Reading and writing are two essential skills for life. However, for many children learning to read and write is a difficult experience that results in anxiety and distress for both the child and the parent.
There are three main parts to English learning: Reading - Writing - Speaking and Listening.

Following the assessment, we build an individual learning programme made up of a variety of techniques covering the following aspects of the English language:
What our parents/students are saying
My daughter Rachael started attending for English lessons in autumn. She loves coming for the lessons, always does her homework and the progress she made has given her confidence. Her last report from school indicates that she is now above her target level for English. We are very pleased with the tuition she gets and look forward to her continued progress.
