Why Strong Reading Skills are Key for Your Child's Future
Reading isn't just a subject; it's the foundation for all learning. When your child develops strong reading comprehension and fluency, they gain the ability to understand complex texts, follow instructions accurately, and critically analyse information – skills essential for everything from excelling in their 11+ exams to understanding the curriculum in any subject. These abilities are crucial for securing a place at a competitive sixth form, aiming for universities like the University of Reading, and ultimately opening doors to a future full of possibilities. Beyond academics, a genuine love for reading enriches their life, fostering curiosity and independent learning.

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.
