Joanne W
My daughter Ariya has been taking lessons with Joanne for more than 6 months now and she(my daughter) has improved in her phonics and reading so much. Joanne is so kind, patient and a super fun teacher. They started when my daughter was 5 and I was a bit worried with how she would handle online tutoring but Joanne makes it seamless and Ariya is right there with her the entire time. 10/10 teacher!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
With the high standards of schools in Truro, I'm worried my child will fall behind. Can tutoring help?
Absolutely. It’s a common concern for parents in the area. Our online tutors can provide focused, early support in phonics to ensure your child builds a strong foundation. This helps them not just keep pace but feel confident and prepared as they start their educational journey.
How can an online tutor specifically help with the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Our tutors are very familiar with the screening check. They can identify the specific sounds and 'alien words' your child finds tricky and create fun, engaging activities to practise them. This targeted preparation helps build confidence and familiarity, so the real check feels much less daunting.
We're thinking long-term about Truro and Penwith College. Does a strong phonics foundation really matter that much?
Yes, it's fundamental. A child who reads fluently and confidently can access the entire curriculum, from understanding science textbooks to analysing literature. A strong start in phonics is the first, most crucial step towards the academic independence needed for success at A-Level and beyond.
Are your phonics tutors actually based in Truro?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Truro. The beauty of our online platform is that it connects your child with the best phonics specialists from anywhere, right from your home. This gives you a much wider choice of experts than if you were limited to only local options.
Is online tutoring effective for something as hands-on as phonics?
It really is. Tutors use interactive whiteboards, fun digital resources, and engaging games to make lessons dynamic. For phonics, this one-to-one focus is perfect for listening to pronunciation and giving immediate, gentle correction in a way that's difficult in a busy classroom.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first phonics tutor?
We know that the right connection is key. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your phonics tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has to prove their subject expertise. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How much does online phonics tutoring for my child in Truro cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £15 per hour. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
My younger child needs phonics help, but my older one is studying for GCSEs. Do you offer other subjects?
Yes, we cover over 300 subjects! From core academic support in Maths, English, and Science at all levels, right through to music, coding, and languages. We can help your whole family achieve their learning goals.
How flexible are the lesson times? Our schedule is already very busy.
That's a huge benefit of online tutoring. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or even during school holidays. There's no travel time to worry about, making it much easier to fit into a packed week.
How will I know if my child is making real progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on what they've covered and the progress your child is making. The biggest sign, though, is often the change you'll see at home – a new willingness to pick up a book or sound out words, and a growing confidence in their own ability.
How quickly can we find a phonics tutor for our child in Truro?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for phonics tutors on our website, compare their profiles and reviews, and message them directly to arrange your first lesson. Many parents find the perfect tutor and have their first session booked within 24 hours.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
