Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My main goal is preparing my child for the Kent Test. Can a Phonics tutor help with this early foundation?

Absolutely. Many parents in Whitstable use our tutors for this very reason. A Phonics tutor can build the strong reading fluency and comprehension skills that are vital for tackling the verbal reasoning sections of the 11+, giving your child a confident head start.

We're hoping for a place at a Canterbury grammar school. Can a tutor help build the necessary reading skills?

Yes. Our tutors are experienced in building the core literacy skills that grammar schools look for. By making sure your child's Phonics foundation is secure, they help prepare them for the academic demands of schools in Canterbury and across Kent.

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. Think about what your child responds to – a playful approach or a more structured one? Finding the right personality is just as important as finding the right expertise.

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 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.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can a tutor make learning Phonics fun?

Our tutors are brilliant at making learning engaging. They use interactive tools, educational games, and positive reinforcement to make lessons feel like fun, not a chore. This helps build a positive association with reading that can last a lifetime.

How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How quickly will my child see progress?

Every child learns at their own pace, but one-to-one attention makes a huge difference. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm within just a few sessions. Consistent lessons help to build momentum and secure long-term progress.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something creative?

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

What happens in a typical Phonics lesson?

A lesson might start with a quick, fun warm-up game to review previous sounds. The tutor will then introduce a new sound or reading rule, using interactive exercises on the whiteboard. They'll finish by practising reading sentences or a short story together to build fluency and confidence.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. You add your payment details to your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. It’s a simple, pay-as-you-go system.
