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!

Kathryn and Capital Tutoring services were recommended to us by friends of ours, and from our experience, I couldn't recommend Kath enough.The work that Kath has done with our daughter (7yrs) has made a huge difference in not only her reading & writing skills but the confidence to try and learn! When I first engaged Kath, we set up a call to discuss needs and outcomes. Kath took the time to really understand what we needed to focus on and offered advice and a plan of approach. She built rapport with our daughter immediately and we saw results from the first session. As a teacher herself she understood how to align her focus with the school's and was happy to provide updates that we could pass on to our daughters teacher. This ensured that there was consistency in what our daughter was learning. Very knowledgeable and experienced, Kath had all the tools that allowed her to customise the learning plan to suits our daughters needs. Our daughter is now more confident, she is reaching her personal goals in reading and writing and she's grown a stronger interest in literacy. It's very clear that Kath loves what she does, it shows in how she interacts with our daughter and most importantly how comfortable our daughter feels with her. A very customised, personal approach to tutoring, can't recommend Kath and Capital Tutoring Services enough - there should be 10 stars on this review!

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.

Kathryn from Capital Tutoring Services has made such a positive difference to my child's attitude towards maths and her performance. It is heartwarming to see my child look forward to her math's session with Kathryn each week and get more and more confident in her abilities. I would recommend Capital Tutoring Services to anyone looking to improve their child's academic confidence and performance. Thank you, Kathryn.

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 😊

Shirley

Kath has been tutoring my son to assist with a transition to a new school and has been a welcomed addition to his learning. She is a calming and patient educator and my son looks forwards to her lessons. Highly recommended!

Stephanie

We could not be happier with Kath, and are so grateful to have found her. It has been invaluable for our son (and a relief for us) for him to have 1:1 assistance from such an experienced teacher, and in a nurturing and fun environment. Our son actually looks forward to his tutoring sessions, which we were certainly not expecting. Thank you Kath!
