Online Reading Tutors in Lancaster to Help Your Child Thrive
We know how much you want to give your child the best possible start, and in Lancaster, the pressure of the 11+ exams for grammar school places can feel immense. You might be worried that if your child's reading comprehension isn't strong enough, they'll struggle with those tricky verbal reasoning tests and miss out on a place at a school like Lancaster Royal Grammar or Lancaster Girls' Grammar.
Finding the right support shouldn't add to your worries. One-to-one online Reading tuition provides a dedicated partner for your child, helping them build the skills and, just as importantly, the confidence they need to walk into that exam feeling prepared and capable.

Targeted Reading Support for Your Child's 11+ Journey
The right tutor does more than just teach; they connect with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they might be struggling, they can build a genuine rapport that makes learning feel positive and encouraging. We take the guesswork out of finding that perfect match, as we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
Every lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they find vocabulary challenging or struggle to read between the lines for inference questions, their tutor can create sessions focused entirely on those areas. This targeted approach means your child makes real, noticeable progress, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Carole G
Professional Reading tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

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.
