My daughter Ariya has been taking lessons with Joanne for more than 6 months now and she(my daughter) has improved in her phonics and reading so much. Joanne is so kind, patient and a super fun teacher. They started when my daughter was 5 and I was a bit worried with how she would handle online tutoring but Joanne makes it seamless and Ariya is right there with her the entire time. 10/10 teacher!

Evi is such a great tutor - she’s proactive, resourceful and supportive. She’s been tutoring my sister who’s in year 5 and she’s been a massive help in her learning. Evi is very knowledgeable about the syllabus and puts a lot of care when planning lessons and delivering them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thanks Evi!

Brilliant Phonics tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends a primary school in Hindley. Can a tutor help them prepare specifically for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and can create lessons focused on the specific skills your child needs. They use fun, engaging methods to help your child build confidence with sounding out and blending, so they feel prepared and relaxed for the check.
We're worried about the transition to secondary school in the Wigan area. How can early Phonics support help with this?
That's a common concern, and you're right to think ahead. Strong reading skills are the foundation for success in all secondary school subjects. By securing their Phonics knowledge now, you're giving your child the tools they need to confidently handle more complex texts in English, History, and even Science later on.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
We understand that the right relationship is key. 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 tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary 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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor make learning Phonics fun?
Our tutors are brilliant at making learning feel like play. They use interactive tools in our online classroom, like digital whiteboards, games, and fun stories, to keep your child engaged and excited about reading.
Will this really help my child's confidence?
Yes. One-to-one tutoring provides a supportive space where your child gets positive reinforcement and celebrates small wins. As they see their skills improve, their self-esteem grows, which often has a wonderful impact on their attitude towards school in general. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
A typical lesson is focused entirely on your child. It might start with a fun warm-up game, then move on to practising specific sounds or tricky words they're finding difficult, and end with reading a short story together. The tutor adapts every part of the session to your child's needs and energy levels.
How long are the sessions?
You can choose the session length that works best for your child, but most lessons are one hour long. For younger children learning Phonics, some parents find that shorter, 30 or 45-minute sessions can be more effective.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson booked in for this week. It's a simple way to get the support you need, right when you need it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could I find a tutor for something like learning the piano or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like Phonics, Maths, and English, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning an instrument, coding, or even a new language.
