Why Phonics is the Foundation for All Future Learning
Phonics is much more than just learning letter sounds; it's the key that unlocks the world of reading. When your child feels confident blending sounds to read words like 'ship' or 'train', they don't just learn to read a book – they gain the ability to access every other subject. From understanding a science textbook to tackling a maths problem, strong reading skills are essential. This early foundation is the first step on a path to achieving their goals, whether that's acing their GCSEs or thriving at university.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a prep school in Godalming. Can a tutor align with their specific phonics scheme?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with various phonics programmes used in UK schools. During your initial chat, you can discuss your child's current school curriculum with the tutor to ensure their approach is consistent and complementary.
We want our child to have a strong start before entering one of Godalming's competitive primaries. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common goal for parents. A tutor can help build your child's pre-reading skills and phonics knowledge, giving them a confident and positive start to their formal education and ensuring they don't feel left behind.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and needs. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking to find someone you feel is a great match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child is losing confidence with reading. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. This patient support is often key to rebuilding their self-esteem and fostering a love for reading.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom with features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has undergone an enhanced DBS check, and we personally interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and approach for one-to-one tutoring.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Sessions are typically one hour long. For a young child learning phonics, many parents start with one session a week to build momentum without it feeling overwhelming. You can discuss the ideal frequency directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor make learning phonics fun?
Great tutors know how to make learning engaging. They often use interactive games, fun stories, and positive reinforcement to make lessons enjoyable and help your child associate reading with success and fun.
What if my child masters phonics? Can the tutor help with early reading?
Yes. The wonderful thing about one-to-one tuition is that it grows with your child. Once they are confident with phonics, the tutor can move on to building reading fluency, comprehension skills, and exploring a wider range of books.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with Phonics, Maths, or 11+ preparation, you can also find expert tutors for hobbies and skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
