Supporting Inverness Children with Expert Online Phonics Tutors
Perhaps a quiet worry began in P1 or P2, seeing your child struggle with phonics at their Inverness primary school. You might be concerned they're not meeting the early Curriculum for Excellence benchmarks, or dreading that a slow start in reading could echo through their time at Millburn Academy or Inverness Royal Academy.
We understand these early years are crucial. Tutorful is here to help lift that weight. We connect your child in Inverness with expert online phonics tutors from across the UK, chosen specifically for their needs, so you don't have to become a tutoring expert yourself.

Thoughtful Phonics Tutoring, Tailored for Your Child's Progress
Finding the right phonics tutor can feel overwhelming, especially if you've never looked for one before. You don't need to sift through profiles or become an expert in educational jargon. Instead, tell us about your child's specific needs, and we'll thoughtfully match them with an experienced online tutor. This isn't just about finding someone who understands phonics; it's about connecting with a patient, encouraging expert who knows how to build confidence and make learning enjoyable for your child.
Forget static video calls. Tutorful's interactive online classroom is designed specifically for engaging learning. Your child and their tutor will work together on a shared whiteboard, sounding out words, blending letters, and marking up text in real-time. Annotation tools allow the tutor to highlight tricky sounds or explain letter combinations visually. Every session is recorded, so your child can revisit those phonics explanations anytime, reinforcing their understanding and preparing for future lessons.
Online tutoring means no more worrying about travel across Inverness or disrupting your family routine. Your child can learn from home, fitting sessions around school, clubs, or quiet evenings. This flexibility also means access to the best phonics tutors from across the UK, not just who lives nearby. And if, for any reason, the first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we'll cover that initial session and help you find a new one. It's support that truly works for your family, on your schedule.

Sara C
Sara has been fantastic with my 5-year-old. I initially shared my concerns about Dawud’s reading and maths, and she reassured me that with the right support, he would improve and be ready for the phonics screening. I noticed a significant boost in his confidence and reading ability even after the first session. Highly recommended — she is both skilled and very kind.

We’re very happy to have Teacher Emma as our son’s Phonics teacher. She is very encouraging and patient, which makes a big difference. As we’ve just moved to the UK and English is not our first language, we truly appreciate how smoothly our son is able to learn with her.

Emma has been teaching my son (aged 6) and daughter (aged 3) over the last two months. Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging. Our children have already made exceptional progress given the short time she has spent with them! Thank you so much Emma :)

Lily is a kind, patient, and thoughtful teacher. She understands how to support my autistic child and always gives them the time they need to think and respond without pressure.
Her lessons are engaging and well structured, and she also helps children understand feelings, kindness, and how to treat others with respect. My child genuinely enjoys learning with Lily and always looks forward to their lessons. We really appreciate the care and understanding Lily brings to her teaching.

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!
