The #1 choice for year 1 tutoring

Your child will grow in confidence, do better at school and love the learning experience

Year 1 is a critical stage for every student. It sets the foundation that all subjects build on. It’s vital that the student understands the basic concepts taught at this level. Although many parents think it’s too early to hire a tutor for a 5–6-year-old child, we find that helping students at this level helps them develop a strong academic foundation that proves vital as they advance into more complex concepts. With our Year 1 tutors, your child will receive the guidance and support they need to give them the best start to their academic journey.

At Alchemy Tuition, we offer online tutoring for Year 1 students that is convenient and effective. Online tutoring provides a flexible option for the family to determine when they want to take the lessons. Although the tutor is not physically present, we have tools and features that ensure the tutoring sessions are interactive and engaging for the student.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When is the best time to start tutoring?

There is no better time than now! Tutoring isn’t just for those that are struggling – it also provides advanced students an opportunity to feel challenged and refine their skills. Having someone partner with you to bring out the best in your child is completely invaluable – and we recommend it at every age and level.

Does my child need a tutor?

Tutoring is for more than just those who struggle. In fact, you will usually find the students at the top of the class are there BECAUSE they have a tutor. Your tutor will become a partner in your child’s education journey, bridging the gap between home and the classroom. We believe every single student has something to gain from the support of an Alchemy tutor – and we know you will see this too.

Are there contracts or do I pay in advance?

No – there are no contracts and we are entirely pay as you go. We use an automated payment system that simply charges your debit or credit card 24 hours after each lesson occurs.

Will my tutor provide content and resources?

Yes – your tutor will have full access to our resource centre which contains thousands of worksheets, practice tests and text books. They will tailor every lesson around your child’s needs and design a unique program for them. To avoid waste we encourage our tutors to use digital worksheets so may bring a tablet or laptop – if you’d prefer to have them printed your tutor can send them to you ahead of a lesson for you to print at home.

How long does each lesson go for?

We leave this up to you to discuss with your tutor – but most of our students do between 1-2 hours per week. Our data shows that students see the most progress when they do a 1.5 hour lesson each week. There is no need to agree to a fixed session length – your tutor simply logs the length of session after each lesson occurs (with your prior agreement of course!).

Will my child have an assessment?

Yes. In the first lesson your tutor will deliver an assessment on your child, seeing where their strengths and weaknesses lie. After the session, your tutor will discuss their findings with you and send them through to you by email. From there, they will then develop a 10-week strategy to see your child reach their goals.

Why choose Alchemy over other options?

There are so many reasons, but the one thing we are most proud of is what makes us who we are. Alchemy is the medieval science of turning metals in to gold. It is the act of taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary – something our tutors do with our students every single day. The Alchemy difference is that we care about so much more than just marks. This resonates in everything we do – from the tutors we hire through to the lessons we plan. We want to see your child perform at their very best in all aspects of life – and not just in the classroom. It is this passion for so much more than just academic results that gives us the reputation we have – with thousands of verified 5-star reviews online.

How do you monitor progress?

We test students regularly to monitor improvements. The frequency of this will be up to your tutor, and you are welcome to discuss this with them in the first session to work out a testing cycle that is ideal for your child.

How often will lessons happen?

We recommend weekly sessions for every student. Consistency is so important in education, so irregular lessons may halt your child’s progress.

Is the first lesson a free trial lesson?

No – but it is covered by our first session 100% happiness guarantee. This means that if you are not 100% convinced the tutor we have lined up for you is the right tutor for your child, the session is on us and we can organise someone else that better suits your needs. If however you are happy to continue (and we are confident that you will be!) then we charge you for the first session when you submit payment details.

The Complete Guide to Tutoring in Year 1

At Alchemy Tuition, we work with students of all capabilities in Year 1. We understand that each student is different, and we always find you the perfect tutor to match the needs and preferences of the students. This gives them the best opportunity to succeed and a springboard that gives them an edge not only in Year 1 but going forward as well.

We have dedicated and qualified Year 1 tutors to help students with subjects like maths. Our tutors are hand-picked based on their academic excellence, personality and character. We interview, train and accredit the tutors and ensure they are safe to work with children before joining Alchemy Tuition.

Our qualified team of Year 1 tutors understands the importance of simplicity when tutoring students at this age. The tutors will break down the concepts in the simplest language, making it easier for the students to understand and master the concepts.

Finding the Right Year 1 Tutor

Wading through countless profiles and adverts to find the right tutor is a long, time-consuming process.

You are looking for a tutor that is:

  • Academically knowledgeable in the chosen subject
  • Able to communicate at the right level for the age of your child
  • Able to demonstrate experience in improving attainment
  • Working with Children certified
  • Able to provide all content and resources for lessons
  • Able to provide regular feedback
  • Local to you
  • An expert in the demands of the local education system

We have an easy-to-use and resourceful platform that will provide you with reliable and practical support during the tutoring lessons. Our online tutoring platform has all the necessary tools to support, enhance and ease communication between the students, teachers and parents.

The platform has all the necessary tools, including secure payment options that will allow you to make payments from the safety of your inbox.

In no time, your child will start sitting for the test, both internal and external. You don’t have to wait until it’s too late to find out if they have any challenges with taking tests. With our test preparation service, we can train the child on how to prepare for tests and take them the right way. This can reduce anxiety and help the student remain composed and perform better when taking exams. Whether you choose to have your Year 1 tutoring done at home or online, you’re assured of always enjoying the same excellent and hands-on experience.

 

Our Year 1 tutors will assess your child and create a learning plan

Convenience for the parent and the student is important to us. That is why we have a resourceful online portal that makes communication and tutoring easier and more effective. The innovative features and software on the portal make online tutoring impactful and add that personal touch.

For parents that prefer physical tutoring, we also offer in-home tutoring in some areas in Australia like Sydney, Melbourne and Gold Coast, which is just as impressive as our online tutoring.
