I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school.

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in the Foundation Phase at a Pontypool school. Can a tutor align with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting the curriculum used in Welsh primary schools. You can discuss your child's specific schoolwork with a tutor to ensure their lessons are perfectly aligned and provide targeted support where it's needed most.
We're worried about the transition to secondary schools like West Monmouth School. Can a Phonics tutor help build the core skills needed for that step?
Yes, building strong foundational reading skills is one of the best ways to prepare your child for secondary school. A tutor can help ensure your child's reading and comprehension skills are secure, giving them the confidence to tackle more complex texts across all subjects when they move up.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before you book. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
What if we don't get on with the first Phonics tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 online lessons work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be fun and interactive. Tutors use tools like an interactive whiteboard, games, and screen sharing to make learning Phonics engaging. It provides all the benefits of one-to-one attention in a format that children enjoy.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically starting from £15 an hour. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can tutoring help my child's confidence as well as their reading?
Definitely. For many children, confidence is the biggest barrier. A great tutor provides patient, one-to-one encouragement in a safe space. As your child starts to see their reading skills improve, their self-esteem and enthusiasm for learning often grow too.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, but you can arrange shorter or longer lessons by messaging the tutor directly. For younger children learning Phonics, some parents find that 30 or 45-minute sessions work best to keep them focused and engaged.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Many parents say they quickly notice a positive change in their child's confidence and ability at home and in their schoolwork.
Do you only offer tutoring for core subjects like Phonics?
Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects from primary level through to university, we also offer tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many tutors are available to start within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can get your first lesson booked in.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
