Find an expert Primary Key Stage 1 tutor

Q: Is my child too young for a KS1 tutor? A: It's a common question, and the answer is usually no. Our KS1 tutors are experienced in working with young children and understand how to make learning engaging and fun. The aim isn't to add pressure, but to offer gentle, individualised support that builds confidence and addresses any early learning gaps in a positive way. Q: How do you make tutoring sessions fun and suitable for Key Stage 1 children? A: Our tutors specialise in adapting their teaching methods for young learners. They use a variety of play-based activities, interactive games, stories, and creative approaches to keep children engaged. The focus is always on making learning an enjoyable experience, helping your child stay curious and motivated. Q: Are your KS1 tutors familiar with specific phonics programmes? A: Many of our primary KS1 tutors are very familiar with common phonics programmes used in UK schools, such as Read Write Inc. or Letters and Sounds. When searching for a tutor, you can discuss your child's school's approach with potential tutors to ensure their methods align, providing consistent support. Q: How will a tutor help my child build confidence? A: Confidence building is at the heart of our approach. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe space where your child can ask questions, make mistakes, and achieve small successes without feeling judged. This individual attention allows the tutor to celebrate every step of progress, helping your child believe in their own abilities and fostering a positive attitude towards learning. Q: How will I know about my child's progress and how will you communicate with their teacher? A: Your tutor will provide regular feedback to you, keeping you informed about what your child is working on and their progress. While direct communication with school teachers needs to be arranged between you and the school, your tutor can certainly offer insights and suggestions that you can then share, helping to create a joined-up approach. Q: How much does KS1 tutoring cost? A: Tutoring rates for our experienced KS1 tutors start from £34 per hour. This investment provides your child with dedicated one-to-one support tailored precisely to their needs, helping them build essential skills and confidence for their academic journey ahead.
