Supportive Online Reading Tutoring for Your Child
Many parents new to tutoring feel unsure where to start. You don't need to become an expert. Simply answer a few clear questions about your child – their Reading level, what they find challenging, how they learn best. We'll then carefully match them with a small number of tutors chosen specifically for their needs. These aren't just subject experts; they're skilled communicators who build confidence and find new ways to explain tricky concepts. We take the guesswork out of finding the right person.
Online sessions mean no travel from your south-london home, fitting easily around busy family life, after school or at weekends. Your child accesses top Reading tutors from anywhere in the UK, not just those nearby. And if the first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we’ll happily cover your child's first session with a new tutor. It's flexible, reliable support, right where you need it.

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.
