How tutoring works
A clear route from the first conversation to focused lessons
A useful plan links the confirmed test contract to present evidence and a realistic preparation timeline.
-
1
Confirm the test contract
Share the learner’s year group, school feedback, recent work and any access arrangements so priorities reflect the current KS2 programme and the child’s needs.

Diagnose by section
Use recent evidence to distinguish missing knowledge, reasoning errors, response control and timing.
-
3
Teach, model and practise
Make the reasoning visible, then reduce support as the learner makes more independent decisions.
-
4
Review and reprioritise
Use error patterns and confidence to select the next high-value lesson focus.
