Thoughtful Reading Support, Tailored for Your Child
For parents new to tutoring, finding the right person can feel like a significant task. You don't have to navigate countless profiles. Simply tell us what your child needs with their Reading, and we'll thoughtfully match them with an expert online tutor. We consider their subject needs alongside personality and teaching style, ensuring a tutor who truly connects with your child and helps them build confidence, not just cover curriculum points. Our matching process is careful and data-backed.
Forget basic video calls. Our interactive online classroom is purpose-built for learning. Imagine your child and their Reading tutor sharing a virtual whiteboard, collaboratively highlighting tricky passages, annotating texts, and working through comprehension questions in real-time. This active, visual approach helps new concepts land. All lessons are recorded too, so your child can revisit specific explanations or challenging texts whenever they need a refresher before an assessment.
With online tutoring, there's no rushing across Carrickfergus after school. Your child learns from the comfort of your home, fitting sessions around busy family schedules — after clubs, on weekends, whenever works best. This flexibility means access to a wider pool of exceptional Reading tutors from across the UK, far beyond what might be locally available. And if the first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we offer a first lesson guarantee: we'll cover your initial session with a new match, ensuring your child gets the ideal support.

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.

My daughter has been having tutoring session with Jo for some time now, her reading has improved so much in that time. My daughter can be quite shy but she settled with Jo very quickly and she makes the lesson engaging and fun.Would recommend to anyone who needs some help for their child who is behind at school.

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.
