Evi C
Evi is such a great tutor - she’s proactive, resourceful and supportive. She’s been tutoring my sister who’s in year 5 and she’s been a massive help in her learning. Evi is very knowledgeable about the syllabus and puts a lot of care when planning lessons and delivering them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thanks Evi!

We’ve been so pleased with Rebecca as our daughter’s phonics tutor! Since starting lessons, our daughter’s confidence has grown so much, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she enjoys learning now. She looks forward to each session and always comes away smiling. The tutor has a warm and encouraging approach that really brings out the best in her. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a phonics tutor help prepare my child for the Transfer Test (AQE/GL) in the long run?
Absolutely. While phonics is taught in the early years, it provides the essential foundation for the reading fluency and comprehension skills your child will need later on. A strong grasp of phonics is the first step towards tackling the verbal reasoning components of the AQE and GL assessments with confidence.
Are your tutors familiar with the P1/P2 curriculum in Northern Ireland?
Many of our tutors have experience with the curricula across the UK, including Northern Ireland. When you search, you can view each tutor's profile, read reviews from other parents, and message them before booking to ask about their specific experience with the local curriculum.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding someone your child connects with. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors to discuss your child's needs before you book. This helps you find the perfect personality and teaching style for your family.
What 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 a tutor help my child if they've lost their reading confidence?
A great tutor does more than just teach; they build confidence. By providing patient, one-to-one encouragement in a safe space, they can help your child overcome their worries, celebrate small wins, and rediscover a love for learning.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share resources. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How much do online Phonics tutors in Northern Ireland cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a background check, and we've personally interviewed them to ensure they are of the highest quality.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Phonics?
Not at all! While we cover all core school subjects, we also have amazing tutors who can help your child explore hobbies and develop new skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is a great starting point. This provides consistency without being overwhelming. You can always discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's goals.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to settle in, work through a topic properly, and recap what's been learned. For younger children, some tutors may offer shorter, 30 or 45-minute sessions.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of parents across the UK. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews and more than 200,000 happy students, we're dedicated to helping you find the perfect tutor to help your child succeed.
