Primary Years · Grades 1–6

The foundation the IB Diploma will later assume.

IB PYP mathematics and science, taught in groups of five at our Kovan centre. Not homework help — the first principles that everything after Grade 7 is built on.

Why it matters

The gaps that surface at IGCSE were created years earlier.

By the time a student is losing marks in IGCSE Chemistry, the cause is usually not chemistry. It is arithmetic fluency, proportional reasoning or algebraic manipulation that was never properly bedded in.

PYP is inquiry-led and broad by design, which suits curious children and leaves some of them without the procedural fluency the later years quietly assume. We teach both — the reasoning the programme asks for, and the fluency it does not drill.

Small classes matter more here than anywhere. A confused nine-year-old rarely says so.

What we cover

Mathematics and science, Grades 1 to 6.

Questions

What parents ask.

Is this homework help?
No. Homework help fixes tonight’s worksheet. We build the underlying fluency so the worksheets stop being hard — which is slower in week one and considerably faster by month three.
My child is doing fine at school. Is there any point?
Often, yes — PYP reporting is deliberately broad and a child can be “meeting expectations” while carrying a specific gap. The free diagnostic will tell you either way, and we will say so if there is nothing to fix.
Do you teach Grades 1–6 online?
On request only. At this age, in person works considerably better, and our group classes are the Kovan centre.
