It's completely natural to worry if your child's reading skills are strong enough to help them thrive.

That's where we can help. A dedicated one-to-one Reading tutor can give your child the focused support and confidence they need. It’s a partnership designed to build a strong foundation, not just for their upcoming exams, but for their long-term ambitions, like securing a place at the University of Nottingham.

Why Strong Reading Skills are the Key to Your Child's Future

Good reading isn't just about passing English; it's the foundation for all learning. Strong comprehension is essential for your child to understand history textbooks, break down science questions, and even tackle wordy maths problems. By building these skills now, you're not just helping them with their immediate schoolwork; you're opening doors to better GCSE results across all subjects, and giving them the best possible chance to pursue the college, university, and career paths they dream of.

Personalised Reading Support, When Your Child Needs It Most

We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective—only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and an expert in their field. They’ll take the time to get to know your child, understand their unique learning style, and build a positive, supportive relationship where they feel comfortable to ask questions and make progress. Because every child learns differently, every lesson is tailored to their specific needs. One week, their tutor might focus on phonics to build fluency; the next, they could be analysing a chapter from their favourite book to improve comprehension. This one-to-one attention means your child gets the exact help they need to fill in any gaps and build real confidence in their abilities. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With our online lessons, you can connect with the perfect Reading tutor without having to travel. It's simple to arrange sessions that fit around your family's life in Nottingham, making it easy for your child to get consistent, high-quality support from the comfort of your own home.

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.

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.
