Why choose us

English at Primary School

Reading and writing underpin every other subject, so a gap here shows up everywhere. Our tutors work at your child's reading level, not their year level.

  • Structured phonics and decoding support for readers who need it
  • Writing taught as a process - plan, draft, edit - rather than a one-off task
  • Progress checked against NZC Curriculum Levels 1 to 3

Common Questions, Answered

Can't find what you need? Our academic advisors are available across New Zealand time zones.

My child can read but does not understand what they read. Can you help?+
Yes. Decoding and comprehension are different skills, and fluent readers can still miss meaning. We assess both separately and target whichever is holding your child back.
Do you support reading recovery or extra help from school?+
We work alongside whatever your child's school provides. Tell us what their teacher has flagged and we will build the sessions around it.
How young can a child start?+
We tutor from Year 1. Sessions for new entrants are short, playful and focused on letter sounds, sight words and confidence.
