Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in Year 1 and we're worried about the Phonics Screening Check. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents in Ormskirk seek support. A tutor can make preparing for the check feel like a game, using fun activities to practise blending sounds and reading both real and nonsense words in a relaxed, one-to-one setting.
We want to give our child the best chance for schools like Ormskirk School or St Bede's. Does a strong start in Phonics really help?
Yes, it makes a huge difference. Strong reading skills developed through Phonics are the foundation for success in every single subject. When a child reads confidently, they can understand and engage with their learning more deeply, which is a key advantage throughout their entire school journey.
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. Look for someone who specialises in early years education and whose personality you think will be a great match for your child.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 if my child has lost confidence with reading?
A one-to-one tutor provides a patient and encouraging space where your child is the sole focus. They can celebrate small wins, gently correct mistakes without pressure, and tailor activities to your child's interests to help them rediscover the joy of reading.
Are the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to engage with their tutor in fun and creative ways, all from the comfort of your home.
How long is a typical tutoring session for a young child?
For younger children learning Phonics, sessions are often 30 or 45 minutes to keep them focused and engaged. However, you can discuss the ideal lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Consistency is key, so most parents find a weekly session works best to build momentum without being overwhelming. You can arrange a schedule that fits your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they’ve been working on, and the next steps. You can message them at any time to ask questions and stay involved in your child’s learning journey.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, explore coding, or pick up a new language for fun, you can find expert tutors to help them pursue their passions.
