Tailored Phonics Support, Building Confidence from Home
For parents new to tutoring, finding the right support can feel overwhelming. We take that burden away. Tell us about your child – their learning style, what they enjoy, and where they need a little extra help with Phonics. We then thoughtfully match them with an expert tutor, chosen not just for their subject knowledge, but for their ability to build confidence and spark curiosity. It’s a recommendation, not a list of profiles to scroll through.
Forget static video calls. Our interactive online classroom is purpose-built for learning. Your child and their Phonics tutor work together on a shared whiteboard, sounding out words, blending letters, and marking up texts in real time. Annotation tools allow the tutor to highlight tricky graphemes or demonstrate sounds visually. Every session can be recorded, so your child can revisit a lesson before school or recap a difficult concept, ensuring the learning truly sticks.
Online learning means no travel, no disruption to your family's busy schedule in Newport. Whether it's after school or on weekends, expert Phonics tutors from anywhere in the UK are available. If the first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we’ll help you find a new one, covering that initial session. It’s support that works in your home, on your schedule.

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.
