Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a competitive Wandsworth primary like Honeywell or Belleville. Can a tutor help my child feel prepared?
Yes, absolutely. A tutor can help your child build a strong and confident foundation in phonics, which is key for starting school ready to learn. They work at your child's pace, making learning fun and ensuring they feel positive about reading and writing from day one.
I'm worried about the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Many parents share your concern. Our tutors are experienced in helping children prepare for the Year 1 check in a gentle, encouraging way. They can identify any specific sounds your child is struggling with and use fun activities to build their skills and confidence before the test.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose teaching style you think your child will respond to. The goal is to find a supportive expert who can make learning enjoyable for them.
How much do online Phonics tutors in Wandsworth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for young learners. Tutors use interactive tools like a digital whiteboard, games, and fun resources to keep your child focused and involved. It makes learning feel more like playtime.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right match. With 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 can a tutor help my child enjoy reading more?
When a child feels confident, they're much more likely to enjoy an activity. By giving your child one-to-one support and celebrating their small wins, a tutor can help remove the frustration that sometimes comes with learning to read, replacing it with a sense of achievement and fun.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some children just need a few sessions to get over a specific hurdle, while others benefit from regular weekly support. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor who will be happy to offer their advice.
What if my child is very shy?
One-to-one tutoring is often perfect for shy children. It provides a safe, quiet space for them to ask questions without the pressure of a full classroom. Our tutors are skilled at building rapport and helping even the most hesitant children to open up and grow in confidence.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try their hand at coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How quickly will I see progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
