Creative Phonics tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities.

That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child's school in Middleton is preparing for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Can a tutor help with this specifically?

Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. They can help your child build confidence with the specific skills needed, from identifying sounds to reading real and 'nonsense' words, all in a fun and low-pressure way.

We're worried our child is falling behind their friends at their Middleton primary school. How can a tutor help them catch up?

It's a common worry, and a tutor can be a great help. They provide patient, one-to-one attention that isn't always possible in a busy classroom. By focusing on the exact areas your child finds tricky, they can help close any gaps and rebuild their confidence, allowing them to participate more happily in class.

How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?

You can view detailed tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find someone your child will connect with.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the UK's best.

My child is losing confidence with reading. How can a tutor help?

Confidence is key. A private tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to learn at their own pace. By celebrating small wins and turning challenges into achievements, they help rebuild your child’s self-esteem, which is just as important as the academic skills they learn.

How do online Phonics lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Tutors use fun, effective resources to make learning interactive and hold your child's attention, right from the comfort of your home.

How much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How often should my child have a lesson?

For young children learning phonics, consistency is often very helpful. Most parents find that one 50-minute session a week is a great way to build momentum and reinforce what they're learning at school without it feeling overwhelming.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback so you're always up to date. You'll also see it for yourself in your child's growing confidence and willingness to read. Tutors will work with you to ensure lessons are helping your child meet their goals.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my older child learn something else?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like Phonics, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language.

Why should I choose Tutorful?

We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on matching your child with a tutor who won't just teach them a subject, but will inspire confidence and a love of learning. Join over 200,000 happy students who have found success with us.
