Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is starting at a Holmfirth primary school soon. Can a tutor help them feel prepared?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping young children build foundational skills and confidence before they even start school or as they settle into Reception and Year 1. They can make learning phonics fun and gentle, easing any worries and ensuring your child feels ready and excited for their journey at their new school.

We're thinking ahead to Holmfirth High School. How does early phonics help with that?

It's smart to think ahead! A strong grasp of phonics is the bedrock of all future learning. When a child can read fluently, they can access the entire curriculum with confidence. This early success prevents them from having to 'catch up' later and makes the transition to a larger school like Holmfirth High much less daunting.

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

We understand that finding the right personality match is key, especially for younger children. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to teaching young children. Look for someone whose style you think will make your child feel comfortable and engaged.

My child is feeling anxious about reading. How can a tutor help?

Our tutors are brilliant at creating a positive and encouraging learning space. In a one-to-one session, your child gets the tutor's full attention, so they can build trust and ask questions without feeling shy. Tutors use praise and gentle guidance to celebrate small wins, which works wonders for rebuilding a child's confidence.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for tutors to use fun, visual resources. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection.

How much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.

How do you make sure the tutors are safe and professional?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best, most professional tutors in the UK.

Is Tutorful just for core school subjects like Phonics?

Not at all! While we love helping with academic subjects from the 11+ and GCSEs right up to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.

How often should my child have a lesson?

For Phonics, consistency is often key. Many parents find a weekly one-hour session works perfectly to build momentum without overwhelming their child. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to ask questions. You'll likely see the progress for yourself in their growing confidence with schoolwork and their willingness to read at home.

What kind of results can I expect?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is always to build confidence and understanding. It's why over 200,000 students have used Tutorful, and our tutors are trusted by over 4,100+ reviewers. For Phonics, success often looks like a child who is excited to pick up a book and is no longer afraid of sounding out new words.
