Primary School Tutors

Our primary school tutoring is designed for students aged approximately 5 to 11 years old, covering early years through to the end of primary school. We support pupils in the Swiss Romande (PER), British, French and international curricula, helping them build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and other core subjects. Whether your child is just starting to read or preparing for school transitions, we offer targeted and age-appropriate support.

We offer support across all key subjects taught at primary level, including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian (reading, writing, grammar), Mathematics, and Science. In addition, we help children improve study skills, organisation, and confidence. Sessions are fully adapted to meet your child’s curriculum and personal learning goals, whether they attend a local school or an international one.

Every child learns differently. Our tutors use a child-centred approach, adapting their teaching methods to fit visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning preferences. We incorporate games, storytelling, hands-on tasks, and interactive activities that engage children and make learning fun. Lessons are paced appropriately, encouraging curiosity and building self-esteem.

Absolutely. Many families turn to TutorsPlus when their child needs extra help catching up in a particular subject or overcoming learning challenges. Our tutors provide one-on-one attention, identify knowledge gaps, and create a structured plan to help your child progress at their own pace. This kind of personalised support often leads to significant improvements in both skills and confidence.

Yes. We support not only children who need help catching up but also those who are working above their year level or seeking additional academic challenges. Our tutors extend and enrich learning through problem-solving, critical thinking activities, and advanced reading or maths content, helping high-achieving students stay engaged and motivated.

TutorsPlus offers both in-person tutoring in Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, and Basel, as well as online lessons for families seeking flexible scheduling or living outside these areas. In-person sessions can take place at your home or another convenient location. For online lessons, we use interactive tools and visual aids to keep younger learners engaged and focused.

The frequency of tutoring depends on your child’s goals and needs. Most families start with one or two sessions per week, which provides enough continuity for progress without overwhelming young learners. For exam preparation, school transitions, or bilingual support, more frequent lessons may be beneficial. We offer flexible scheduling to suit your family’s routine.

Yes. All our primary tutors are qualified educators, many of whom have experience teaching in international or bilingual schools. They are trained to work with children of all abilities and have a deep understanding of age-appropriate pedagogy. Our tutors also undergo a thorough vetting process, including reference and background checks.

Yes. TutorsPlus is uniquely positioned to support students enrolled in English-speaking, bilingual, or international school systems. We understand the demands of these curricula and tailor lessons accordingly, whether your child follows the UK National Curriculum, the IB PYP, or another international program. We also provide language support for children learning in a second or third language.

The 11+ is an entrance exam used by some UK grammar schools and independent schools to assess students. Often it is referred to as the common entrance exam. Typically students take this test in Year 5 or Year 6 (ages 9–11). It often includes subjects such as English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Our experienced tutors provide tailored support to help students build confidence, strengthen core skills, and become familiar with the exam format through practice and targeted feedback. Lessons can be arranged online or in person, depending on your location.

It’s easy to begin. Contact us via our website or by phone to discuss your child’s learning needs, school background, and schedule. We will match you with a specialist primary tutor who fits your child’s personality and academic goals. You can start with a trial lesson, and we’ll work with you to build a regular tutoring plan that suits your family.
