Read Easy Chilterns offers free, confidential, and friendly one-to-one coaching for adults who want to learn to read or improve their reading skills. Our group covers High Wycombe, Aylesbury, and surrounding towns including Amersham, Chesham, Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, The Chalfonts, Wendover, Tring, and Hemel Hempstead.
We match each new reader with a trained volunteer coach, meeting regularly at a convenient local venue. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and progress at your own pace. All coaching is free of charge and designed to be supportive and encouraging.
