My Story

A lifelong passion for helping children read

Hello! I'm Mrs B, and I've dedicated my career to helping children discover the joy of reading. With years of experience as a primary school teacher and specialist phonics teacher, I've seen first-hand how the right approach can unlock a child's potential.

Based in Portugal and working with families across the Middle East and beyond, I bring structured, evidence-based phonics teaching to children wherever they are. Whether it's through our online sessions, face-to-face workshops, or home resources, my goal is always the same: to help every child become a confident, happy reader.

Every child learns differently, and I believe that with patience, understanding, and the right strategies, every child can succeed. I'm passionate about making reading fun and helping children build real confidence in their literacy skills.

"The moment a child reads their first word independently โ€” that's the magic I live for."

โ€” Mrs B
