Alice A
Phonics Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Newton Abbot and are thinking about the grammar schools in Torbay. Can a tutor help build the strong reading foundation needed for the 11+?

Absolutely. A strong grasp of reading is fundamental to success in the 11+ exams. Our tutors can help your child build deep-rooted confidence in Phonics, which is the essential building block for the advanced comprehension and vocabulary skills they'll need for the exam.

How can an online tutor understand the curriculum or expectations for schools in the Newton Abbot area?

Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are very familiar with the UK National Curriculum, including the Phonics Screening Check. While they are online, their expertise is in identifying and addressing the core skills your child needs to meet and exceed the standards expected in any UK primary school.

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

You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.

My child's confidence feels low. How can a tutor help?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors are experts at giving praise and breaking down topics into small, manageable steps, which helps rebuild self-esteem with every session.

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

We know how important the right fit is. 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 much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can you help with other interests?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills! While we have experts for core subjects like Phonics, Maths and English, you can also find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, coding in Python, or even a new language.

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 applicant, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply. We also read reviews from other parents to ensure quality is always high.

What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?

Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A Phonics tutor might use fun games, share digital flashcards, or read stories together to make learning engaging and effective for your child.

How often should my child have a lesson?

For building foundational skills like Phonics, consistency is key. Most parents find that one session a week works perfectly to build momentum without overwhelming their child. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to you after sessions, so you'll always be kept in the loop. The biggest sign, however, will be seeing your child's confidence grow and their willingness to read at home and in school.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's simple. All you need is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
