More Than Just Maths and English: Building a Curious, Confident Learner

Primary education is where the magic begins. It’s not just about learning to read or getting to grips with times tables. It’s about asking ‘why?’, figuring out how things work, and discovering the joy of a new idea. When your child learns how to structure a story, they're also learning how to communicate their thoughts clearly. When they solve a tricky maths problem, they're building resilience. We help nurture that spark, turning learning into a skill for life, giving them the confidence to take on any challenge.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Flourish

The right tutor doesn't just teach a subject; they see the child behind the workbook. They take the time to understand what makes your child tick, what sparks their interest, and where those little wobbles of uncertainty creep in. It’s this personal connection that transforms learning from a task into an adventure, creating a space where your child feels safe to ask questions and build genuine self-belief. Imagine a lesson that moves at your child's pace. If they're fascinated by Roman Leicester, their tutor can weave that into a history or English session. Struggling with fractions? Their tutor will find a new way to explain it, using real-world examples until that ‘aha!’ moment happens. It’s this completely tailored approach that ensures every minute is spent building skills and, just as importantly, their confidence. Juggling school runs and after-school clubs in Leicester is already a full-time job. Our online lessons fit around your family's schedule. From the comfort of your home, your child can learn with one of the UK's best primary tutors – an expert you'd never find locally. It’s flexible, stress-free support that gives your child an incredible advantage.

Enthusiastic and experienced Biology and Primary tutor
I am an established biotech scientist and consultant with over 30 years of experience teaching maths and biology.For me, teaching is my passion to make the future leaders in science and technology. To achieve that, a person must have a good understanding of maths and science. Learning with examples is an excellent way to remember topics and do well in examinations. The human mind is curious; with time, this curiosity sometimes disappears when we don't understand specific issues.

Having been trained in primary school, specifically Early Years and Key Stage 1, I know a lot about how to make learning engaging. I aim to make sure children love learning!Wherever possible, I create games and practical activities to support children's learning, allowing them to learn and develop their knowledge - sometimes without them even knowing they're doing work, it's so fun!

For example, I link core learning to topics or characters children are interested in wherever possible. It could...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're worried about the competitive school catchment areas in Leicester. Can tutoring help my child regardless of which primary they attend?

Yes, absolutely. This is a common concern for parents in Leicester. Our tutors focus on building core skills and confidence that will help your child thrive in *any* school environment. By strengthening their foundation in maths, English, and science, we help ensure they are well-prepared and confident for the move to secondary school, no matter their primary.

My child's primary school in Leicester has very large class sizes. How can a tutor help with this?

One-to-one online tutoring is the perfect answer to large class sizes. Your child gets the tutor's undivided attention, allowing them to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in front of 30 others. The tutor can focus entirely on your child’s specific needs, filling any gaps and building on their strengths in a way that simply isn’t possible in a busy classroom.

Is online tutoring as effective as having someone come to our home in Leicester?

We find it's even more effective for many families. Your child can learn from the comfort and safety of home, and you get access to the top 8% of tutors from across the UK, not just whoever is local. With interactive tools like whiteboards, it’s just as engaging, but with far more choice and flexibility.

What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you both to be happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person for your child.

My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor help with more than just grades?

Absolutely. This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor is also a mentor and a confidence-builder. By creating a supportive space where your child can succeed, we see them start to believe in themselves again. That newfound confidence often has a positive impact on all areas of their life, not just school.

How much do online primary tutors for students in Leicester cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find an experienced, background-checked tutor who fits your family's budget.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You’ll be able to see your child's confidence grow firsthand, often in their attitude towards schoolwork and their willingness to tackle new challenges. Many parents tell us they see a difference in just a few weeks.

How do you make sure the tutors are high quality?

We're very selective! Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.

Is it just for core subjects, or can you help with creative skills too?

We believe in nurturing the whole child! Beyond maths and English, we have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore their creative side with subjects like art, music, or even coding. It's a fantastic way to build confidence and discover new passions.

Do the tutors follow the national curriculum for primary students?

Yes, all our primary tutors are experienced with the national curriculum. They can help with specific topics your child is covering at school, support with homework, or work on strengthening general skills to build a solid foundation for their learning.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has everything else built-in, including an interactive whiteboard.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Incredibly flexible. You can arrange sessions directly with your tutor for times that suit you – whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. It’s designed to fit around your busy family life.
