Why Strong Reading Skills are Key for Their Future in Cornwall
Reading isn't just about passing English; it's the foundation for every single subject. Strong comprehension is vital for understanding a tricky Maths problem, analysing sources in History, or following a method in Science. Building these skills now is the key to unlocking better GCSE grades, which in turn opens the door to A-Level studies and a potential place at brilliant local institutions like Falmouth University or the University of Exeter's Penryn campus.

Reading Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*
- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...
- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.
- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.
- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study....

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.
