Why this works for English

Built around how English reading and writing actually work

  • English’s irregular spelling-to-sound relationships can make phonics-based reading especially tricky without one-on-one practice.
  • Our teachers use the Adaptive Learning Method to break reading and writing into the exact skills your child needs next.
  • Confidence-building matters as much as the mechanics — our happiness officers help make sure your child doesn’t lose heart along the way.
What this can look like

Common signs in English reading and writing

  • Difficulty blending sounds to read simple words (phonics).
  • Reverses or confuses letters like b/d, p/q.
  • Struggles to spell even common, familiar words.
  • Avoids reading aloud, at home or in class.

These signs are illustrative, not a diagnosis. An expert can help you understand your child’s needs.

Struggling in more than one language?

We work with one language at a time, so your child can build real confidence before adding another.

Our approach

The Adaptive Learning Method

Every child struggles differently, so every child is taught differently. Read and Write is built around one belief: learning should be tailored to the child, not the other way around.

A child reading one-on-one with a teacher
  • A personalised plan built around your child’s current level, pace, and specific challenges — not a fixed curriculum.
  • One-on-one attention, every session — no classroom, no comparison to other children.
  • Progress is followed closely and the plan adapts as your child grows.

A psychologist

Helps understand and address the challenges behind the struggle — not just the reading and writing itself.
