Why a Strong Start in Phonics Opens Doors for Your Child
Phonics is much more than just learning letter sounds; it's the key that unlocks the entire world of learning. When your child can read with confidence and fluency, it doesn't just help them in English. It builds a strong foundation for understanding Maths problems, discovering Science, and exploring History. Mastering this fundamental skill early gives your child the best possible start, building the confidence they need for those crucial early school assessments and setting them on a path to success throughout their education.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 4+ and 7+ assessments for schools in Pimlico. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our Phonics tutors have specific experience helping young children prepare for these competitive entrance assessments. They can help build the reading fluency and comprehension skills your child needs, while also developing their confidence for the assessment environment.
My child's school in Pimlico has very high expectations. How can a tutor help them keep up?
A one-to-one tutor can provide focused support that complements your child's schoolwork. By identifying any small gaps in their understanding early on and reinforcing what they learn in class, a tutor ensures your child feels confident and capable of meeting and exceeding those high expectations.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose teaching style and personality you feel will connect with your child and make learning enjoyable for them.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost in Pimlico?
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.
How does online tutoring for phonics actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Tutors use fun, engaging resources like digital flashcards and games to make learning phonics interactive and enjoyable for young children.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to recognise sounds, blend words, and read more fluently. Many parents tell us they see a difference in just a few weeks.
How long are the sessions for a young child learning phonics?
You can arrange the session length with your tutor. For younger children, shorter, more frequent sessions of around 30-45 minutes often work best to keep them engaged and focused.
My child is very shy. How can an online tutor help them?
One-to-one online lessons can be a great environment for a shy child. They are in the comfort of their own home, which helps them feel safe. Our tutors are skilled at building rapport and creating a supportive space where your child can build confidence at their own pace.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find a tutor and book your first lesson in just a few minutes. Many of our tutors can offer sessions within a few days, so your child can get the support they need right away.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like music or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics like Phonics, Maths, and English, your child can learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
