Let’s Talk about Primary

Primary English tutoring focuses on building essential literacy skills aligned with the National Curriculum. Every lesson is designed to develop skills in reading, comprehension, writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar and vocabulary.

Our tailored lessons support children from the first year of schooling to Year 6, building essential literacy skills aligned with the National Curriculum. This helps them gain confidence in reading fluency, comprehension, and written expression. Whether helping to catch up to their grade level, or simply needing a boost in literacy skills before NAPLAN, our tutors adapt their approach to each child's individual needs.

We reinforce classroom learning and address gaps through targeted support in areas including inference and deduction, creative writing, and language conventions (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar.) Our goal is to equip our students with the tools they need to succeed academically and foster a lifelong love of reading and writing.

Does Tutoring Work?

 

Absolutely, but don’t just take our word for it.

Take it from Meagan, a Kip McGrath parent, who shared:

"My son has been attending Kip McGrath for 12 months now for assistance with his primary level English and he has made the most outstanding progress. He has gone from being a reluctant reader to now thoroughly enjoying reading. Not only this but his reading and comprehension is now back at his grade level and I am absolutely amazed at what my son has achieved in just 12 months. David has done an incredible job and the programme has been the best decision I could have made for my son's education. He is absolutely oozing with confidence now."
