Building the Foundations for Nottingham's Best Secondary Schools
A solid grasp of Primary maths and English is more than just about passing tests; it's the bedrock for future success. It's what allows a child to walk into a competitive secondary school feeling prepared and capable. The skills they master now in understanding fractions or writing compelling stories are the very same ones that prevent struggles with GCSEs later. This fundamental confidence is what opens doors to ambitious futures, perhaps even one day at the University of Nottingham.

Personalised Primary Support for Your Nottingham Child
The right support starts with real understanding. We connect you with tutors who take the time to discover how your child learns – what makes them curious, where they get stuck, and when they have that brilliant 'aha!' moment. It’s a partnership that transforms 'I can't do this' into 'I'll give it a go', building the resilience and self-belief they'll need for secondary school and beyond. Every online lesson is built around your child. If they're struggling with percentages, their tutor can use interactive tools to make it visual and clear. If creative writing feels like a chore, they'll find topics that spark their imagination. This one-to-one focus ensures they're not just keeping up, but getting ahead, building a solid foundation for entrance exams or simply starting Year 7 with a head start. Best of all, this support fits around your family's life in Nottingham. No extra travel after the school run; just effective, engaging learning from home. You get access to the UK's best Primary specialists – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply – giving your child a huge advantage. It's the smart, flexible way to provide the support they deserve.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Primary Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Emma S
Emma has been an invaluable asset to my 10-year-old daughter’s education over the past three months. She very quick to identify my child's specific learning style, and we saw a genuine difference in school assessment results within just four weeks.
Beyond the grades, the boost in my daughter’s confidence has been fantastic to see. Emma is patient, fun, and highly supportive, making every lesson something my daughter truly enjoys. She provides productive feedback and guidance that has been helpful for both of us. I am so glad we found her and would 100% recommend her to any parent looking for an effective and engaging tutor

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My main worry is getting my child into a competitive Nottingham secondary school. Can a Primary tutor really help with this?
Absolutely. Whilst we don't 'teach to the test', our tutors focus on building the deep-rooted confidence and core skills in maths and English that top secondary schools in Nottingham, including independents like Nottingham High School, look for. A strong foundation is the best preparation for any future academic challenge.
Since Nottingham doesn't have a formal 11+ system, how does tutoring help prepare for secondary school?
It's all about building 'secondary readiness'. Our tutors ensure your child has a rock-solid understanding of the Key Stage 2 curriculum, so they can start Year 7 feeling capable and ahead of the curve. For those considering independent schools, this core knowledge is crucial for their entrance exams.
Is online tutoring as effective as finding someone in person in Nottingham?
We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring gives your child access to the best Primary specialists from across the UK, not just whoever is local. This means you can find someone with the perfect experience and teaching style for your child. Plus, with no travel and flexible scheduling, it’s far more convenient for busy families.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with the first tutor we try?
It's so important that your child and their tutor 'click'. If it doesn't feel like the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How are your Primary tutors vetted?
We're incredibly selective because your child's education is so important. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by a member of our team, and has their qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
Do you only offer tutoring for maths and English?
Not at all! Whilst maths and English are our most popular Primary subjects, we have expert tutors across the curriculum, including science. We also offer tutoring for modern languages, music, and even skills like coding, so we can support your child's passions as well as their schoolwork.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor. Tutors provide regular feedback on what they've covered and how your child is progressing. The best sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow – when they start volunteering to read aloud or tackle their maths homework without any fuss.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools they'll need, including an interactive whiteboard, right in the browser.
How much does online Primary tutoring cost for learners in Nottingham?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect tutor for your budget, with no hidden fees.
How long is a typical online session for a Primary school child?
For Primary-aged children, we find that one hour is the ideal length for a session. It gives them enough time to settle in, work through concepts, and ask questions without losing focus. You can discuss what works best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Can we find a tutor who has experience with specific learning needs?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with a wide range of learning needs, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors with the specific experience you're looking for.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Extremely flexible. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works best for your family's schedule. You agree on times directly with your tutor.
