KS1 ICT tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching ICT at KS1.
ICT as a discrete qualification has largely been replaced by Computer Science at GCSE and A-level, but it still appears at KS3, in BTEC and Cambridge Nationals routes, and in adult and Functional Skills contexts. Content is more applied than CS — spreadsheets, databases, project work, digital literacy — and assessment leans on coursework and scenario tasks. Tutoring helps most with the structured project work and with the digital-literacy gap older students sometimes carry. For students mid-stream in legacy ICT specs, check the awarding body (Cambridge Nationals, BTEC, OCR) and the cohort year, as content has shifted repeatedly.
Key Stage 1 covers Years 1 and 2 (ages 5-7), ending with the Year 2 SATs and the Year 1 phonics screening check. Core focus is reading fluency, phonics, basic arithmetic, and the foundations of writing. Tutoring at KS1 is uncommon but earns its keep where reading hasn't clicked — phonics gaps that don't close in school tend to widen — and for early-maths confidence. The Year 2 SATs are now teacher-assessed rather than externally graded, so the stakes are low; the underlying fluency they measure is what matters. Look for tutors trained in synthetic phonics rather than generalists comfortable with primary-age children.
