Basic literacy skills are essential if we are to communicate effectively. What we learn as a young child has a significant effect on how we progress later in life. Literacy tuition can be helpful for all age groups.

It may be that your child has missed out on important basic skills at some stage of their learning and needs to have individual help to ‘fill the gaps’. He/she may struggle with reading because they are unable to decipher words; perhaps the problem is with spelling and what’s needed is help with learning some spelling rules; or maybe he/she is not confident with grammar and punctuation.

Whatever the situation, an individual programme will be created to focus on your child’s needs.

The greatest difficulty for adults tends to be the fact that they have been making the same mistakes for a long time and it is, therefore, harder to break the habit. An adult programme would be designed to help the adult learner understand what he/she has been doing wrong, and why, and to develop strategies for getting it right in the future.

Maybe you need help to improve basic reading and writing skills and want to have individual help rather than join a class or group. It could be that you require support with a course of study that is making demands on your literacy skills, that cause you to lose confidence. Perhaps you just want to improve your literacy skills to improve your job prospects.

Whatever the case, your needs can be met in an individual programme that will be created to focus on your need.
