Their reading fluency increases, with greater ability to recognise high-frequency sight words and decode unfamiliar words phonically. Their own texts demonstrate progressive control over language for meaning and effect.

Read reviewsEnglish confidence has increased
“My 10 year old has had a 'in person' tutor before ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï but they didn't really engage him and it wasn't effective. Our experience with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has been really great for him, Melissa has really engaged him and worked with his personality so well. I think online tutoring at home worked especially well for us, its easier and the tutors are fantastic. As a result, his confidence with English has really grown. We are very happy with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï learning and would happily recommend them.”
