors vetted?

We take your child's safety and quality of education very seriously. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and have to prove their expertise to be accepted onto the platform.

How long should a phonics tutoring session be for a young child?

Our online lessons are typically 45 minutes long, which we find is a great length of time to keep younger children engaged and focused without them becoming tired. Your tutor will always adapt the pace of the lesson to suit your child's energy levels.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tuition provides a safe space where your child is the sole focus. There's no fear of getting it 'wrong' in front of a class. Our tutors offer constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps your child see themselves as a capable learner.

Is Tutorful just for core school subjects, or can you help with hobbies like learning guitar or coding too?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core subjects like Phonics, Maths, and English, you can also find brilliant tutors to help you or your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, coding, or even public speaking.
