My year 5 and Year 6 sessions run once a week during term time. These sessions are an hour and a quarter
long, with a maximum of 4 children and cost of £30 per session. Children attending will want to improve
their results in school or who have an intention of sitting selective school exams. All of the above subjects
will be taught for Year 5/6 children (1:1 sessions will be run at a cost of £35 per session). In the Spring term, I
will go through some SATs style questions to prepare them for their end of key stage SATs.
Reading:
The goal is to get them to start reading more carefully and retaining what they have read. I will focus on a
variety of reading and comprehension skills such as: word recognition and vocabulary work, retrieving
information from the chapters, drawing inference and deduction from the text read. Children may be given
chapters to take home and are expected to read independently or with an adult for which I will have
questions prepared at our next session. In addition, children will practise SATs style comprehension texts.
Writing:
I will support them in learning and improving their spelling and help them to use them in context. I will teach
them grammar and they will be able to use those skills in context of different genres of writing. Children will
learn how to construct simple, compound and complex sentences. They will be taught how to use
subordinate clauses, adverbial phrases and high-level punctuation to make their writing more interesting for
the readers. I will cover all the grammar required preparing them for their Year 6 SATs.
Maths:
I will assess them at the beginning of 6 weeks and set them targets to work on. Alternatively, parents can
advise me based on children’s school report or notes from their class teacher. Children will be taught a
variety of maths topics including number and algebra, shape and space, fractions and percentages and all
maths topics they are required to cover in KS2 curriculum. Also, children will practise arithmetic and
reasoning questions to prepare them for the end of year SATs.
