Phonics is much more than just a test; it's the key that unlocks all other learning. When your child can decode words and read with ease, they can fully access every other subject. It helps them understand a maths problem, dive into a science project, or explore a history topic. Building this core skill now gives them the confidence they need to thrive as they move towards secondary schools like Yate Academy or Brimsham Green, and sets them up for a lifetime of learning.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a primary school in Yate. Can a tutor help them prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check?
Absolutely. Many of our Phonics tutors specialise in preparing young children for the screening check. They can make the process feel relaxed and positive, using fun activities to build your child's skills in blending and decoding so they feel confident and ready on the day.
We're thinking ahead to secondary schools like Yate Academy. Can a strong foundation in Phonics now really help?
Yes, it's one of the most important foundations you can build. Strong reading skills are essential for success in every single secondary school subject, from English to Science. By securing their Phonics skills now, you're giving your child a huge head start for the challenges ahead.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
Finding the perfect match is easy. You can filter tutors by their experience with early years education, read reviews from other parents, and even watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. That's why we have 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on the platform must pass an ID check and have an up-to-date DBS background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring for Phonics actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging for young learners. It has an interactive whiteboard where your child and their tutor can share and write on resources, play word games, and read stories together. It makes learning feel fun and collaborative.
My child is very shy and losing confidence. How can a tutor help?
One-to-one tutoring is a wonderful environment for shy children. It's a safe, patient space where they are the sole focus. They can ask questions without feeling embarrassed in front of a class, and the tutor can tailor activities to their interests, helping them to open up and build their self-esteem.
How much does online Phonics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor whose fee fits your budget. There are no hidden costs or sign-up fees.
How long is a typical session for a young child?
For younger children learning Phonics, shorter sessions are often more effective. Many parents find that 30 or 45-minute lessons work best to keep their child focused and engaged. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like piano or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are here to support core subjects like Phonics, Maths and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach musical instruments, coding, new languages, and much more. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and passions.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for Phonics tutors, send a message to the ones you like to ask about their availability, and then you can book your first lesson directly through their profile. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found a tutor within 24 hours.
What results can I expect for my child?
Our main goal with Phonics is to build your child's confidence and foster a genuine love of reading. While it isn't graded like a GCSE, parents consistently tell us the biggest change they see is in their child's happiness and willingness to learn. We're proud that 90% of students using Tutorful improve by at least one grade in their school subjects.
