Imagine your child confidently tackling a new book, not just decoding words, but understanding and enjoying the story. This early literacy strength supports their learning across all subjects, easing the pressure of primary school in competitive areas like Battersea and laying a solid foundation for future assessments, whether that's the 7+ or later academic challenges. It’s about cultivating a genuine love for reading and learning that stays with them.

Sara C
Sara has been fantastic with my 5-year-old. I initially shared my concerns about Dawud’s reading and maths, and she reassured me that with the right support, he would improve and be ready for the phonics screening. I noticed a significant boost in his confidence and reading ability even after the first session. Highly recommended — she is both skilled and very kind.

Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging.
