KS1 tuition, for a confident start
The first years of school set the tone for everything after. Our KS1 tutors build early reading, writing and maths through play and encouragement — so learning feels like something your child wants to do, not has to.
What we cover
The building blocks of KS1
English & literacy
Phonics, early reading comprehension, first writing and spelling.
Maths & numeracy
Counting, place value, number bonds, and early addition and subtraction.
Science
Observing, comparing and simple experiments that make "why?" fun to answer.
Communication
Storytelling, vocabulary, and the confidence to listen and speak up.
How we teach it
Learning through play, not pressure
Play-infused lessons
Storytelling and hands-on games carry the learning, so young children stay engaged from start to finish.
A plan from a short assessment
We start by seeing where your child actually is, then build a step-by-step plan from simple to more complex.
Confidence first
Plenty of encouragement and small wins, with SATs practice and homework help folded in when it's needed.
