How Phonics Builds a Foundation for Your Child's Future
Phonics is more than just learning letter sounds; it’s the key that unlocks the world of reading. A strong grasp of phonics gives your child the tools to decode new words confidently, turning reading from a challenge into a joy. This early confidence is crucial, as it underpins their ability to learn and succeed in every other subject as they progress through their school in Neath Port Talbot and beyond. It builds the foundation they need to write stories, understand science, and tackle maths problems with self-assurance.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are the tutors familiar with the Curriculum for Wales used in Neath Port Talbot schools?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting children who are following the Curriculum for Wales. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and even message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and how they align with the local curriculum.
My child attends a Welsh-medium school. Can I find a tutor who understands bilingual learning?
Absolutely. We have tutors who are fluent Welsh speakers or have specific experience supporting children in bilingual education settings. You can use our search filters to find tutors with these skills and ensure your child gets support that understands their specific learning environment.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can read reviews from other parents, check each tutor's qualifications and experience, and watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the one who feels like the best fit for your child.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about reading?
Our tutors create a positive and patient learning space where it's okay to make mistakes. By breaking down phonics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help your child build skills and self-belief, transforming their relationship with reading.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have a 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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and vetted before they can join the 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 much does a Phonics tutor in Neath Port Talbot cost?
The price of tutoring varies as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, making it easy to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Phonics, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How does online tutoring work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for all ages. Tutors use interactive tools like a whiteboard, file sharing, and fun activities to keep your child focused and involved in the lesson, just as they would be in person.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no need to download any complicated software.
How long are the online tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, but many tutors offer shorter sessions of 30 or 45 minutes, which can be ideal for younger children learning phonics. You can discuss what works best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly! Many tutors are available to start within a few days. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson at a time that works for you both.
