Kara Cook. Online Phonics Tutor
Just 2 Imagine Tutors
Hi, I’m Kara, an experienced early literacy and phonics tutor helping children aged 4–7 grow in confidence with reading, writing, and phonics through personalised online support.
Every child learns differently. Whether your child needs support with blending, reading fluency, spelling, or early writing skills, I’ll help uncover the approach that works best for them.
During our quick call, we’ll talk about your child’s strengths, the areas they are finding trickier, and the support that may help them move forward with confidence.
And even if my tutoring isn’t the right fit, I’ll always offer honest guidance and practical next steps to support your child’s reading journey.
If this sounds like the right support for your child,

Literacy Matters
“Young children learning to read is one of the
most important things primary education does.
It’s fundamental to children making progress in life."
— Dominic Wyse, Professor of Primary Education, University College London
This belief sits at the heart of my approach to reading and literacy support.
Learning to read is one of the most important skills your child will ever learn, but that doesn’t mean it always feels easy.
As reading starts to feel trickier, some children lose confidence with blending, longer words, and reading fluency.
Reading at home can quickly become frustrating for both children and parents.
You shouldn’t have to figure it all out on your own.
With the right support, children can build the confidence, skills, and willingness to keep going when reading feels hard.
Imagine your child feeling calmer, more confident, and proud of the progress they are making with reading.
I help children build their early literacy skills
and confidence to make reading feel easier.
After the first lesson, you'll feel calmer knowing your child is getting the right support.

Puzzle the Panda
Hello! I’m Puzzle the Panda.
My two favourite things are
food and reading!
Children help me learn new sounds and words as they begin to blend and sound out simple words.
I may be a little clumsy sometimes, but children love helping me read!
Wug the Alien
Hello! I’m Wug the Alien and I sometimes get muddled up with English words.
Children love reading my silly “Wuggish” nonsense words and helping me practise my reading.
“Wuggish, rubbish!” is one of my favourite things to hear!
Trick the Robot
Hello! I’m Trick the Robot.
I help children spot tricky parts in words and become smoother, more confident readers.
I love collecting tricky words.
I remind children that some words need to be read in one go!
