It's completely natural to worry about your child's first steps in reading. The pressure of the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check can feel huge, and you want to know you're giving them the strongest possible start for their future learning.

Finding the right support can make all the difference. A one-to-one online Phonics tutor partners with you and your child, creating a fun, encouraging space where they can build confidence at their own pace. It’s about turning 'I can't' into 'I can' and fostering a genuine love for reading.

Building a Confident Reader, One Sound at a Time
Mastering phonics is about so much more than passing a single test; it's the key that unlocks your child's entire education. When a child can decode words confidently, they can access every other subject, from understanding story problems in Maths to exploring new worlds in Science and History. This fundamental skill builds the foundation they need to thrive as they prepare for secondary school and beyond, ensuring they arrive ready and eager to learn.

- 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 have a BA (hons) in Primary Education from Oxford Brookes University. I have 13 years teaching experienceteaching children from Foundation Stage to Year 6.

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.

We’re very happy to have Teacher Emma as our son’s Phonics teacher. She is very encouraging and patient, which makes a big difference. As we’ve just moved to the UK and English is not our first language, we truly appreciate how smoothly our son is able to learn with her.

Emma has been teaching my son (aged 6) and daughter (aged 3) over the last two months. Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging. Our children have already made exceptional progress given the short time she has spent with them! Thank you so much Emma :)
