Tutoring for primary school students

Welcome to Capital Tutoring Services. Whatever your child's educational goals are, we can help.

About us What we offer

Individualised Tutoring

We offer individualised tutoring programs for primary school aged children based on their needs and learning strengths. We will take the time to get to know your child, assess your child's needs, plan an individualised program and teach according to their unique learning style.

School Readiness Program

At Capital Tutoring Services, we understand that the transition to school can be both exciting and daunting for children and parents alike.

Academic Foundation: We focus on building a strong foundation in early literacy, numeracy, and cognitive skills.
Social and Emotional Growth: Navigating a classroom requires effective social and emotional skills. Our program fosters qualities like communication, teamwork, empathy, and self-confidence, setting the stage for positive interactions with peers and teachers.
Critical Thinking: We encourage critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, nurturing your child's natural curiosity and helping them approach challenges with creativity and resilience.
Independence and Routine: We guide children in developing independence and adapting to structured routines, helping them transition from home to school life.
Communication Skills: Effective communication is key to success. Through interactive exercises, we help your child to express themselves clearly, listen actively, and engage confidently in discussions.
Play-based Learning: We believe that learning should be fun! Our play-based approach makes education enjoyable, encouraging your child to explore, discover, and learn through hands-on experiences.
Parent Engagement: We consider parents as valuable partners in a child's education journey. We provide insights, resources, and strategies to extend learning beyond the classroom, ensuring a strong support system at home.

Writing: We improve your child's writing skills in all genres using a range of strategies.

I am so grateful with all your help and encouragement for Ashley. As the term passes by she gets more improvement in her class and thats with your guidance. I can see she is more enthusiastic to learn as well! I guess she is ok and fine now as she was able to catch up with the class. I thank you so much for your time and effort, although I was not always there when you have lessons with her it makes a huge difference with her learning. All the best to you , you are full of kindness and patience 😊
