Year 1 Tutoring

Frequently asked questions

Are your tutors qualified?

Yes, all of our tutors are qualified and have been through a rigorous selection process, with excellent grades and above all, an ability to teach and communicate effectively. They also all hold valid Working With Children Checks.

What specific milestones should my child achieve by the end of Year 1, and how does your tutoring support these goals?

By the end of Year 1, students are typically expected to achieve key academic milestones in reading fluency, sentence writing, phonics awareness, and basic number sense including addition and subtraction. At Erudite Tuition, our personalised Year 1 tutoring aligns with the Australian Curriculum to ensure your child is confidently meeting—or exceeding—these targets. Our tutors provide structured, step-by-step support to strengthen core literacy and numeracy skills, laying a strong academic foundation for Year 2 and beyond.

How do you track and measure my child’s progress during Year 1 tutoring sessions?

We closely monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessments, observation, and feedback during each session. Tutors document learning outcomes, track mastery of key Year 1 concepts, and regularly communicate updates to parents. Our goal is to ensure your child’s academic growth is measurable, consistent, and tailored—making every session count. We use a blend of tutor evaluations and parent feedback to continuously adapt and optimise each student’s learning journey.

Are there any assessments or evaluations at the start to identify my child’s learning strengths and weaknesses?

Yes! Every students starts their first with the tutor comprehensively determining their strengths and weaknesses, designed to identify current abilities, strengths, and any gaps in foundational knowledge. This evaluation helps our experienced tutors create a customised learning plan that targets the specific areas your child needs to improve—whether in literacy, numeracy, or both. It’s a critical first step in delivering impactful, results-driven Year 1 tutoring that supports genuine progress.

How do you make sure that Year 1 tutoring sessions stay engaging and enjoyable for young learners?

Keeping young learners engaged is at the heart of what we do. Our Year 1 tutoring sessions incorporate fun, interactive activities, positive reinforcement, and age-appropriate learning tools to create a nurturing, stimulating environment. We use games, storytelling, and visual aids to turn every lesson into an enjoyable experience, fostering a genuine love of learning while building confidence in key academic areas.

Are there any additional resources or materials (e.g., workbooks or apps) that my child will use outside of the tutoring sessions?

Absolutely! To complement each session, our tutors have access to carefully selected educational resources, including printable Year 1 workbooks, online practice activities, and learning apps aligned with the Australian Curriculum. These tools help reinforce key concepts at home, ensuring continuous learning between tutoring sessions. Our tutors will determine the suitable content from our collection and provide it to your child as homework or exercises to be completed during class.
