Why a Strong Start in Phonics Matters So Much
Phonics is the foundation of all learning. When your child can confidently decode words, they don't just learn to read – they start a lifelong journey of discovery. This vital skill opens up every other subject, from understanding storybooks in English to tackling word problems in Maths. A solid start in Phonics builds the confidence they need to access the whole curriculum and thrive throughout their school journey, setting them up for success at GCSE and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Woodley. Can a tutor help prepare my child for the expectations of local primary schools?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can provide early support in Phonics to ensure your child has a strong and confident start to their school journey. By building a solid foundation in reading, they help prepare your child for the curriculum in local Woodley schools and beyond.
We're thinking ahead to the Reading grammar school tests. Can early Phonics support help?
Yes, it can be a great help. Strong reading fluency and comprehension are essential for the 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. A tutor can help your child master Phonics early, which is the first and most critical step towards becoming a confident, fluent reader.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How much do online Phonics tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child is quite shy. How does online tutoring help with that?
Online tutoring can be fantastic for shyer children. Learning from the comfort of home can help them feel more relaxed and open. The one-to-one setting means the tutor's full attention is on them, allowing them to build a strong, trusting relationship and grow in confidence.
What happens in a typical online Phonics session?
Lessons are designed to be fun and engaging! Tutors often use interactive tools, games, and digital whiteboards to practise letter sounds, blending, and reading simple words. Each session is tailored to what your child needs to work on most.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How quickly will I see my child's reading improve?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one attention from a tutor can make a big difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and willingness to read after just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Phonics?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from primary school through to university, we also offer tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download.
How do payments work?
Payments are simple and secure. After each lesson, your card is automatically charged for the session. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history through your Tutorful account, so you're always in control.
