A positive start in Reception isn't just about knowing letters and numbers; it's about the confidence to use them. Our tutors focus on building these core skills so your child feels ready and excited to learn. Imagine them proudly sounding out their first words because phonics suddenly makes sense, or happily counting objects with a newfound love for numbers. These early wins build a strong foundation, ensuring your child can participate fully from their very first day at their new school in East London, ready to thrive.

Tracy has a lovely teaching style and engages my daughter in her lessons very well. Over time, she has grown her interest in maths, an area she has not felt confident in. She looks forward to her lessons with Tracy which is lovely to see. Tracy's encouraging and nuturing teaching style really has drawn my daughter to appreciating and enjoy the learning experience. 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.
