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

We meet on Zoom from a quiet corner at home. Lessons are short, varied, and playful — phonics games, speaking turns, and kind feedback. Children feel safe to try and enjoy small wins.
After each lesson, you’ll get a quick recap plus one simple five-minute home idea. At the end of a pack, your child receives a cheerful certificate to celebrate progress.
All sessions are paid. If you’re new, the Starter pack is a gentle way to test the fit without committing long-term.
Every lesson follows a gentle rhythm that keeps children engaged, builds their confidence, and makes English feel fun. With bright visuals, games, and kind encouragement, your child knows what to expect and feels safe to learn.
Cheerful hello, quick feelings check, and a tiny warm-up game to get minds ready. Builds trust and comfort from the start.
Bite-size activities like phonics games, blending sounds, short speaking turns. Each task lasts 5–8 minutes to keep attention fresh.
