Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're in Sevenoaks and thinking about the Kent 11+. Can a phonics tutor help prepare my child for this?

Absolutely. While a phonics tutor focuses on early reading, the skills they build are the essential foundation for the 11+. Strong, confident reading develops the advanced vocabulary and comprehension your child will need to tackle the verbal and non-verbal reasoning sections of the exam.

My child's school has a specific phonics scheme. Can a tutor adapt to that?

Yes. Our tutors are experienced with a wide range of phonics schemes used in UK primary schools. During your first chat, you can let the tutor know what your child is learning at school so they can tailor their lessons to be consistent and supportive.

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

Finding the right personality match is so important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone with experience teaching your child's age group and whose teaching style sounds like it would suit your child's personality.

How much does online phonics tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.

Are online lessons effective for young children?

Yes, they can be incredibly effective. Our tutors use a brilliant online classroom with interactive tools to make learning fun and engaging. For younger children, one-to-one attention without classroom distractions can make a huge difference.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check and we've verified their ID and references. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence with reading?

A private tutor provides a safe, patient space where it's okay to make mistakes. By breaking things down into small, manageable steps and celebrating every little win, a tutor can help rebuild your child’s self-belief and rediscover the joy in reading.

What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?

We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Our focus is on finding the perfect tutor-student match to deliver personalised learning that genuinely changes lives.

How many lessons will my child need?

There's no set rule, as every child is different. Many parents find a regular weekly lesson helps build momentum and confidence. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor, and they can give you an idea of what might be needed.

Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?

No, not at all. You can book lessons one at a time to fit your schedule and budget. We believe in flexibility, so there are no contracts or sign-up fees.

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

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside core academic support, your child can explore hobbies and passions like learning the guitar, mastering chess, or even learning a new language. It's all about helping them grow.
