Personalised Reading Support to Build Your Child's Confidence

The right tutor takes the time to understand your child as an individual. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They’ll get to know your child's specific challenges – whether it's phonics, fluency, or understanding a tricky text – and adapt their teaching style to build a real connection. Every lesson is designed around your child’s needs. For a younger child, that might mean fun, interactive games to build phonetic awareness. For an older student preparing for National 5s, it could be focused sessions on how to analyse quotes and structure essays. This tailored approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us. Finding that support is simple. You can browse our background-checked tutors and book lessons that fit around your family's schedule. With online tutoring, there's no need to travel, making it easy to get consistent, high-quality help right from your home in Fife.

Charlotte S
Friendly Reading Tutor
With over 10 years of teaching experience and 5 years of online tutoring, I’ve supported children from Reception to Year 6, helping them grow in confidence and enjoy learning. I use a student-centred, supportive teaching style, tailoring every lesson to each child’s needs, strengths and pace. No two learners are the same — and I love adapting my approach to make learning meaningful and engaging.One of the biggest reasons I love tutoring is the individual attention it allows. I get to slow down, focus entirely on one child, and celebrate every bit of progress with them. Seeing a concept “click” or watchi...

Alexandra J
Patient Reading tutor
I am originally from Toronto, Canada but now work as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh.My style of teaching is flexible in that it would be planned based on the needs of the student and ultimately my lessons would be student-led. Thus, while I would make a lesson plan, it would be amenable to change based on the needs and requests of the student. I am calm, patient and encouraging in my approach to teaching, so am happy to go at whatever pace best suits the student.   I have an extensive knowledge and experience of teaching varying levels of academic writing reading from primary school ...

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.
