Why Strong Reading is the Key to Your Child's Success
Confident reading isn't just about passing English. It's the skill that underpins everything your child learns, from understanding historical sources in History to tackling complex questions in science exams. When reading clicks, it builds a self-assurance that spreads across all their subjects. This strong foundation is what helps them secure places at colleges like Buxton & Leek College and sets them on the path to competitive universities like Manchester or Sheffield.

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.

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like Reading, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning an instrument, coding, or even a new language.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you can often see a boost in confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Consistency is key, and the tutor will work with you to track your child's progress.
