Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child's school in Pudsey has a specific way of teaching phonics. Can a tutor adapt to that?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are familiar with various phonics schemes used in UK primary schools. During your first chat, you can let the tutor know about the school's specific methods, and they will tailor their lessons to complement what your child is learning in the classroom.

We're already thinking about the transition to secondary school in the Leeds area. Can phonics tutoring now really help with that?

Yes, it can make a huge difference. A strong foundation in reading is crucial for every subject your child will face in secondary school. By building their confidence and skills in phonics now, you're giving them the tools they need to tackle more complex texts and ideas later on, setting them up for a much smoother transition.

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 match for your child's personality and learning style. It's all about finding someone your child will look forward to learning with.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We understand that finding the right personality match is key. 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 much do online phonics tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £40 per hour, depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every single tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can a tutor make learning phonics fun for a young child?

Our tutors are experts at making learning engaging. They use interactive tools, games, and positive encouragement to make lessons feel like playtime. By building a friendly rapport, they help your child build confidence and a genuine enjoyment for reading.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Sessions are typically an hour long, but you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor. For younger children, some tutors may recommend shorter, more frequent sessions to keep them focused and engaged.

What happens in a typical online phonics lesson?

Your tutor will use our interactive online classroom, which has features like a whiteboard and screen sharing. A lesson might involve fun games to practice sound blending, reading short stories together, or working on writing skills, all tailored to your child's specific goals.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can see their confidence grow week by week, and the tutor can share specific areas of improvement and what they'll be working on next.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with hobbies too?

While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Phonics, Maths, and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child a new skill or hobby. Whether they want to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or practice drawing, we have tutors who can help.

How quickly can we start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a free chat and book your first lesson for a time that suits you, often within a couple of days.
