Charlotte S
Friendly Phonics Tutor
With over 10 years of teaching experience and 5 years of online tutoring, I’ve supported children from Reception to Year 6, helping them grow in confidence and enjoy learning. I use a student-centred, supportive teaching style, tailoring every lesson to each child’s needs, strengths and pace. No two learners are the same — and I love adapting my approach to make learning meaningful and engaging.One of the biggest reasons I love tutoring is the individual attention it allows. I get to slow down, focus entirely on one child, and celebrate every bit of progress with them. Seeing a concept “click” or watchi...

Abigail R
Providing progress in Phonics through tailored support
I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience across both mainstream and specialist settings. For the past three years, I have worked in a school for children with social, emotional and mental health needs, all of whom have Education, Health and Care Plans. This has given me a strong foundation in trauma informed practice, personalised learning and the importance of building safe, trusting relationships so that children feel confident and supported in their learning. I believe these approaches benefit all children, not just those with additional needs.Before working in specialist education,...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child goes to a primary in Rutherglen. Can a tutor help prepare them for a secondary like Stonelaw High?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping children make the important transition from primary to secondary school. They can focus on building the solid reading comprehension and confidence your child will need to handle the demands of a faster-paced curriculum.

Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum for early years reading?

Yes, many tutors on our platform have specific experience with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. You can check each tutor's profile for their expertise and even message them before booking to ask about their familiarity with the curriculum your child is following.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

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

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before you book. It helps to find someone your child will connect with.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about reading?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, helping your child build self-belief with every lesson.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics from Phonics to A-Level Physics, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's all about supporting their passions.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your budget.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a computer or tablet with a microphone and internet connection. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.

Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?

Not at all. You have complete flexibility. You can book lessons week by week or book a block if you prefer. There are no contracts or long-term commitments required.

What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?

It's our focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to connect them with the UK's best tutors. We're here to provide personalised, one-to-one support that helps your child not just learn, but thrive.
