Why Primary Tutoring?

 Why Primary Tutoring?

Tutoring can help young children in many ways, whether by boosting confidence, building core skills, or preparing for exams (e.g., SATs). At KS1 and KS2, the learners are expected to develop basic skills in a wide range of subjects. At Shalom Education, we primarily focus on teaching Mathematics and English. Our experienced tutors use their skills and strong subject knowledge to establish a secure foundation for learners. This way we ensure that they step into secondary school confidently and well prepared, well on their way to becoming  high achievers.

Oftentimes, poor GCSE results are due to a lack of a solid understanding of the basic principles taught in primary school. We aim to prepare each child to reach their full potential at every level of education.

We Make Learning More Efficient

Improving engagement is a key factor when tutoring at Key Stage 1 and 2. Therefore, we have integrated many features into our learning platform to make each lesson more unique. Some will involve a whiteboard and others will involve worksheets or homework annotations. We keep track of progress made alongside a description of students’ interactions and development in the lesson.

We’ve also implemented visual tools to encourage students to learn for longer. Students want to visualise their progress, so they know their hard work amounts to something. Our digital library allows learners to gain points, level up, and win badges by studying, completing quizzes, and exceeding milestones.
