Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a primary in Penarth like Evenlode or Victoria. Can a tutor help them keep up?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting children at this crucial early stage. They can tailor sessions to match the specific phonics phases your child's school is teaching, helping them build confidence and stay on track with their classmates.

We have our sights set on Stanwell School. How can early phonics tutoring help with this?

A strong foundation in reading is vital for success across all subjects. By mastering phonics early, your child will become a more confident and able learner, which is excellent preparation for the academic demands of top secondary schools like Stanwell.

What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?

We want to make sure it's the perfect match for your child. 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 do I pick the right Phonics tutor for my child?

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our absolute priority. All our tutors are background-checked with an enhanced DBS check and we interview every single one. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.

How do online lessons work for young children?

Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard and other tools that make learning fun and engaging. Tutors use games, shared resources, and activities to keep young children focused. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in reading?

This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, patient space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. Celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step is a fantastic way to restore their self-belief.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and are set by the tutors themselves. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, and the cost is always clearly displayed on their profile with no hidden fees.

How long is a typical lesson for a young child?

Lessons are usually an hour long, but our tutors are flexible. You can arrange shorter sessions if that works better for your child's concentration span. Most families find one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see real progress.

Can tutoring help my child develop a love for reading?

Absolutely. When a child feels confident in their ability, reading stops being a chore and becomes a joy. Our tutors are brilliant at finding books, games and topics that spark a child's interest, helping to nurture a lifelong love of reading.

Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Phonics?

Not at all! While we cover everything from Phonics to A-Level Physics, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, such as learning to play the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.

What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?

We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With thousands of expert tutors, you have an incredible choice. Our platform makes it easy to manage everything, and with over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can trust you're in good hands.
