Tutoring session options

At Capital Tutoring Services, we offer a diverse range of tutoring options to cater to every student's unique needs and learning preferences. Whether your child thrives in one-on-one settings, prefers the benefits of semi-private tutoring with a partner, or enjoys the dynamic interaction of small group sessions with up to four students, our expert tutors are here to help your child achieve their academic goals. With our flexible approach, you can find the perfect learning environment that suits your child’s individual learning style and ensures their success.

One on one tutoring

This is a private session where your child works one on one with our fully qualified teacher across a range of curriculum subjects. The lessons will be tailored specifically for your child's needs and focus on individual learning goals.

Semi-private tutoring sessions

We also offer semi-private tutoring programs for two students where your child shares the learning experience with another child who has similar learning goals. Semi-private tutoring with just two students still offers personalised attention, tailored learning, and effective collaboration, ensuring accelerated progress and academic success.

Small group tutoring

Small group tutoring can cater for up to four students per group who have similar learning goals. Small group tutoring fosters a supportive, interactive learning environment that promotes active engagement, peer learning, and individualised guidance for academic goals.

Testimonials

Our success story!

Capital Tutoring Services have been providing tutoring services to my daughter Lily for the past 8 weeks, Lily is 7 years old and in year 1 at school. Before engaging Capital Tutoring Services we tried reading with Lily each night and going through sight words but we just couldn't seem to help Lily get on top of it all. We started noticing that she was falling behind her class in both reading and writing and losing her confidence. We enagaged Capital Turoring Services and have noticed a huge improvement in both in Lily's reading and writing skills, she has now gained back her confidence and happily reads with us each night. Every week she looks forward to her tutoring sessions and we are loving the progress. If you are looking for a local tutoring service for primary school aged children, I would highly recommend Kathryn and the team at Capital Tutoring Services.

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 😊
