Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is in Reception/Year 1. Can a tutor help them prepare for the reading demands of the Kent Test?

Yes, absolutely. Our Phonics tutors specialise in building a strong foundation in reading fluency and comprehension from an early age. They can make learning fun and help your child develop the core skills they'll need to confidently approach the Kent Test later on.

We're hoping for a place at Rochester Grammar or Sir Joseph Williamson's. Can we find a tutor with 11+ experience?

Yes. Many of our tutors have specific experience preparing children for the 11+ and entrance exams for specific grammar schools. You can check their profiles for this experience or message them directly to ask about their approach to Kent Test preparation.

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

We know that the right connection is key to learning. 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 do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?

It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience. We recommend watching their introduction videos and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking.

How much do online Phonics tutors cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How does online tutoring work for a young child learning Phonics?

Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for young learners. Tutors use interactive tools like whiteboards, fun games, and colourful resources to make learning dynamic and effective, even through a screen.

Are all the 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 been interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence with reading?

Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can provide a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. Rebuilding that confidence is often the most important first step towards making progress.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can explore hobbies and develop new skills, whether it's learning to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get started with coding.

How often should my child have a Phonics lesson?

For younger children, consistency is key. Most parents find that one or two 30-minute sessions per week works best to build momentum without overwhelming their child. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your chosen tutor.

How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's reading?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change you'll likely see first is a boost in your child's confidence and enjoyment of learning.

What makes Tutorful different from other services?

Parents and students love Tutorful for our high-quality, vetted tutors and our focus on finding the perfect match for each child. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from families just like yours.
