Classes
For children who need a little extra help with reading and maths
We are a small and dedicated team of qualified teachers, using our skill and experience in state schools to help children who need some extra help in learning to read and spell.
We offer an assessment before classes start, at a cost of £20.00, so that we can discuss with you what sort of help your child might need.
This cost is fully refunded if you enrol your child in classes.
A lesson will last for thirty minutes if the child is taught individually. If we can form a group of two to four children, then the lesson will last an hour. Children have one lesson a week, and may have a small amount of homework to do between lessons.
We teach children in groups of no more than four, so that they can all have some individual help in each lesson. Most children are taught individually or in groups of 2.
When
Every evening after school between 4 and 7, and Saturday morning. Parents may stay if they wish. We provide tea/coffee and the papers!
Lessons cost £20.00 per session.
We ask parents to pay in advance for four classes at a time.
Results
It is our policy to track each child for progress. We know from seven years of classes that, over eight hours of tuition, our children make average gains of around 13 months in reading age and 5.5 months in spelling.
Maths Classes
We are now able to offer small group help for maths.
We carry out an individual assessment for a fee of £20 so that we can design the correct teaching programme for each child's needs
Service to schools
The Reading Shop offers an outreach service to schools, consisting of small group specialist teaching tailored to individual children's needs.
