Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a tutor help my child prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?

A tutor can make a huge difference. They can identify the specific sounds and letter blends your child finds tricky and build fun, game-based sessions to practise them. This targeted, one-to-one support helps build their confidence and familiarity with the test format, reducing any anxiety they might feel.

My child will be starting at a primary school in Workington soon. Can a tutor give them a head start?

Absolutely. A few sessions with a Phonics tutor before they start school can be a wonderful way to introduce them to letters and sounds in a fun, relaxed environment. It helps build a positive association with learning and gives them a confident foundation to build on when they join their reception class.

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

Finding the right fit is key. You can read reviews from other parents, watch tutors' introductory videos, and message them for free to discuss your child's needs. Look for someone whose approach feels right for your child's personality – whether that's patient and calm or energetic and playful.

How much does an online Phonics tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.

Are your tutors qualified to teach Phonics?

Yes. Many of our Phonics tutors are experienced primary school teachers or specialists in early years education. We carefully vet every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.

How does online tutoring for a young child actually work?

Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging for young learners. Tutors use tools like an interactive whiteboard, fun games, and educational resources to make learning feel like play. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet and a stable internet connection.

Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?

It truly can. One-to-one attention from an encouraging tutor helps your child feel safe to make mistakes and ask questions. As they start to see their own progress, that sense of achievement is a fantastic confidence booster that extends far beyond their reading skills.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

For younger children learning Phonics, sessions are often 30 or 45 minutes to keep them focused and engaged. However, you can arrange session lengths that work best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

How quickly can we get started?

You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange your first session at a time that suits you.

Do you only offer academic subjects like Phonics?

Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects from primary to university level, we also have talented tutors who can teach your child skills like playing the guitar, coding, learning a new language, or even chess.

What happens in a typical online Phonics lesson?

A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs but might start with a fun warm-up game, then move on to practising specific sounds or reading simple words together. Tutors often use pictures, songs, and interactive exercises on the whiteboard to keep your child engaged and make learning enjoyable.
