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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 7+ or 11+ exams for schools like Charterhouse. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our Reading tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation. They have experience helping children build the specific comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the 7+ and 11+ assessments common in the Godalming area.
My child is struggling to keep up with reading at their primary school in Godalming. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek our help. A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe, patient environment to identify the specific areas where your child needs support, whether it's phonics or comprehension, and help them close the gap and regain their confidence in the classroom.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step towards success.
