What We Do
The Reading Doctor network is made up of passionate, fully qualified teachers, who share a commitment to transforming the reading journey for every child they work with. Each Reading Doctor completes our own rigorous training programme, equipping them with specialist knowledge, bespoke resources, and proven intervention techniques.
We work exclusively on a one-to-one basis, ensuring that every session is highly tailored to each Reading Doctor pupil’s individual needs, pace, and goals. Our intervention is delivered either from a fully equipped, welcoming home Reading Room or from a dedicated Reading Doctor School Hub. Our learning environments are carefully designed to inspire confidence, spark curiosity, and give every Reading Doctor pupil the tools they need to thrive.
