Worried that your child is falling behind with reading?

You've probably already tried lots of things.

You've listened to their teacher's advice, bought books, practised spellings and encouraged them to read at home. You've been patient, you've tried to make it fun, and you've done your best to help.

But reading is still a struggle.

Perhaps your child avoids reading whenever they can. Maybe homework has become a battle, or you're beginning to notice their confidence slipping.

And it's particularly hard when they start saying things like, "I'm no good at this," or "I hate reading."

As a parent, you can see how much they're capable of. You just don't know what else to try.

The good news is that your child doesn't need more of the same. They need teaching that starts exactly where they are.

That's where I can help.

I provide specialist online phonics, reading and spelling tuition that identifies the gaps in your child's learning and helps them build the skills they need, one manageable step at a time.

Lessons are carefully structured, encouraging and designed to help your child experience success from the very beginning. They'll learn at a pace that suits them, building not just their reading and spelling skills, but the confidence to recognise their own progress and take pride in what they can achieve.

Because every child deserves to feel that reading is something they can do.

Let's start with two lessons.

Rather than asking you to commit to ongoing tuition straight away, I offer a no-obligation, two-session trial.

It's an opportunity for me to get to know your child, find out what they already know and identify where they need support.

It's also a chance for you and your child to experience how I teach, ask questions and decide whether we're a good fit.

No pressure. Just a clear, positive first step towards helping your child become a successful reader.
