Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's primary school in Kirkby uses a specific phonics scheme. Can a tutor support that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are familiar with the different phonics schemes used in UK primary schools. You can mention your child's specific scheme when you message a tutor to find someone who can work alongside what they're learning in the classroom.
We're concerned about the educational standards in Knowsley. How can a tutor help my child stay on track?
This is a common worry for many parents. A one-to-one tutor provides focused support that is tailored specifically to your child's needs, helping to fill any gaps that might appear in a larger class setting. They can build your child's confidence and ensure they have a really solid grasp of the fundamentals, setting them up for future success.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child clicks with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first Phonics tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online Phonics tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every applicant to ensure they are knowledgeable and professional. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Lessons are interactive and engaging! Tutors use our online classroom, which has a whiteboard, video chat, and other tools to make learning fun. They might use games, stories, and targeted exercises to help your child practise their sounds and build reading skills.
How long are the sessions?
You can choose the session length that works best for your child, but most lessons are around one hour long. For younger children learning phonics, some parents find that shorter, more frequent sessions of 30 or 45 minutes can be very effective.
How quickly will I see my child's confidence improve?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Having a supportive tutor who praises their effort can make a huge difference to how they feel about learning.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and other skills. So whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
How does Tutorful help 90% of students improve by at least one grade?
This is based on data from students studying for graded exams like GCSEs. It comes down to the power of one-to-one, personalised learning. For a subject like Phonics, progress isn't about grades, but about seeing your child move confidently through their reading levels and, most importantly, developing a real love for books.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
