At Primary1st Tutoring we aim to help every child achieve their full potential.
What we do
We provide both one-to-one and group tutoring sessions for Primary School children aged 7-11. We tutor children who may be struggling or having difficulty in a specific topic and also those children preparing for the SEAG test. We help children grow in confidence in their ability and inspire them to learn.
Our Philosophy
We believe in the potential of ALL children.
Customised Learning - so each child achieves their goals
Learning in Small Groups - helps build trust and confidence

What You think of Us
Charlie
Aged 10
As a mother, I felt at my wits end as I couldn’t seem to help Charlie, and I knew he was behind in class. I spoke to James about some at home tutoring and I thought because of a possible dyscalculia diagnosis he might be reluctant but he was more than willing to help. This turned out to be the best decision I made! There are no longer avoidance tactics, tears and tantrums when the maths books appear.
Matthew
Aged 10
My son Matthew had a laissez faire attitude towards school work. James advised that he would be able to inspire him to work hard for the transfer test and within a week had Matthew doing homework and practice papers that he wouldn’t do for his teachers. Not only did James tutor him academically but he transformed his work ethic and instilled confidence in his capabilities.
Nathan
Aged 8
I highly recommend James. My 8 year old son, is thriving from the extra tuition. James has been successful in getting him to speed up with his work and also in building his confidence. The amount of work covered is impressive and my son's enthusiasm to return each week is certainly an added bonus.
