Phonics Mastery: The Foundation for Lifelong Learning and Confidence
Mastering Phonics is more than just learning to read; it’s about opening up their entire world. Imagine your child confidently picking up a book for pleasure, understanding instructions in any subject, and engaging fully in class discussions. Strong Phonics skills mean they won't struggle with complex texts at St Thomas More, but will instead be able to analyse information, articulate their thoughts, and approach new subjects with ease. This early confidence builds the pathway for success across the curriculum, from English literature to scientific understanding, preparing them for any future they choose.

This is about finding someone who builds confidence and makes learning enjoyable. It’s a recommendation, not a list to scroll through.
Forget standard video calls; our interactive classroom is purpose-built for learning. Your child and their Phonics tutor work together on a shared whiteboard, sounding out words and marking up texts in real time. Tutors use annotation tools to highlight tricky sounds. Every session can be recorded, so your child can revisit crucial Phonics rules whenever they need a refresher.
From your home in north-shields, your child accesses expert Phonics tutors from across the UK. There’s no travel time; sessions simply fit around after-school clubs or weekend plans.

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.
