Watching Your Child Thrive with Strong Reading Skills
Reading is more than just understanding words on a page; it's the gateway to every subject, every story, and every new idea. When a child feels confident in their reading, you see it in their willingness to tackle new texts, their engagement in class discussions, and their enjoyment of books. It opens up a world of learning, whether they're delving into history at Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens or enjoying a novel by the coast. Strong reading skills build a crucial foundation, allowing them to truly access their potential across all areas of school life and beyond.

How We Find the Right Reading Tutor for Your Child
If you're new to tutoring, the idea of finding the 'right' person can feel daunting. That's why we're here to help. Tell us about your child's learning style, their specific challenges with reading, and what you hope to achieve. We then use our experience and data to thoughtfully match them with an expert Reading tutor who understands how to build confidence, not just cover content. You won't have to scroll through endless profiles; we'll bring the ideal recommendation to you.
Our online classroom is designed specifically for effective learning, far beyond a simple video call. Imagine your child and their Reading tutor sharing a digital whiteboard, working through texts, annotating passages, and marking up grammar together in real-time. Tutors use interactive tools to make reading engaging, helping your child decode words, understand context, and express their own ideas. Every session is recorded too, so they can revisit tricky concepts or review a practice essay before an exam.
Learning from home in Sunderland means no travel or disruption to your family's busy schedule. Our online sessions fit around you, whether after school or on weekends. This gives your child access to expert tutors from across the UK. And if the first tutor isn't the right match, we'll cover your initial session with a new one. We ensure the support works for your family.

I want to give a big thankyou to Luke for his work with my son.
He's been incredibly patient and supportive, while also encouraging improvement in his reading.
Luke struck a great balance between structured learning and making the sessions fun.
We've seen real progress and I highly recommend him.

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.
