Why a Strong Start in Phonics is Key for Their Future
Phonics is much more than just learning letter sounds; it's the fundamental building block for confident reading and understanding. Mastering it early on helps your child move from simply decoding words to grasping complex texts and building a rich vocabulary. These are the exact skills they'll need to feel ready for the 11+ and, later, to succeed in their GCSEs, A-Levels, and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Stroud and are worried about the 11+ for schools like Marling or Stroud High. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A Phonics tutor can help your child build the essential reading fluency and comprehension skills that form the foundation of the 11+ English exams. By strengthening their phonics now, you're giving them the tools they need to confidently tackle the challenges ahead.
How can an online tutor understand the specific pressures of the Stroud school system?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience preparing children for 11+ and other school entrance exams. You can view their profiles, read parent reviews, and use our messaging system to find a tutor who understands the local requirements and can help your child feel prepared without the pressure.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Phonics tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their intro videos to get a feel for their personality and messaging a few to find the perfect match for your child.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence in reading?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. A tutor can go back to basics in a patient, supportive environment, celebrating small wins and making learning fun again, which can completely change your child's attitude towards reading.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Prices vary as tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child to learn and engage with their tutor from the comfort of home. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually a great 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.
How often should my child have a lesson?
We find that weekly sessions work best for consistent progress, but the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor and decide on a schedule that fits your family's routine.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with core academics like Phonics, Maths, and English, your child could also learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even skills like coding.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history from your dashboard.
