Frequently Asked Questions
Year 1 Tutoring
How are Year 1 lessons tailored to my child?
We match each lesson to your child’s reading, writing, and maths level so they feel supported, challenged, and proud of their progress.
Do you offer private or group tutoring for Year 1?
Yes — choose from one-on-one Private Lessons for individual focus or small Micro Groups that make learning social and encouraging.
How does tutoring help compared with classroom learning?
In school, teachers manage large classes. Tutoring provides personalised explanations and extra time to practise tricky concepts until they click.
Who teaches Year 1 students?
Our tutors specialise in early primary education. They bring patience, creativity, and proven methods to help students build strong learning foundations.
My child gets anxious about reading or maths — can you help?
Absolutely. Our tutors use calm, confidence-building strategies and lots of praise to turn frustration into small, consistent wins.
How will I know my child is improving?
You’ll receive detailed lesson evaluations after each session through the Parent Portal and are always welcome to speak with your child’s tutor. Best of all, you’ll see your child leave each lesson smiling, more confident, and enjoying school again.
