The primary school years lay the groundwork for everything that follows. In Peterhead, our tutors work with children from Reception through to Year 6, supporting reading, writing, and maths at a pace that suits each child. Whether your child needs help catching up, wants to stay on track, or is ready to be stretched, we match them with a tutor who understands where they are and where they need to get to.
The Scottish Curriculum
Primary schools in Peterhead follow the Curriculum for Excellence, which organises learning into levels rather than year groups. Our tutors understand how CfE levels work and how to support children who are working towards Early, First, or Second Level benchmarks in literacy and numeracy. We focus on building the skills the curriculum expects, using materials that align with what your child is doing in school.
Reading and Writing
Strong literacy is the foundation for success in every other subject. Our tutors in Peterhead 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.
Maths Confidence
Many children in Peterhead 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.
Year 6 and SATs Preparation
For Year 6 children in Peterhead, 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.
Our primary school tutors in Peterhead 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.
