Lily E
Lily is a kind, patient, and thoughtful teacher. She understands how to support my autistic child and always gives them the time they need to think and respond without pressure. Her lessons are engaging and well structured, and she also helps children understand feelings, kindness, and how to treat others with respect. My child genuinely enjoys learning with Lily and always looks forward to their lessons. We really appreciate the care and understanding Lily brings to her teaching.

My daughter Ariya has been taking lessons with Joanne for more than 6 months now and she(my daughter) has improved in her phonics and reading so much. Joanne is so kind, patient and a super fun teacher. They started when my daughter was 5 and I was a bit worried with how she would handle online tutoring but Joanne makes it seamless and Ariya is right there with her the entire time. 10/10 teacher!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a grammar school in Newry like St Colman's or Sacred Heart. Can a tutor help prepare my child?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in preparing children for the Transfer Test. They can help build a strong foundation in phonics and literacy, which is crucial for success, and work on building your child's confidence ahead of the exam.

How can an online tutor understand the specific needs of a child in the Newry school system?

Our tutors are experts in the UK curriculum. During your first chat, you can discuss your child's specific schoolwork and the requirements for local schools. Tutors tailor their approach to align with what your child is learning, ensuring the support is relevant and effective.

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

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8. You can see their qualifications and experience clearly listed on their profile.

How much does a Phonics tutor 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 expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

My child is quite shy. How does online tutoring help with that?

One-to-one online lessons can be a great environment for shy children. Learning from the comfort of home, without the pressure of a classroom, often helps them feel more comfortable opening up, asking questions, and building confidence at their own pace.

How quickly will I see my child's confidence improve?

Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. The consistent, positive reinforcement from a dedicated tutor makes a real difference.

Can a tutor make learning phonics fun?

Yes! Great tutors use games, interactive exercises, and engaging activities to make learning feel like play. They are brilliant at finding what sparks your child's interest and using that to help them master their phonics skills.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has all the tools needed for a great lesson.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

Standard sessions are 45 minutes long, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus, especially for younger learners. You can discuss the ideal lesson length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies like learning the guitar or coding?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with core subjects like Phonics, Maths, and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
