Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at Rickmansworth School or a Watford Grammar School. Can a Phonics tutor help prepare my child for the 11+?

Absolutely. While Phonics is a foundational skill for younger children, a tutor can ensure your child's early reading is strong and confident. This builds the essential reading comprehension and vocabulary skills that are critical for success in the verbal reasoning and English sections of the 11+ exams.

Are the tutors familiar with the primary school curriculum in Rickmansworth and Hertfordshire?

Many of our tutors are experienced teachers or have extensive knowledge of the UK National Curriculum, which is followed by schools in Hertfordshire. You can view each tutor's profile and message them before booking to ask about their specific experience with the local curriculum.

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

The best way is to watch their introduction videos and read reviews from other parents. Think about what your child would respond to – someone energetic and playful, or calm and patient? You can message tutors for free to chat about your child's needs before you book a lesson.

How do online Phonics lessons work?

Our online classroom has lots of great tools to make learning interactive and fun. Tutors use an online whiteboard, share colourful resources, and play educational games to keep young children engaged. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone.

How can a tutor make learning Phonics fun?

Great tutors use a variety of techniques like songs, games, and interactive stories to bring Phonics to life. By making it feel like playtime, they help your child build positive associations with reading and learn without even realising it.

How much does a Phonics tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

Are all tutors background-checked?

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

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

We know how important the right fit is. 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 should a Phonics session be for a young child?

For younger children, shorter, more frequent sessions are often most effective. Many parents start with 30 or 45-minute lessons to keep their child focused and engaged. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You'll be able to see their growing confidence for yourself, whether it's recognising more letters, sounding out new words, or showing more enthusiasm for reading books together.

How soon can we start lessons?

You can start very quickly! Many tutors are available to start within a few days. Just find a tutor you like, message them to arrange a time, and you can book your first lesson straight away.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or playing the piano?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
