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!

We’ve been so pleased with Rebecca as our daughter’s phonics tutor! Since starting lessons, our daughter’s confidence has grown so much, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she enjoys learning now. She looks forward to each session and always comes away smiling. The tutor has a warm and encouraging approach that really brings out the best in her. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had.

My child is aiming for a Lisburn grammar school like Wallace High. Can a tutor help with transfer test prep?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation. They can help build the core phonics and reading skills that are essential for the AQE and GL tests, giving your child the tools and confidence to perform at their best.
How does online tutoring work for us here in Lisburn?
The great thing about online tutoring is that it gives your family access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet with an internet connection to learn from the comfort of home, saving you time and travel.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personal fit is crucial for learning. 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 do I choose the right phonics tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free introductory video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them before booking a lesson.
How much does online phonics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe for my child to learn with?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does one-to-one tutoring help build my child's confidence?
In a one-to-one session, your child has the tutor's full attention. This creates a safe space where they feel comfortable asking questions without any fear of being judged by peers. Tutors celebrate small wins and adapt to your child's pace, which is a huge confidence booster.
Do you only offer tutoring for primary subjects like phonics?
Not at all! We have expert tutors for a huge range of subjects and skills. Whether your child needs help with GCSE Maths, A-Level French, or wants to learn a new skill like playing the guitar or coding, we have a tutor who can help.
What equipment do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer, laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, like an interactive whiteboard, built right in.
How long is a typical online session?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time through the platform to ask questions or discuss their development. It's a collaborative process between you, your child, and their tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply use our search to find tutors you like the look of, send them a message to ask any questions, and then you can book your first lesson for a time that suits you. Many families find a tutor and have their first session within a few days.
