Building Confident Readers in Cardiff, From the Ground Up
Watching your child confidently sound out new words, rather than struggling with their reading, brings a quiet relief. Mastering phonics is the bedrock for all future learning, opening up a world of stories and knowledge. For children in Cardiff, this foundational skill is crucial, not just for thriving in primary school, but also for building the literacy needed to excel later at secondaries like Bishop of Llandaff or Cardiff High. It’s about more than just reading; it’s about their belief in themselves as a learner.

In our interactive online classroom, your child and their tutor can work through phonics exercises together on a shared whiteboard, marking up sounds and blending words in real time. Annotation tools allow for visual explanations, whilst every session is recorded. This means your child in Cardiff can revisit a difficult sound or a tricky word pattern whenever they need to, making learning active and lasting.

I have a BA (hons) in Primary Education from Oxford Brookes University. I have 15 years teaching experienceteaching children from Foundation Stage to Year 6.

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.
