Expert 11+ & KS2 Online Tutoring in Kent

At Orchard Learning Academy, we believe every child deserves to feel confident, supported, and capable in their learning journey. Our goal is not only to improve academic skills, but also to help children develop resilience, independence, and a positive attitude towards learning that will support them far beyond the classroom.

Created with a personalised approach in mind, Orchard Learning Academy provides specialist, small group online tuition for children across Key Stage 2, with a strong focus on 11+ preparation, English, and Maths support.

We are based in Kent but support children across the UK.

With extensive primary teaching experience and a deep understanding of the KS2 curriculum, sessions are carefully planned to meet the individual needs of each child while creating an encouraging environment where children feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing in confidence

Meet Alex

My name is Alex, and I am a qualified primary school teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching KS1 and KS2.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children of all abilities, supporting them academically while helping them build the confidence and resilience needed to succeed.

Alongside extensive classroom teaching experience, I am also an experienced Key Stage 2 SATs marker, giving me valuable insight into national assessment expectations, marking standards, and the skills children need to succeed. This experience helps ensure sessions are carefully tailored to strengthen core English and Maths skills while building confidence and preparing children effectively for Year 6 and beyond.

Specialist 11+ Tuition Designed Around Your Child

Our Year 5 11+ programme is designed to help children gradually build the knowledge, confidence, and exam techniques needed to feel fully prepared for grammar school entrance exams.

The programme focuses on developing:

  • English skills

  • Maths fluency and reasoning

  • Verbal reasoning

  • Non-verbal reasoning

  • Vocabulary development

  • Problem-solving strategies

  • Exam confidence and technique

We understand that preparing for the 11+ can feel overwhelming for both children and parents. That is why our approach focuses on building secure foundations steadily over time in a supportive and manageable way.

Children are encouraged to develop confidence alongside academic ability, helping them feel calm, prepared, and motivated throughout their 11+ journey.

Year 4 KS2 English & Maths Support

Our Year 4 programme focuses on strengthening the core English and Maths skills children need to succeed in Upper Key Stage 2 and beyond.

Year 4 is an important stage for building secure foundations before the increased demands of Year 5, Year 6, SATs, and future 11+ preparation.

Sessions support children with:

  • Reading comprehension

  • Vocabulary development

  • Grammar and writing skills

  • Arithmetic fluency

  • Problem solving and reasoning

  • Mathematical confidence

  • Independent learning habits

Starting support early allows children to build confidence gradually and reduce pressure later in their learning journey.

Why Online Tutoring Works

Online tuition provides children with a flexible and comfortable learning environment where they can engage confidently from home.

Many children thrive online because they feel:

  • more relaxed

  • more willing to participate

  • comfortable asking questions

  • able to focus without classroom distractions

Our online lessons are interactive, engaging, and carefully structured to maintain concentration and participation throughout each session.

Children also benefit from additional online learning support, including tutor-created videos explaining key calculation methods, grammar concepts, and problem-solving strategies. These resources allow children to revisit learning independently and reinforce understanding between lessons.

Why Small Group Tuition Is So Effective

At Orchard Learning Academy, we intentionally keep groups small to ensure every child receives personalised support and opportunities to participate fully.

Small group tuition allows children to:

  • receive individual attention

  • build confidence gradually

  • engage in discussion and collaborative learning

  • ask questions comfortably

  • develop stronger communication skills

  • learn in a calm and supportive environment

Children benefit from the encouragement of shared learning while still receiving targeted support tailored to their individual needs.

What Is Included in the Monthly Package?

Our tutoring packages are carefully designed to provide excellent value while delivering high-quality personalised support.

Each monthly package includes:

  • Weekly 1-hour online tutoring sessions

  • Specialist English and Maths teaching

  • 11+ preparation where appropriate

  • Small group tuition for personalised learning

  • Carefully planned lesson resources

  • Interactive activities and problem-solving tasks

  • Access to tutor-created online learning videos

  • Guidance from an experienced primary teacher

  • A calm, engaging, and supportive learning environment

  • Regular feedback to parents explaining what your child has been learning and the progress they are making.

We believe effective tuition is about far more than worksheets and exam practice. It is about helping children feel motivated, capable, and proud of their progress.
