Year 1 is an important stage in your child's English education. Children begin to develop greater independence as readers and writers while building on the phonics, vocabulary and language skills they have learned in Reception.
Lessons are adapted to your child's current ability, allowing us to focus on the areas where they need the most support. Whether your child needs additional practice or is ready for greater challenge, our Year 1 English tuition is tailored to help them make progress.
Every child learns differently. Some children may need extra support with reading and phonics, while others may be confident readers but struggle to organise their ideas when writing.
A Year 1 English tutor can provide focused, one-to-one support that complements what your child is learning at school. Our lessons are tailored to your child's individual needs, helping them develop essential English skills while building confidence and independence.
Phonics is a major part of English learning in Year 1. We can
help your child develop their ability to recognise sounds,
blend sounds together and decode unfamiliar words.
We can also support your child with reading fluency, vocabulary
and comprehension, helping them become more confident and
independent readers.
We encourage children to develop their own ideas and express
themselves through writing.
Lessons may involve writing sentences, descriptions, stories
and other creative activities while developing important skills
such as spelling, punctuation, vocabulary and sentence structure.
Year 1 children begin learning a range of common spelling patterns and high-frequency words. We use engaging activities to help children practise spelling and understand the relationship between sounds and letters.
Children begin developing an understanding of basic grammar
and punctuation during Year 1.
We can help your child practise skills such as using capital
letters and full stops, forming sentences and using different
types of words appropriately.
English isn't just about getting the right answer. We want
children to feel confident expressing their ideas, asking
questions and having a go when something feels difficult.
Our lessons provide encouragement and constructive feedback
so children can gradually become more independent learners.
Lessons are adapted to your child's individual ability, interests and goals.
Children can explore their imagination while developing practical writing and English skills.
Lessons take place online, allowing your child to learn from home without the need to travel.
Children are encouraged to experiment with their ideas, learn from mistakes and become more confident writers.
TicTuition combines creative writing with a strong understanding of English education and children's learning needs.
Online tutoring can be a convenient way to give your child additional English support from the comfort of home.
Your child can access their lessons without travelling to a tuition centre, while still receiving personalised support from an English tutor.

Lessons are typically 1 hour. However, arrangements can be made for longer lessons.
Face-to-face lessons are slightly more expensive than online lessons to account for travel and the additional time involved. We’ll always make sure you know the cost upfront before booking.
