I’m a medical student with a passion for teaching Biology, Science, and Maths at primary and GCSE levels. Almost 10 years in higher education, I’ve learned two key things: 1) Every student can succeed with the right teaching approach, and 2) Learning should be active, using techniques like spaced repetition and active recall. I focus on breaking down complex topics, using examples, mnemonics, and past papers to help students understand. I’m patient and adaptable, always ready to find new ways to explain concepts if needed. Outside of academics, I’m passionate about sports, gaming, and tech. I’ve coached an under-15 basketball team and teach guitar at my church, which helps me connect with students and build trust to boost their confidence and performance.

I am an English Literature graduate from the University of Birmingham. I really enjoy English and it can be a really fun subject to learn as well as teach. I found that at school my teachers made the subject enjoyable, so much so that I got a grade 9 in my English Literature GCSE and a grade 8 in English Language as well as a grade A in my English Literature A-level and a 2:1 in my English Literature degree. Therefore, I aim to help students improve their grades by making learning enjoyable because when something is difficult to learn it can be difficult to want to understand and persevere. As a tutor, it is important to understand areas of struggle and help to adapt them in a way more accessible to the student.

Hello! My name is Katie and I’m a third year student at Nottingham Trent University studying Primary Education. I have always enjoyed learning and helping others. I have experience working with children with a range of SEN through my time on placement in primary schools. The desire to become a primary school teacher has been fostered within me by my own educators as I have been told I have a good affinity with children. Whilst on placement I have worked and taught in a range of age groups from reception to year 6. I enjoy teaching each and every one! In my free time I like going for beach walks as I live on the coast and spending time with my family and friends. I also adore travelling and visiting new places and cultures.

My son doesn't learn easily but his tutor tailored learning to get his best results. Patient, caring and excellent standard of teaching. I've read on another review that they had trouble contacting the customer service team. Our company contact could not have been more helpful and accommodating for us. Things must have improved enormously as we cannot praise the tutor or company contact more highly. Thank you.

Amazing and dedicated. Cheyenne wastes no time and gets to work, ensuring she is prepared for both my daughters' subjects. Both my daughters enjoy studying with her, and both have significantly benefitted - getting their grades up. And Cheyenne could easily switch from Maths to Economics when needed. I am very grateful the first tutor we encountered has been able to stay with my daughters - we are in our second year now.

How tutoring at Key Stage 1 can benefit your child
What is Key Stage 1?
Key Stage 1 (KS1) is the name given to Year 1 and Year 2 at primary schools, when pupils are aged between 5 and 7. It sets out which subjects must be taught as part of the national curriculum, which is followed by state schools.
Your child may be tested on what they have learned at the end of KS1. These assessments are known as SATs (which stands for ‘Standardised Assessment Tests’). They are not pass/fail tests but simply provide an indication of your child’s progress. It is not compulsory for schools to take the SATs in KS1.
What are the main subjects studied at Key Stage 1?
The KS1 curriculum is designed to introduce children to the core subjects they will learn throughout their school career.
The subjects are:
- English
- Maths
- Science
- Design and technology
- History
- Geography
- Art and design
- Music
- Physical education (PE)
- Computing
Religious Education (RE) is also taught, but parents can choose for their children to opt out of some or all the lessons. Schools usually also teach Personal, Social and Health Dducation (PSHE), citizenship and modern foreign languages.
How is Key Stage 1 assessed?
Children undertake a phonics screening check at the end of Year 1, which evaluates their reading and pronunciation skills.
Schools who do not take the SATs will use their own assessment systems to track the progress children in their school are making.
If your school takes the SATs, the subjects are:
- English reading (comprehension)
- English grammar, punctuation, and spelling
- Mathematics (basic arithmetic)
The focus of Key Stage 1
KS1 is where a child begins to develop their skills and understanding in the key subjects taught in the curriculum.
Speaking, reading and writing are considered core skills as mastery of the English language is central to developing an understanding in all subjects.
In KS1 maths, children to begin to understand mathematical language, understand the fundamentals and begin to solve problems by applying this knowledge.
In addition, teaching children about healthy habits and different belief systems can help them become well-rounded individuals who understand the world around them.
How to choose a Key Stage 1 tutor
Children are all different and progress at different rates. Some will need extra support in building core skills or improving confidence, and others may need more of a challenge to keep them engaged. Either way, lessons need to be personalised to meet their individual needs.
It’s also important to choose a tutor with experience in the KS1 curriculum and who understands how important it is to make learning fun.
