Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a Gillingham primary. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping young children prepare for the Phonics Screening Check. They can make learning fun and interactive, focusing on the specific areas your child needs to practise so they feel confident and ready for the day.

We're worried about our child keeping up in a large class, especially with the move to Gillingham School in mind. Can a tutor help?

This is a very common concern, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can really help. A tutor gives your child the personal attention that's often difficult in a class of 30. They can build a strong foundation in reading now, which will help them confidently tackle all subjects as they move up through school.

How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?

It's simple to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, 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 with no hidden costs.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. With 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 build my child's confidence in reading?

Confidence comes from success. Our tutors create a safe, positive space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. By breaking down challenges into small, manageable steps, they help your child experience regular 'wins', which quickly builds their self-belief.

Are your tutors qualified to teach Phonics?

Yes. Many of our Phonics tutors are experienced teachers who understand the curriculum inside out. We personally vet every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How does online tutoring actually work?

All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing to make learning engaging and effective.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for building momentum and making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow, and the tutor can share specific achievements and areas they're working on together after each session.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with Phonics, Maths, and English, your child can also learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?

Yes, for many children it's even more effective. Learning from the comfort of home can help them feel more relaxed and focused. Plus, our interactive online classroom has tools that make learning fun and engaging in a way that pen and paper can't.
