Why parents choose us

Lessons feel fun, not forced. We keep activities short, feedback kind, and progress visible—so children want to come back.

🎲 Playful + structured

Kids learn best when the plan is clear and the pace is lively. We rotate through 5–8 minute tasks—phonics games, mini reading, quick speaking turns—so attention stays fresh and confidence grows.

  • Predictable routine that reduces worry
  • Small wins every few minutes
  • Gentle correction that lifts, not knocks

🔤 Phonics that sticks

Sound-first methods (blending, segmenting, “say it → see it → write it”) are used in an age-appropriate way. We build phonemic awareness and decoding without the overwhelm.

  • Clear modelling and echo reading
  • Targeted practice sheets for home
  • Progress you can hear and see

🧒 Parent-friendly & inclusive

I work in a UK primary school and adapt to different needs (SEND, EAL, shy starters). You’ll get tiny recaps, one simple home idea, and a certificate at the end of a pack.

  • Safeguarding first: no photos of children shared
  • Calm, kind tone that invites brave attempts
  • Course completion certificate for every pack
