Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is starting at a popular Tooting school like Fircroft or Gatton. Can a tutor help them keep up?
Absolutely. A tutor can give your child the focused, one-to-one attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. By building a strong foundation in phonics, they'll feel more confident participating in class and keeping up with their peers, making for a much happier start to their school journey.
How can a tutor help my child prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Our tutors are very familiar with the Phonics Screening Check. They can make preparation feel like a fun game rather than a test, gently identifying and working on any sounds or words your child finds tricky. This targeted, low-pressure support helps build their confidence for the check and their reading in general.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience. 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 much do online Phonics tutors in Tooting cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be fun and engaging for young learners. It includes an interactive whiteboard, fun exercises, and other tools that tutors use to make lessons feel like playtime. Our tutors are experienced in keeping young children focused and excited to learn online.
Is my child safe online with Tutorful?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and all lessons take place within our secure online platform. We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students learn in a safe and supportive environment.
What qualifications do your Phonics tutors have?
Our Phonics tutors have a wide range of experience. Many are qualified primary school teachers or early years specialists with a deep understanding of the curriculum. We personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
For younger children learning Phonics, sessions are often around 45 minutes to an hour to keep them engaged, but you can arrange the ideal length with your tutor. It's completely flexible to suit your child's concentration span.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide you with regular feedback on your child's progress. The biggest sign, however, will be seeing your child's confidence with reading grow week by week. You'll notice them becoming more enthusiastic about books and schoolwork.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and message tutors straight away. Many tutors respond quickly, and it's often possible to have your first lesson arranged within a few days, getting your child the support they need without delay.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
