Gentle Phonics Support, Tailored for Your Child
Finding the right tutor can feel like another thing to research. We make it simple. Instead of scrolling through countless profiles, you’ll just answer a few questions about your child – their current level, what they find tricky, and how they learn best. We then carefully surface a small number of tutors chosen specifically for their approach and expertise in helping young learners in Bolton build phonics confidence. They’re not just experts; they’re patient communicators.
Online tutoring means no school run traffic or evenings spent travelling across Bolton. Your child learns from the comfort of home, fitting sessions around football practice or family time. And if, for any reason, the first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we’ll help you find another and cover that initial session. It’s support that truly works for your family.

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.
