You worry that if their reading isn't strong enough, they might miss out on these great opportunities.
Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An online Reading tutor partners with you and your child, building not just their vocabulary and comprehension skills, but also the confidence they need to walk into those important exams feeling prepared and capable.

Strong Reading: The Key to Your Child's School Success
Excellent reading skills are the foundation of all learning. It's not just about passing the 11+; it's about being able to understand a tricky Maths problem, analyse sources in History, or get to grips with a complex text in GCSE English. Strong reading comprehension and a wide vocabulary open doors, giving your child the best chance of securing a place at their chosen secondary school and setting them up for success at university and in their future career.

One-to-One Reading Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals
The right tutor takes the time to understand exactly how your child learns. They’ll quickly see if it’s vocabulary, inference, or speed that needs a little extra focus. By building a real connection, they create a safe and encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom.
Every session is built around your child's specific needs. Forget generic worksheets; lessons could involve working through past 11+ papers, breaking down complex sentences together, or finding fun ways to learn new words. This focused approach ensures your child makes real, noticeable progress towards their goals.
Finding that perfect support is simple and fits around your busy family life. You can connect with one of the UK's best, background-checked tutors without ever leaving home. With flexible online scheduling, you can arrange lessons that work for you, giving your child the help they need without adding any extra stress.

I have a BA (hons) in Primary Education from Oxford Brookes University. I have 13 years teaching experienceteaching children from Foundation Stage to Year 6. For many children, school can be a challenging environment to learn in. This is why I feel that tutoring can be a really positive tool to encourage a pupil to unlock their potential. I aim to make my sessions personalised to your child's needs and to also create an environment where the pupil feels comfortable enough to challenge themselves and realise their potential.

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.

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.
