Programmes
From first sounds to final papers.
Teaching is one-to-one at every stage. What changes is what we are teaching towards — a foothold in reading and number, or a grade in a public exam.
Early years & junior
Primary foundations
Reading, handwriting and number taught from the beginning, for children who have not yet got a foothold in a mainstream class.

- Number sense
- Comprehension
Secondary
O-Level

Advanced
AS & A-Level
Advanced subject support where the reading load, the writing load, or the pace of an A-Level classroom has become the obstacle rather than the subject itself.
- Subject teaching

- Access arrangements
Signs to look for
When it is worth asking the question.
None of these on its own means very much. Several of them together, in a child who is clearly bright, is usually worth a conversation.
- Reads far below the level they can talk at, or avoids reading aloud entirely.
- Spells the same word three different ways on one page.
- Homework takes hours longer than the teacher intended it to.
- Written work is much weaker than the same answer given out loud.
- Still counting on fingers well past the age you would expect.
- Reverses letters or digits — b and d, 6 and 9, 12 and 21 — beyond the early years.
- Loses the place while reading, or skips lines without noticing.
- Reports say 'not applying themselves' about a child who is visibly trying.
- School enjoyment has quietly collapsed, or stomach aches arrive on school mornings.
