Why Phonics is the Foundation for Your Child's Future Learning
Phonics is much more than just learning letter sounds; it's the key that unlocks the entire world of reading. When your child masters phonics, they gain the ability to decode new words on their own, which builds incredible confidence. This single skill is the bedrock of their education, impacting their understanding in English, History, and even Science. A strong start here ensures they can keep up and feel capable in every subject as they progress through school.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in Year 1 at a primary school in Littlehampton. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Our Phonics tutors are very familiar with the Year 1 screening check. They can create a fun and relaxed environment for your child to practise decoding real and 'nonsense' words, making sure they feel confident and ready for the real thing.
We're thinking ahead to secondary school at The Littlehampton Academy. How can strong phonics skills help my child cope?
That's a great question. Strong phonics skills are the foundation of reading fluency. When a child can read confidently, they can access the entire curriculum more easily, from understanding science textbooks to analysing poetry. It reduces their cognitive load, freeing them up to focus on learning new topics, which is a huge advantage when making the step up to secondary school.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose teaching style you think will connect with your child's personality. Many of our tutors specialise in making learning fun for young children.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, typically starting from £15 an hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 does online tutoring work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for all ages. Tutors use an interactive whiteboard, fun resources, and educational games to keep your child focused and entertained while they learn. It's a convenient and effective way to get expert help from home.
Are all the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient tutor creates a safe space for your child to learn at their own pace. Celebrating small wins, like correctly blending a tricky word, builds self-esteem. As they see their skills improve, their confidence in their own ability grows naturally.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Sessions can be 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes long. For younger children learning Phonics, we often find that one or two 30-minute sessions per week is a great way to build skills without overwhelming them.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with core subjects like Phonics, Maths and English, your child could also learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even skills like coding with one of our expert tutors.
What if my child is really shy?
One-to-one tutoring is often perfect for shy children. It provides a calm, quiet environment away from the pressure of a busy classroom. Our tutors are experienced in helping reserved children open up and feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on what they've covered in lessons and how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions. Most importantly, you'll see your child's growing confidence when they pick up a book to read.
