Giving Your Child the Personalised Reading Support They Need
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how your child learns best, they can spot exactly where they need a bit of extra help – whether that's decoding new words, understanding complex sentences, or building the vocabulary needed for those tricky verbal reasoning tests.
Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. A session could focus on breaking down a difficult school text, practising comprehension techniques for the 11+, or simply exploring exciting books to spark a genuine love of reading. It’s a focused, supportive space where your child can ask questions freely and make real progress.
Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With our online lessons, you can connect with the best Reading tutors from across the UK, right from your home in Harrogate. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection, making it easy to fit lessons around school, clubs, and family life.

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.
