Not every child learns at the same speed, and classroom teaching can't always fill the gaps. Parents in Kendal come to us when they notice their child struggling with reading fluency, number confidence, or written expression — or when the school has flagged that a child is falling behind expected levels. Our primary tutors work alongside what's being taught in school to reinforce and build on classroom learning.
KS1 and KS2 Support
Our primary tutors in Kendal follow the national curriculum closely. For KS1 children (Years 1–2), we focus on phonics, early reading, number bonds, and basic arithmetic. For KS2 (Years 3–6), sessions cover the more demanding expectations around reading comprehension, written grammar, fractions, and problem-solving. Everything we do links back to what your child is learning in the classroom.
Year 6 and SATs Preparation
For Year 6 children in Kendal, SATs preparation is an important part of the school year. Our tutors help with the specific question types that appear in the arithmetic, reasoning, reading, and grammar papers. We focus on exam technique alongside content, so children know how to approach each paper calmly and efficiently.
Maths Confidence
Many children in Kendal develop maths anxiety early, often because they've missed a key concept and everything built on top of it feels shaky. Our tutors identify exactly where the gaps are — whether that's place value, times tables, fractions, or word problems — and work through them systematically until confidence returns.
Our primary school tutors in Kendal are experienced with this age group and know how to keep sessions productive without losing a child's attention. Most families start with one session a week. Contact us to discuss what your child needs.
