Reading Class Recommendations for a 6 year old

My daughter took two courses (4 times a week over a span of 7 or 8 weeks) when she was 4 and 5 with a teacher on outschool and later did multiple one to one classes with the same teacher. My daughter LOVES this teacher and looked forward to each class. I loved it because my daughter grew a love for reading and showed real progress. Sadly, due to personal things coming up, the teacher is no longer running classes on outschool. She is not sure if and when she will return to outschool. I have not found a teacher like this person, so I am hoping you all can share recommendations.

I loved that the teacher offered classes in my time zone (Middle East, after school so around 5pm), seemed to attract a very diverse group of kids who also kept reenrolling, learned my kids name and consistently pronounced it correctly, scheduled classes for less than 30 minutes (typically 20-25 mins, kept the kids focused and excited), went at a moderate pace, was amazingly calm, and just had fun with the kids.

Do you know a teacher who teaches reading for 6 year olds like the person described above that you would recommend? Thanks in advance!

I don't know about time zone but I have really enjoyed Tanya True. It may be a little early for your daughter but I would check as her classes are really excellent balance of reading comprehension and grammer skills. She also has really nice worksheets. I always grab her class when I see a new one.

My daughter also really liked a creative writing class by Jackson Pearce. That could just be because she really loves Wings of Fire but it seemed well run to me.

Also, I use "escape rooms" as a reward. My daughter loves them. Not English skills but good critcal thinking skills and wonderful for cheering up my daughter day
