Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is anxious about the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Can a tutor help with this specifically?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping young children prepare for the Phonics Screening Check. They can make practice feel fun and low-pressure, building your child's skills and confidence so they feel ready and calm on the day.

We're in Heanor and thinking ahead. How does mastering phonics now help for a bigger school like Heanor Gate Spencer Academy?

A strong foundation in phonics is crucial for the step up to secondary school. When a child can read fluently, they can access the whole curriculum, from science textbooks to history sources. It builds their independence and confidence, making the transition much smoother.

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

You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend finding a tutor whose personality and teaching style you think will be a great match for your child. You can even message them before booking to ask any questions.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit 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.

Are your tutors qualified to teach early years reading?

Yes, many of our Phonics tutors are qualified teachers with specific experience in early years education. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked to ensure your child is in safe hands.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost in Heanor?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring work for a hands-on subject like 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 sounds and letters a dynamic and enjoyable experience for your child.

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

Most tutors offer sessions ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. For younger children, shorter, more frequent sessions can often be most effective at keeping them engaged and focused. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

How quickly will I see my child's confidence improve?

Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. That feeling of having a supportive expert on their side can make a huge difference.

Do you only offer help with school subjects like Phonics, or can my child learn other skills too?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside core academic subjects, your child can learn anything from coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language. There's something for every interest.

Is there a way to track my child's progress?

Yes, you can speak directly with your tutor about your child's progress. They will be happy to provide regular feedback on the areas they're working on and the improvements they are making.

What do I need to get started with online tutoring?

It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, with no complicated software to install.
