Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My main concern is the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Can a tutor help my child feel ready for it?

Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the Phonics Screening Check and can help your child become comfortable with the format. They use fun, engaging methods to practise decoding real and nonsense words, building their skills and confidence so they feel prepared and relaxed on the day.

We want our child to have the best chance when looking at secondary schools in the Bolton area. Can early phonics support help?

Yes, it can make a real difference. A strong foundation in reading is the bedrock of all future learning. By ensuring your child is a confident reader early on, you're setting them up for success across all subjects, which is a huge advantage as they progress through primary school and prepare for the next step.

How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to ensure you find the perfect match.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can set your own budget and filter your search to see tutors within your price range. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.

Are your tutors safe and background-checked?

Yes, the safety of your child is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

What if my child doesn't click with their first 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 does online tutoring work for young children?

Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging for children. Tutors use features like a digital whiteboard, fun resources, and educational games to make learning phonics feel like playtime. It's a great way to keep them focused and motivated from the comfort of your own home.

Can tutoring help my child's confidence?

Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the boost in confidence it gives a child. Having a patient, supportive expert celebrate their small wins and help them overcome challenges can completely change their attitude towards learning.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

For younger children learning Phonics, sessions are typically 30 or 45 minutes long to ensure they stay engaged and get the most out of the lesson. However, you can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. You'll likely see the progress for yourself in their growing confidence and enthusiasm for reading.

How many lessons will my child need?

This is completely unique to each child. Some children may just need a few sessions to grasp a specific concept, while others benefit from regular weekly support. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to create a plan that works for you.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
