Primary (Key Stage 2)
It's completely understandable if you're noticing your child finding things a little tricky in Key Stage 1, and feeling that growing urge to help them. Perhaps school feedback has mentioned they're a little behind, or homework battles over reading and sounding out words have become a regular thing. You might even be thinking about the upcoming Phonics Screening Check and wondering if extra support is needed. It's natural to wonder if a child this young is ready for tutoring, or if it might add too much pressure. We understand you just want them to feel confident and happy with learning, not overwhelmed. You're not alone in these thoughts, and it's certainly not your fault. Finding the right KS1 tutor can be a wonderfully gentle way to build those foundational skills. They offer friendly, one-on-one help to make learning fun again, helping your child build confidence and truly enjoy their early educational journey.

Mastering reading, writing, and basic maths at this age isn't just about passing primary assessments; it's about giving your child the confidence and tools they need for their entire academic journey. When children feel secure in these core skills, they're better prepared for Key Stage 2 and beyond, opening doors to more complex learning and helping them to thrive in all subjects. It sets them up to enjoy school and develop a positive attitude towards education, which is a wonderful gift for their future.
