Primary tutoring

At primary level the goal is rarely a grade. It is a child who is not anxious about maths, and who arrives at secondary school able to keep up with the pace.

Who this is for

  • KS2 children in years 3 to 6
  • Children who have lost confidence in maths
  • Children preparing for KS2 SATs
  • Children about to move to secondary school who want a running start

What we cover

  • Number fluency — times tables, mental arithmetic, place value
  • Fractions, decimals and percentages
  • Problem solving and multi-step word problems
  • Reading comprehension and inference
  • Writing structure, punctuation and grammar
  • Confidence, which at this age is the thing that actually moves attainment

Where marks actually go

The same few things cost most students most of their marks. These are the ones we attack first.

Shaky number facts

Slow recall of times tables makes everything built on top of it feel hard. It is worth fixing directly.

Word problems

Children who can do the calculation often cannot find it inside a sentence. That is a separate, teachable skill.

Maths anxiety

Once a child decides they are bad at maths, they stop trying and the belief confirms itself. Small early wins break it.

Reading without absorbing

Decoding fluently is not the same as understanding. Comprehension needs its own practice.

Exam technique

Sessions are shorter in feel and more varied than GCSE lessons, because attention is the limiting factor. Parents get the same written summary after every lesson, so you know what was covered and what to reinforce.

Exam boards

No exam board. We work from your child’s school curriculum, and towards KS2 SATs where relevant.

Sameen founded Yunalo after he began tutoring other students during his own GCSEs. He still teaches, and he set up the way Yunalo runs — lessons written up the same day, homework tracked, progress visible to parents rather than taken on trust.

How lessons are tracked

Written up the same day

Every lesson is written up the same day. You get what we covered, what went well, and the specific thing to work on next — not a tick in a box.

Everything in one portal

Homework, lesson write-ups, past-paper scores and invoices all live in a private portal. You sign in and see the whole history, rather than hunting through messages.

Zoom, or at home in West Hampstead

Online lessons take place on Zoom, using shared whiteboards or presentations where helpful. Home-based lessons are available within West Hampstead only, by arrangement and subject to tutor availability.

Parents welcome

Parents are welcome to sit in on any lesson, with no notice.
