Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're worried about the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check at my child's primary school in Irlam. Can an online tutor help?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Irlam come to us. Our tutors are experienced in making preparation for the screening check feel positive and fun. They can identify specific sounds your child finds tricky and use games and targeted activities to build their confidence, so they feel ready and capable on the day.

How can online tutoring build a strong reading foundation for my child before they start at Irlam and Cadishead Academy?

A strong foundation in Phonics is crucial for the transition to secondary school. Our tutors focus on deep-rooted understanding, not just memorisation. This ensures your child becomes a fluent, confident reader who can tackle complex texts across all subjects when they move up to Irlam and Cadishead Academy.

Is online Phonics tutoring as effective as in-person for a young child?

Yes, and often it's even better. Our tutors use interactive whiteboards, fun digital resources, and engaging games that keep young children focused and excited to learn. Plus, learning from a familiar home environment in Irlam can help your child feel more relaxed and receptive.

Does online tutoring mean my child in Irlam can get a specialist Phonics tutor, even if there aren't many nearby?

That's exactly right. It's one of the biggest benefits. Your location in Irlam doesn't limit your choice. You can connect with a top-rated, fully-vetted Phonics specialist from anywhere in the UK, ensuring your child gets the very best support available.

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

Finding the right personality match is so important, especially for younger learners. We have a first lesson guarantee. If you feel the fit isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every single tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and verify their qualifications and experience. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform.

How long is a typical online Phonics session for a young child?

For younger children, we find that shorter, more frequent sessions are most effective. Many parents opt for 30- or 45-minute lessons to keep their child engaged. However, you can book lessons for up to an hour – it's completely flexible and you can discuss the best approach with your tutor.

What equipment do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs in your browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

My child is great at reading but struggles with numbers. Do you offer online maths tutors for learners in Irlam?

We do! We have expert online tutors across more than 300 subjects, from primary maths and science right through to A-Level subjects and even university-level support. We can definitely help find the perfect maths tutor for your child.

How much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, but prices for Phonics tutoring typically start from around £15-£20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find someone who fits your budget perfectly.

Can I get feedback on my child's progress?

Of course. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on. You can also message them at any time through the platform to ask questions or discuss their learning plan. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.

Can my child learn a musical instrument or a new language online with Tutorful?

Yes! Learning isn't just about academics. We have a huge range of tutors who teach everything from guitar and piano to Spanish and coding. It's a great way for your child to explore a new passion from your home in Irlam.
