Online reading tutors from Nigeria

One-to-one reading lessons with Nigerian teachers for early readers and for older children whose reading has fallen behind their class. Lessons are live, so the tutor hears your child read aloud and corrects in the moment.

Best for early readers, and older children quietly guessing at words instead of decoding them. Requesting a tutor is free — you agree a rate, fund lessons before they run, and release payment lesson by lesson as you approve them.

What lessons cover

Phonics & decoding

Letter sounds, blends and the systematic decoding that makes unfamiliar words approachable.

Fluency

Reading aloud with pace and expression until it stops being effortful.

Comprehension

Retelling, inference and answering questions about what was actually read.

Live and one-to-one

Video lessons scheduled around your time zone, not recorded classes.

Tutor keeps 100%

The 15% service fee sits on top of the tutor's rate, never inside it.

Pay per approved lesson

Funds are held and released lesson by lesson as you approve them.

Questions parents ask about reading tutoring

My child reads but does not understand. Is that the same thing?

No, and it needs different lessons. Say so when you request — decoding and comprehension are taught differently, and a tutor will assess which one is the problem in the first session.

How long are lessons?

Short and frequent beats long and rare for reading. Many families run 30-40 minute lessons several times a week; you agree the schedule with the tutor.

How does payment work?

Requesting a tutor is free. Once you agree a rate, you fund lessons up front and release payment lesson by lesson as you approve them. The tutor keeps 100% of the agreed rate — TeachConnect adds its 15% service fee on top rather than taking it out of the tutor's pay.
