About

Hello, I'm Bukola

I taught adult literacy for fifteen years, and I still tutor adults one to one and in small groups in my reading room in Nottingham. Most of my learners were never bad at reading. They were hurried, and then they hid it.

Little by Little is what I wish I could hand every one of them: one idea at a time, at your own pace, with no test at the end.
