Tuitioned Approaches to Teaching 1st Grade Students

We do not use a “one-size-fits-all” script. Every child learns differently, so every 1st grader gets their own personalized lesson plan.

Because primary school students learn best when they are having fun, we use play based and multisensory learning. This means your child will hear, see, and interact with their lessons.

Here are the specific teaching methods our certified teachers use to keep your child engaged:

  • The Science of Reading: We use trusted, evidence-based methods like explicit phonics and phonemic awareness to build strong readers.
  • Scaffolding & Support: We use scaffolding—this means we give your child a lot of help at first, and slowly let them do it on their own as they gain confidence.
  • Spaced Repetition & Positive Reinforcement: We revisit tricky topics over time to help them remember, and we constantly cheer them on!
  • Proven Philosophies: We pull the best ideas from the Montessori method and the Waldorf approach to support healthy learning.

The Interactive Tech Tuitioned Uses to Teach Kids

We use top-tier tools to make remote learning easy.

  • Voice-Based Tutoring: Kids this age are still learning to type, so our classes rely on talking, listening, and pointing!
  • The Best Tools: We use Zoom, a secure LMS (Learning Management System), and interactive screen sharing.
  • Interactive Learning Platforms: Your child will get to draw, interact, and play on digital whiteboards.
  • Session Recording: Every single class is recorded and saved for 30 days. If your child misses a detail, you can watch it again together!

How We Measure Progress

We want you to see exactly how much your child is improving. Our tutors do not use scary tests. Instead, they use gentle check-ins to measure a student’s progress.

  • Free Diagnostic Assessment: Before we start, we do a quick, fun check to see what your child already knows.
  • Formative Assessment: During every interactive session, our tutors quietly check your child’s understanding without them even knowing they are being tested.
  • Reading Benchmarks: We track reading growth using official, evidence-based metrics like DIBELS or Acadience Reading
  • Customized Worksheets: After class, we provide unique worksheets. These act as gentle practice tests to lock in what they just learned.
  • Parent Updates: You will receive regular progress tracking reports so you always know how your child is doing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Tuitioned teachers trained to work with5, 6 and 7-year-olds?

Yes! Teaching young children requires special skills. Our experienced 1st grade tutors have backgrounds in early elementary teaching and use a pediatric-friendly approach to keep young kids smiling and focused on the screen.

Because 1st graders have short attention spans, many parents love our 30-minute sessions. However, you can also book longer sessions or group classes if that works better for your child.
