Joanne W
My daughter Ariya has been taking lessons with Joanne for more than 6 months now and she(my daughter) has improved in her phonics and reading so much. Joanne is so kind, patient and a super fun teacher. They started when my daughter was 5 and I was a bit worried with how she would handle online tutoring but Joanne makes it seamless and Ariya is right there with her the entire time. 10/10 teacher!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Port Talbot. Can an online tutor help with the Welsh curriculum's focus on two languages?
Absolutely. It's a common concern for parents. An online tutor can provide dedicated support for English phonics, helping to build a strong and clear foundation. This complements what your child learns in school and can help prevent any confusion, making them feel more secure in their reading.
My child will eventually go to a local comprehensive like Ysgol Cwm Brombil. How can early phonics help prepare them?
A strong start in reading builds confidence that lasts a lifetime. When a child feels capable and confident in their reading from an early age, they are better prepared to tackle the more complex subjects they'll face in secondary school. It's the bedrock of all future learning, setting them up for success right through to their GCSEs.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
Finding the perfect match is easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents just like you. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it feels like a great fit.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and rigorously vetted before they can join us. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind that your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does private Phonics tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find one that fits your budget. All costs are shown clearly on their profiles, so there are no hidden surprises.
What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?
Our online classroom is designed to be fun and engaging for young learners. Tutors use an interactive whiteboard, share resources, and play educational games to make learning phonics feel like fun. It's a live, one-to-one video call where your child gets the tutor's full attention.
My child is very young. Is online tutoring suitable?
Yes, our tutors are experienced in making online learning fun and effective for children of all ages. They use interactive tools, games, and a friendly approach to keep younger children engaged and focused throughout the session.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. With 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 long are the tutoring sessions?
You can decide what works best for your child. For younger children, lessons are often 30 or 45 minutes to keep them engaged, while older students might prefer a full hour. You can discuss and agree on the ideal lesson length directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Phonics?
Not at all! We believe in learning for life. Alongside core school subjects, our tutors can help your child explore hobbies and develop new skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding.
How quickly will my child's confidence improve?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a change very quickly. The one-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment often helps children feel more comfortable to ask questions and try, which is the most important first step in building their confidence.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that family life is busy. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can reschedule or cancel a lesson with your tutor, we just ask that you give them at least 24 hours' notice.
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.
