Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're considering a grammar school in Southend or Westcliff. Can a Phonics tutor really help with the 11+?

Absolutely. The verbal reasoning sections of the 11+ rely heavily on a child's ability to understand and interpret text quickly and accurately. A strong foundation in phonics builds confident, fluent readers, which is a critical advantage when tackling those tricky exam questions.

What if my child is more likely to attend a local school like The Appleton School? Is Phonics tutoring still necessary?

Yes, strong reading skills are essential for success in any secondary school. From understanding science textbooks to analysing history sources, confident reading underpins every subject. A tutor helps ensure your child has the foundational skills to keep up and thrive throughout their education.

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

It's a personal choice, and we make it easy for you. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free chat beforehand so you can find the perfect personality fit for your child.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost in South Benfleet?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, usually based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced, affordable tutor that fits your family's budget.

Can a tutor help my child feel more confident about the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?

Yes, this is one of the main reasons parents seek support. A tutor can make learning fun, using games and targeted exercises to practise specific sounds and blending techniques in a low-pressure environment, which is often the key to building confidence.

What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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 does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function and an interactive whiteboard, allowing your child and their tutor to share resources, write, and draw just like they would in person.

What makes Tutorful tutors a safe choice?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We're also highly selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How long are the online sessions?

Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually ideal. However, you can discuss your child's needs directly with the tutor, as many are happy to offer shorter or longer lessons to suit your child's concentration span.

My child just seems to hate reading. Can a tutor help with that?

Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can find out what's causing the frustration and find books and activities that match your child's interests. By making reading feel like fun rather than a chore, they can help reignite your child's curiosity and build a positive relationship with books.

How quickly can we start?

You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message, and you can arrange your first session directly with them.

Do you only offer school subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or guitar?

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, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
