Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Is my child too young for a KS1 tutor?
Not at all. Many parents choose to start Key Stage 1 tutoring early to give their child a gentle, confidence-boosting start. At this age, learning should be fun - and our KS1 tutors know exactly how to make that happen. Through games, play-based activities, and encouragement, they help children build essential skills without stress or pressure.
How can a KS1 tutor help with early reading and the Phonics Screening Check?
Our KS1 reading tutors are specialists in early literacy and phonics. They use fun, effective techniques to help children sound out words, blend sounds, and grow their reading fluency. Many also support the same phonics schemes used in schools, so your child gets consistent help that aligns perfectly with their lessons. This kind of focused, friendly support can make all the difference when preparing for the Phonics Screening Check.
What subjects can a Key Stage 1 tutor support with?
KS1 tutors can help your child with all the key subjects taught in Years 1 and 2 - including Maths, English (reading, writing, and phonics), Science, History, and Geography. They can also guide your child through KS1 and primary assessments, giving them the tools and confidence to tackle early tests calmly and successfully.
How do KS1 tutors build confidence in young learners?
One-to-one tutoring provides a supportive space where your child feels heard and encouraged. Our tutors move at your child’s pace, celebrating every small step forward and helping them see what they can do. When children feel understood and supported, confidence grows naturally.
How can I find the right KS1 tutor for my child?
Finding the right match is easy. You can browse tutor profiles, read genuine reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly before booking. That way, you’ll know your child is learning with someone who connects with their personality and understands how they learn best.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You’ll receive regular feedback from your tutor, including updates on what your child has achieved and what they’ll work on next. Tutors can also align their sessions with feedback from your child’s teacher, so school and tutoring work hand-in-hand. It’s a collaborative approach that keeps you in the loop and supports your child from every angle.
How much does Key Stage 1 tutoring cost?
Prices for KS1 tutoring vary depending on the tutor’s experience and qualifications, but you’ll always see the hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees - just straightforward, transparent pricing. You can easily find a trusted tutor who fits both your child’s needs and your family’s budget.
