Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a very competitive primary in Richmond-upon-Thames. Can a tutor help them keep up?

Absolutely. Many parents in your position use our tutors to give their child a bit of extra support. A tutor can work at your child's pace in a relaxed, encouraging environment, helping them master the phonics skills they're learning at school so they feel confident and ready for every lesson.

We are thinking about the 7+ or 11+ exams. Can a phonics tutor help build a foundation for this?

Yes, a strong foundation in reading is essential for success in 7+ and 11+ exams. A phonics tutor can help ensure your child's reading and comprehension skills are secure, which is a critical building block for tackling the verbal reasoning and English papers in these assessments.

How do I choose the right phonics tutor for my child?

It's all about finding the right personality match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Many of our tutors specialise in teaching younger children and know how to make learning fun and engaging.

How much do online phonics tutors cost in Richmond-upon-Thames?

Our tutors set their own prices, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID verified before they can start teaching.

How does online tutoring work for a young child? Is it engaging?

Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and fun. Tutors use features like a whiteboard, file sharing, and games to keep young children engaged. It provides a focused, one-to-one learning environment without the distractions of a busy classroom.

Can tutoring help my child's confidence, not just their reading?

Definitely. For many children, confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. The positive reinforcement and personalised attention from a tutor can do wonders for their self-esteem, which often has a positive impact on their attitude towards school in general.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you have the perfect match. That's why we have a 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 is a typical phonics lesson?

Most lessons are 50 minutes long, which we find is a great length to keep a child engaged while covering enough material to make real progress. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session, letting you know what they've covered and how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress.

How quickly can we start lessons?

You can start very quickly. Many 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 your family.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?

While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from guitar and piano to coding and chess!
