Why a Strong Start in Phonics Matters for Your Child
Phonics is much more than just a test; it's the key that unlocks all other learning. When your child can confidently decode words, they can dive into storybooks, understand their science homework, and explore history with curiosity. These fundamental reading skills build the bedrock for their entire education, giving them the tools they need to tackle everything from their first essays to their GCSEs and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a primary school in the Trowbridge area. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Many parents seek support for the Phonics Screening Check. Our tutors can make preparing for it feel gentle and fun, building your child's confidence with the format and helping them secure the specific skills they need to do their best.
We're worried about the transition to secondary schools like The John of Gaunt School. Does building strong reading skills now really help?
Yes, it makes a huge difference. A strong foundation in phonics and reading is the key to accessing the entire secondary curriculum. When a child reads confidently, they can cope better with the demands of subjects from English to Science, making the transition much smoother.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have a 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 do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors specialise in early years education. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with.
How do online lessons work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, drawing tools, and fun resources to keep young children focused and make learning feel like a game.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, typically ranging from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can book lessons as and when you need them.
How can a tutor make learning Phonics fun?
Expert tutors use games, songs, and interactive activities to bring phonics to life. They focus on building a positive and encouraging atmosphere where your child feels comfortable making mistakes and celebrating their progress.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check before they can start teaching.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to recognise sounds and read words more fluently, both in lessons and at home.
How long should a Phonics lesson be for a young child?
Our lessons are typically 60 minutes long, but tutors are brilliant at breaking up the session with different activities to keep your child engaged and focused throughout.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we have experts in core areas like Phonics, Maths, and English, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning the guitar, coding, or even Spanish.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is all about getting to know your child. The tutor will use fun, informal activities to understand their current level, what they enjoy, and how they learn best. It's a relaxed start to build a positive relationship.
