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.

asked questions

My child is aiming for The Blue Coat School. Can a tutor help them prepare for the reading demands?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong reading comprehension and analytical skills needed to thrive in academically demanding environments like The Blue Coat School. They can tailor lessons to focus on the specific skills your child needs to feel confident and prepared.
We're thinking about A-levels at Oldham Sixth Form College. How can a Reading tutor help my child get ready?
Strong reading skills are fundamental for A-level success across all subjects. A tutor can help your child master advanced comprehension, critical analysis, and the ability to read and synthesise complex information – all essential skills for making a smooth transition to Oldham Sixth Form College and achieving their best results.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
You can start by browsing tutor profiles, watching their introduction videos, and reading reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Reading tutor?

While we cover all academic subjects from primary school to university level, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills! Your child could learn anything from coding or playing the guitar to a new language.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed to make a difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What age groups do your Reading tutors teach?

Can I message a tutor before booking a lesson?
