Jennifer Reid is a qualified primary teacher and experienced private tutor based in York, offering personalised one-to-one tuition for primary-aged children. With a strong understanding of how children learn, I provide supportive and engaging lessons tailored to each child's individual needs, abilities and learning goals.
I offer tuition in primary English and maths, Year 6 SATs preparation, 11+ preparation, and primary French and Spanish. Whether your child needs support to fill gaps, build confidence, prepare for an assessment or extend their learning, lessons are carefully tailored to help them make progress and enjoy learning.
Build confidence: Support with areas of English or maths where your child may have gaps or need extra practice.
Strengthen understanding: Personalised support to develop knowledge, skills and confidence.
Prepare for Year 6 SATs and the 11+: Focused tuition to strengthen key skills and help children approach assessments positively.
Provide extra challenge: Extension activities for children who are progressing well and would benefit from being stretched further.
Make learning enjoyable: Engaging lessons designed to create positive learning experiences and encourage children to feel more confident about their learning.
Primary French and Spanish: Personalised language tuition to develop vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
Each session is tailored to the child’s age, ability and individual learning needs.
We begin with a short warm-up activity, revisiting key skills and building confidence in the fundamentals. We then focus on the child’s current area of learning, introducing and explaining new concepts in a clear and accessible way.
Children are encouraged to work through examples with guidance before gradually moving towards independent practice. This gives them the opportunity to apply what they have learned and develop greater confidence in their own ability.
Throughout the session, we review understanding, celebrate progress and provide gentle feedback, helping children recognise what they are doing well and where they can improve.
Primary tuition can support children in a range of different situations. It can provide extra help where a child is finding a particular area difficult, or offer additional challenge for children who are ready to extend their learning.
Building confidence: Support with areas of English or maths where your child may have gaps or need extra practice.
Preparing for SATs: Focused Year 6 tuition to strengthen key skills and help children approach their SATs with greater confidence.
11+ preparation: Support with the skills and confidence needed for entrance assessments.
Extra challenge: Extension activities for children who are progressing well and would benefit from being stretched further.
Primary French and Spanish: Personalised language tuition to develop vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
Every child is different, so tuition is tailored to their individual needs, age, ability and goals.
