Building a Strong Foundation for Their Journey Through School

The Early Years are about much more than just learning to read and count; they're about building the bedrock for all future learning. A great start in Reception helps your child develop curiosity, resilience, and a love of learning that will see them through primary school and prepare them for the move to secondary school later on. From developing early phonics skills for reading to understanding simple number concepts, these first steps are crucial for building the confidence they need to thrive.

Pam P
Experienced Early Years and Reception Tutor
I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential.

* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Many thanks Tracy!!

Rachael T
Rachael has been teaching my son, who recently started reception, and her impact has been remarkable. She quickly identified the areas where he needed extra support and has been incredibly intentional in tailoring her lessons. The detailed feedback she provides is invaluable, helping us understand how to support him effectively at home. My son genuinely looks forward to his classes with her, and although I was initially concerned about his ability to focus during an online session, he now asks eagerly every day if he'll be seeing Mrs Rachael again.
