Looking for tuition teachers experienced in preparing for Primary 1?

The jump from K2 to Primary 1 can feel big - more structure, longer hours, and faster lessons. Some children adjust easily, while others need a little extra help to build confidence before the real school journey begins. If your child

  • struggles with reading simple words or forming full sentences,
  • is still unsure with basic counting, addition, or number recognition,
  • finds it hard to sit still, focus, or follow multi-step instructions, or
  • needs more practice in writing, spelling, or classroom routines,

1-to-1 tuition before Primary 1 helps smooth the transition - building key academic skills while also developing independence, confidence, and readiness.


Start Tuition sources from more than 15000 teachers, ex-teachers, full-time tutors, undergraduate tutors to find someone who suits your requirements and budget. No obligations.

Tutor Thila is very patient and clear in her explanation. She also provided extra NT Math practice papers for my son to practice. Hopefully she can continue to keep up her good work and help my son.

Rachel is an excellent teacher. She did such a great job with explaining all the different components of the papers, the different types of questions he would have to tackle, and what examiners look out for. She was very clear in her teaching, and very warm + encouraging too. We also really appreciate her for staying on Zoom even beyond the agreed timing so that she could finish explaining some details!

Preparing for Primary 1 is quite common as some parents worry if their child has learnt enough in Kindergarten. These Primary 1 preparatory classes can help them transition more comfortably into Primary school. These should help your child feel less overwhelmed by the sudden big changes.

You can start these lessons anytime during K2.

What tutors do you have for Preschool students

We shortlist for you home tutors with background in teaching young children, including those with specialized early-childhood training and phonics teaching experience. Some of the preschool tuition teachers are also existing childcare teachers, kindergarten and nursery teachers and assistants with a passion to teach young children..

You can also opt for younger tutors like those studying in Polytechnic or University now, who will have a smaller age gap with your children.

Isn't it too early to have tuition?

While it's not always necessary for such classes, it can be very helpful if your child needs more time or attention than what a busy preschool class can offer.

Depending on your child’s age and needs: basic phonics, counting, letter tracing, storytelling, listening skills, and school readiness activities - all adapted to their level.

The goal is to build confidence, not cram information, in children, through fun, interactive and engaging classes.

How long should each lesson be?

Around 1 hour is common. Lessons are paced according to your child’s attention span and comfort. If the child is suitable, 1.5 hours classes are also possible.
