Frequently asked questions
Can one tutor cover comprehension, composition and grammar?
Many Primary English tutors cover all major components, but parents should still ask which areas the tutor is strongest in.
Should a weak reader start with exam papers?
Usually, foundation work may be more valuable first. Repeated exam practice is less useful if vocabulary, reading fluency or comprehension fundamentals are still weak.
Can I request a bilingual tutor?
You may mention bilingual explanation as a preference in your request notes if this would help your child.
