Why students need help

Reading is the foundation of all academic learning. Children who struggle to read fluently or understand what they read fall further behind across every subject as the curriculum becomes more text-heavy. Early intervention from a specialist reading tutor prevents compounding gaps.

Frequently asked questions

My child can read the words but doesn't understand what they've read. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is called a comprehension deficit, and it is very common. Your child's decoding is strong but their reading comprehension strategies are underdeveloped. A tutor will teach specific techniques: finding evidence in the text, making inferences, summarising, and understanding vocabulary in context. These are teachable skills.

How do I choose a good primary reading tutor?

Look for a tutor with a primary or English background who mentions comprehension, fluency and reading strategies specifically. Ask whether they can do an initial assessment to pinpoint exactly what type of support your child needs. The best tutors adapt to the child's interests, a child who loves sport, Minecraft or animals will progress faster if the reading material reflects those interests.
