Focused Reading Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
It can be difficult to know where to begin when looking for a tutor, especially if you've never hired one before. That’s why we take the guesswork out of it for you. Tell us about your child’s specific needs – whether they're struggling with phonics, comprehension, or advanced literary analysis – and we’ll thoughtfully match them with an expert Reading tutor. Our tutors are skilled at building rapport, noticing exactly where a concept hasn't landed, and finding a different way in.
Our interactive online classroom is purpose-built for learning, not just a standard video call. Your child and their Reading tutor can share texts on a collaborative whiteboard, annotate passages together, highlight key ideas, and break down challenging vocabulary in real time. All lessons are recorded, so your child can revisit a tricky concept or re-read an annotated story whenever they need a refresher before an exam or for homework.
Online tutoring means no travel time from your home in thamesmead, no disruption to busy family schedules, and lessons that fit around your life. Your child gains access to the very best Reading tutors from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. And if the first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we offer a first lesson guarantee, so we’ll cover their initial session with a new tutor. It’s support that works in your home, on your schedule.

experienced and supportive Reading tutor
Hello, my name is Josh and I’m a UK-qualified primary school teacher with four years of classroom experience teaching in London.

Tatiana S
Practical Reading Tutor
Many GCSE students understand vocabulary and grammar but struggle to use Spanish confidently in exams. Speaking feels stressful, writing lacks structure and listening often becomes guesswork. This leads to low confidence and inconsistent results, even in students who are capable.My GCSE lessons are structured, calm and exam-focused. I break Spanish down clearly and show students exactly how to build speaking answers, how to write in a way that meets exam criteria and how to approach listening papers with effective strategies. Grammar is explained simply and practiced in context, so students know...

Luke S
I want to give a big thankyou to Luke for his work with my son.
He's been incredibly patient and supportive, while also encouraging improvement in his reading.
Luke struck a great balance between structured learning and making the sessions fun.
We've seen real progress and I highly recommend him.

Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my son’s tutor. She’s personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my son’s face as he’s learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, ‘Hannah is so calm and I’m really enjoying tutoring’. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.
