Online and in person tutoring

[aliilwamra]

Hoping for some advice please

I would like to give my daughter (6 - Year 2) a little extra support with her maths and english. I've had a look at other threads but they look over 10 years old so just looking for some up to date advice.

I'm looking into Kumon/Explore/Kip Mgrath - can anyone advise if any of these are any good?

Additionally if anyone can advise any online platforms free or paid that would be worth it please? I've seen recommendations for MathsWhizz but they were recommended years ago - does anyone still recommend this or have any other suggestions?

Hiya, I don’t have kids myself but do nannying and the kids I nanny have tried Kumon before which has seemed effective. Sometimes it can be a bit full on though.

I teach exclusively online now and although I did accept children as young as your daughter during lockdown, I don't think they're the best candidates for online tuition (or by extension most online platforms). In my experience little ones get more out of physical lessons, whereas by Year 5 or 6 most do exceptionally well online. I'm not overly keen on the Kumon/Kip McG models. I think you're probably better getting a properly qualified and experienced tutor to come to your house and provide 1:1. Although the cost will be greater initially, you may find your daughter catches up quickly and so the financial outlay would be shorter-lived.
