Why a Strong Start in Phonics is So Important
Phonics is much more than just a school test; it's the foundation for all future learning. When your child feels confident blending sounds and recognising words, it opens up the joy of reading stories and the ability to understand new ideas in every other subject. This early confidence is key, helping them transition smoothly through primary school and preparing them for the challenges of secondary school at places like Neale-Wade Academy.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can a tutor help my child with the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Our tutors are brilliant at making exam prep feel less daunting. They use fun, game-based learning to target the specific sounds and 'alien words' your child will encounter in the check, building their skills and confidence so they can walk in feeling ready and relaxed.
My child will eventually go to a local secondary like Neale-Wade Academy. How does early Phonics help?
A strong foundation in Phonics is the bedrock of your child's entire education. When they can read fluently, they can access the curriculum in every other subject, from Science to History. This early confidence makes the transition to secondary school much smoother and sets them up for long-term success.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child clicks with is the most important first step.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost in March?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The price is based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget and your child's needs perfectly.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 online lessons work for young children?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging for young learners. Tutors use tools like an interactive whiteboard, fun resources, and educational games to keep your child focused and make learning feel like play.
My child is shy. How will a tutor help them open up?
One-to-one tutoring is a wonderful environment for shy children. It provides a safe, patient space without the pressure of a full classroom. Our tutors are skilled at building rapport and using your child's interests to help them feel comfortable and grow in confidence.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has been background-checked and thoroughly vetted by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident in your choice.
How long will my child need a Phonics tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual needs. Some children just need a few sessions to boost their confidence before the screening check, while others benefit from regular weekly support to build a really solid foundation. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer help with school subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we cover all academic subjects from Phonics to A-Level Chemistry, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or even learn a new language, we have a tutor who can help.
What results can I expect?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For Phonics, success is often measured in confidence. You can expect to see your child become a more enthusiastic and capable reader, ready to tackle new challenges at school.
How can a tutor make learning Phonics fun?
Our tutors are experts in creativity! They use interactive whiteboards, educational games, songs, and stories tailored to your child's interests to make lessons engaging. The goal is to make learning feel so enjoyable that your child looks forward to their sessions.
