Primary (Key Stage 1)
Primary (Key Stage 2)
Primary school is such a special time, full of wonder and discovery. Yet, for many parents, it also brings a unique set of worries, as the gentle world of early learning gradually introduces formal checkpoints like the Phonics Screening Check, Multiplication Tables Check, and eventually, KS2 SATs, secondary school application forms, or even private school entrance exams. It’s natural to feel a growing tension between wanting to protect your child's love of learning and preparing them for these important milestones. You might find yourself asking if a six-year-old really needs a 'test', wondering about 'pseudo-words', or feeling unsure about what 'teacher assessment' for KS1 actually means. The pressure to master times tables, navigate complex application forms, or prepare for the 11+ can feel overwhelming. These aren't just academic hurdles; they can impact your child's confidence and enjoyment of school. That's where personalised support from our primary school tutors comes in. We understand these concerns and are here to help your child feel confident and calm. Imagine learning that’s truly tailored to their needs, making every step of their primary journey feel exciting and manageable, not scary.

Primary education lays the groundwork for all future learning, fostering a genuine curiosity that lasts a lifetime. It’s during these crucial years that your child develops essential literacy and numeracy skills, not just to pass exams, but to thrive as confident, independent learners. A strong start in subjects like English and maths during primary school is vital for navigating the challenges of secondary education, whether that's performing well in a secondary school application or excelling in private school entrance exams or a common entrance exam. More than just academics, it’s about building problem-solving abilities and a positive mindset towards learning, skills that open doors to a wide range of opportunities in their later life.

Professional Primary tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

We couldn't ask for a better tutor for English and Maths.
Reece has a natural teaching style that comes from the heart, and he is very patient and knows how to keep my child completely engaged.
He's so good at quickly pinpointing strengths and weaknesses in both subjects.

Gemma P
Gemma started tutoring my 9 year old daughter in English and Maths last September. At this point my daughter was having many struggles academically and had lost all confidence and no longer wanted to try to achieve good marks at school.
Nearly a year on and having just received her school summer report I am ecstatic to read a 100% turnaround.
Both my daughter’s maths and English teachers have stated how proud she should be of how far she has progressed in just one year and the change in her confidence and abilities and how they have grown.
Previously scoring below average, my daughter is now scoring higher than average.
This is down to this amazing tutor Gemma, my daughter has ADHD and suffers with concentration and remaining in the zone for periods of time. Gemma has built her confidence to attempt work independently and has been so patient with her even when her concentration has lacked and has done her upmost to keep her engagement.
I am eternally grateful as Gemma reversed my daughters outlook on school work and is has been fantastic to watch her strive thanks to her tutoring.
My daughter looks forward to her sessions, Gemma had a natural ability to relate with your child that clearly makes learning enjoyable and not a chore.
I am that pleased with the progress made that even though we are relocating to Cyprus I am continuing sessions with Gemma.
The biggest thank you Gemma, your hard work and dedication to supporting children is commendable and I would strongly recommend your teaching skills to all parents out there looking to support their child’s academic growth and understanding.
I have seen my child excel under Gemma, I would look no further this teacher is the one!
