Expert Primary Reading Tutors: Put Education in Expert Hands
It is heartbreaking to watch your child lose confidence with their phonics or struggle to keep up in class. As a parent, you shouldn't have to be a literacy expert; your role is to provide the right support. Hiring a specialist online tutor shifts the academic pressure from your home to a qualified professional.
This gives you your evenings back and removes the stress of trying to teach complex reading techniques yourself. By putting their education in the hands of an expert, you ensure they master the foundations while you return to being a supportive parent.

Nurturing Reading Tutor
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. For many children, school can be a challenging environment to learn in. This is why I feel that tutoring can be a really positive tool to encourage a pupil to unlock their potential. I aim to make my sessions personalised to your child's needs and to also create an environment where the pupil feels comfortable enough to challenge themselves and realise their potential. As much as possible, I like to include games and creative ideas to engage...

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.
