One-to-One Help, Right Here When You Need It

What are the main topics covered in KS1 maths tuition?
Our curriculum is strictly aligned with the current UK National Curriculum for Key Stage 1. We focus on building a "number sense" through:
Number Bonds: Mastering pairs that make 10 and 20.
Basic Arithmetic: Addition, subtraction, and grouping.
Geometry: 2D/3D shapes, time, and money.
Fractions: Understanding halves and quarters visually.
Why is my child finding Year 1 or Year 2 maths difficult?
Modern primary schools use different methods than many parents were taught, such as "part-whole models" or "ten-frames." If a child misses a single building block—like number bonds—they can quickly feel overwhelmed. Our tutors bridge this gap by using hands-on props to turn abstract numbers into physical concepts they can see and touch.
Is tuition effective for Key Stage 1?
Yes. We believe high-quality support should be accessible. By offering structured, small-group sessions, we provide the regular, weekly reinforcement that young children need to move information from their short-term to long-term memory. This consistency is the most effective way to prevent maths anxiety from forming.
How do I know if my child needs a KS1 maths tutor?
Early signs include a reluctance to do maths homework, confusion over simple counting, or struggling to recognize basic shapes. Because KS1 provides the foundation for the rest of their academic career, catching these "blips" in Year 1 or 2 prevents them from becoming major hurdles in Year 3 and beyond.
