Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
👨🏫 How can I find a primary school tutor?
👨👦 At what age should my child start tuition?
There are tutors who cater for all ages. However, in general, it is recommended that children are at least 5 or 6 years old. To filter your search by age on FindTutors, you can use the filters on the left to select primary school if, for example, you are trying to find a maths and physics tutor that teaches primary school children.
📖 What subjects do primary school tutors offer?
All subjects. There are two types of primary school tutor. The first kind is those who specialise in primary school tuition. These primary school tutors tend to offer all subjects with some specialising in SATs and the 11 plus exams. The second kind is tutors who specialise in a particular subject, whether it’s a maths and physics tutor, French tutor or something else.
💰 How much does private tuition cost?
In general, primary school tutors tend to charge between £10 and £20 per hour. This range is, however, only a guide as there can be tutors who charge more or less than this. The exact cost usually depends on how the lessons are taught (in person or online), the tutor’s experience and professional qualifications.
🖥️ What are private lessons like?
Private tuition for primary school students can be either face-to-face or online. In the case of in-person lessons, you can discuss with the primary school tutor whether it is more convenient for you to come to the tutor's home or to have the tutor come to your home. It is also possible to arrange lessons in a library or study room if this is more convenient for you. If you prefer online tuition, because of time or logistical constraints, your child can have online lessons from the comfort of their home.
Tips for finding the best primary school tutor
What is tuition and why does my child need it?
Tuition can help all primary school students. Tuition can consist of help with homework given by primary school teachers, exam preparation for the SATs or 11 plus, or an in-depth explanation of key concepts taught in class. It can be particularly beneficial for students who have difficulties doing their homework as a primary school tutor can help them find an effective study method that they can apply to all their current and future studies.
Primary school tuition: which children need help?
As previously mentioned, tuition is particularly important for children who are struggling at school. Many of these children need more support that group classes can provide, which is why one on one tuition is especially important.
However, primary school tuition is not limited to these students, it can be for any primary school child. Whether you want your child to learn a subject that is not taught in school, provide your child with the help they need to pass a particular exam or just reinforce what is being taught in school, a primary school tutor can help.
Benefits of hiring a primary school tutor
Here is a list of the main benefits of hiring a primary school tutor:
- Reinforce the school curriculum: School is an essential part of a child’s growth and development. Succeeding at school from an early age can shape a child’s future. Given that primary school teachers often have to deal with classes of up to as many as 30 children, it is often not possible for them to give your child the one to one attention that they need. Having a tutor for guidance is particularly important during the transition from primary to secondary school, exam time and the summer holidays.
- Effective study method: Many children struggle with studying on a daily basis and end up cramming days before an exam. This results in having to memorise too many concepts in a short space of time and also means that these concepts will likely not go into your child’s long-term memory. A tutor can not only help your child with homework and particular concepts, but also help your child to develop a much-needed study method. Establishing this from an early age will set your child up for success throughout their time in education.
- Personalised and supplementary materials: Similarly to before, a primary school tutor can recommend study materials based on your child’s needs and learning techniques. For example, if your child is a visual learner, the tutor may provide homework that includes videos, presentations and pictures.
- Optimise study time: Children spend many hours at school, so it is understandable that once they get home they want to get their homework out of the way as quickly as possible. Rushing homework certainly will not help them to do well in school. As we have seen, a tutor can help identify the most suitable study method for each individual, which means that it will also be possible to reduce the amount of time that needs to be spent on homework and revision each day.
- Building self-esteem: All too often, poor grades or difficulties in studying and concentrating become causes of low self-esteem from an early age. This triggers vicious cycles which, if not broken, can lead to students hating school and studying. If, on the other hand, the child is helped to cope with studying on a daily basis, through one on one tuition, they will see results and improvements, strengthening their self-confidence and laying the foundations for a more serene academic future.
