Many parents in Lancaster first look for a tutor when their child is in Year 4 or 5 and the gap between where they are and where they should be starts to widen. The earlier you act, the easier it is to close that gap. Our primary tutors specialise in working with children aged 5 to 11, using age-appropriate methods that build both skills and confidence.
KS1 and KS2 Support
Our primary tutors in Lancaster 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 Lancaster, 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.
Reading and Writing
Strong literacy is the foundation for success in every other subject. Our tutors in Lancaster work on reading fluency, comprehension, spelling, grammar, and written composition — tailored to where your child is right now. For reluctant readers, we use high-interest texts to build motivation alongside skill.
Our primary school tutors in Lancaster 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.
