Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a Primary English tutor encourage my child to read for pleasure?

A tutor can make reading exciting again by exploring diverse books, tapping into your child's interests, and using interactive methods to bring stories to life. They move beyond dull school reading schemes, helping your child develop genuine comprehension and a lifelong love for reading, rather than seeing it as a chore.

My child struggles with messy handwriting and chaotic spelling. Can a tutor help with these fundamental skills?

Yes, absolutely. Primary English tutors can provide focused, engaging exercises for handwriting, whether it's forming letters correctly in Year 1 or mastering cursive in KS2. For spelling, they use tailored methods that help your child understand patterns and rules, building lasting retention rather than just memorising words for a Friday test.

What about the complex grammar terminology taught in primary school, like 'fronted adverbials'? I don't understand it myself.

Many parents share this concern! A Primary English tutor can demystify terms like fronted adverbials, subordinate clauses, and other complex grammar. They explain these concepts in a clear, child-friendly way, helping your child (and you!) understand how to use them effectively to improve their writing.

Is the curriculum so focused on spelling, punctuation, and grammar (SPaG) that it stifles my child's creativity?

Our tutors understand the importance of balancing technical accuracy with imaginative expression. While they will help your child master SPaG, they also encourage creative writing, showing how strong technical skills can enhance, not hinder, their ability to tell wonderful stories and develop their unique voice.

My child is facing assessments like the Phonics Screening Check or Year 2/Year 6 SATs. How can a tutor help with the pressure?

Tutors provide calm, focused preparation for primary assessments, including the Phonics Screening Check in Year 1 and the Year 2 and Year 6 SATs. They can practise specific paper types, clarify tricky questions, and build your child's confidence so they feel prepared and in control, rather than overwhelmed by the pressure.

When is the best time to start tutoring for Primary English?

Any time you feel your child could benefit from extra support or enrichment is a good time. Whether it's to build strong foundations in Year 1, navigate the complexities of KS2 English, boost comprehension, or ensure they're ready for secondary school, one-to-one tutoring is effective at any stage.
