Building a Confident Reader: Why Phonics is Key
Mastering Phonics is about so much more than passing a test; it’s the key that unlocks every other subject for your child. When a child can decode words with confidence, they can tackle maths problems, understand science experiments, and get lost in history books. This fundamental skill builds the confidence they need to flourish throughout their entire school journey, opening up a world of possibilities for their future.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a primary school in Prescot. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the Phonics Screening Check. They can create fun, targeted sessions to help your child build confidence with segmenting and blending sounds, ensuring they feel prepared and positive about the check.
We're thinking ahead to secondary school. How does getting Phonics right now help with that?
A strong foundation in Phonics is the bedrock of all future learning. When a child reads confidently, they can access the entire curriculum more easily, from English to Science. This early confidence prevents learning gaps from forming and helps ensure a smoother transition to secondary schools like The Prescot School.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 do I find the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in early years education. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to a few to find the perfect personality match for your child.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and we personally interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence with reading?
A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to build back their confidence. By going at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, they can help turn anxiety about reading into genuine enjoyment.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost in Prescot?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work for young children?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Tutors use tools like a virtual whiteboard, fun exercises, and screen sharing to make learning dynamic. For younger children, lessons are often game-based to keep them focused and happy.
How long is a typical Phonics session?
Most tutors recommend sessions between 30 to 60 minutes for younger children to ensure they stay engaged. You can discuss the ideal lesson length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, start coding, or speak a new language, we can help them explore their passions.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange your first session at a time that works for you.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child and understand their learning style and specific needs. It's a relaxed session focused on building rapport and agreeing on the best way to work towards your child's goals.
