Personalised online tutoring for UK students
Every learner is different. Learning Loft matches each student with a tutor who understands their goals, exam board and learning style. Sessions are planned around the individual — whether that means building confidence in primary maths, mastering GCSE Physics, or refining A-Level essay technique. All tutoring is live, interactive and delivered through our secure LoftClass virtual classroom.
Why families choose Learning Loft
Learning Loft is a UK education platform built by qualified teachers. Our online tutoring service combines real classroom expertise with our purpose-built LoftClass virtual classroom — so every session feels like a focused 1-to-1 lesson, not a generic video call.
What Year 6 children need to know for KS2 SATs
In May, Year 6 pupils sit papers in English reading, grammar, punctuation and spelling (SPaG), maths arithmetic and two maths reasoning papers. Writing is assessed by the class teacher. Our KS2 SATs revision guide explains each paper and includes a simple four-week plan you can follow at home.
Where children usually lose marks
- Reading: inference and explanation questions, and running out of time on the third text.
- Arithmetic: slow times-table recall and careless slips with fractions and long multiplication.
- Reasoning: misreading the question, missing a unit conversion or skipping a step in multi-step problems.
- SPaG: not knowing the formal grammar terms the questions use.
How SATs tutoring helps
Your child's tutor starts by finding which of these is holding them back, then works on the underlying skill before moving on to exam-style practice and timing. Sessions cover KS2 maths and KS2 English, weighted towards whatever your child finds hardest. If your child is younger or needs broader support across Years 3 to 6, see our KS2 tutoring page.
How parents can help at home
- Read together most days and talk about why characters act as they do.
- Practise times tables little and often until recall is instant.
- Keep timed practice short — ten calm minutes beats an hour of stress.
- Protect sleep and breakfast during SATs week.

Online tutoring across the whole of the UK
Learning Loft is an online tutoring service, not a local agency, so where you live makes no difference to who teaches your child. We tutor families throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — city, town, coastal and rural — including families who have no suitable tutor within driving distance and families whose evenings are already full. There is no catchment area, no travel and no waiting list: your child logs in from home and works with the same qualified British teacher each week.
If you would like to see what tuition looks like in your own area, these pages cover local schools, exam boards and typical priorities:
Not listed? It changes nothing — lessons are online, so we teach anywhere in the UK. Tell us your child's year group and subject and we will match a teacher.
Qualified British teachers, wherever you live
Learning Loft is a UK company and every tutor is a qualified British teacher (QTS) or vetted subject specialist, DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained. Because lessons are taught online in LoftClass, families in the UK and internationally work with the same teachers: British-curriculum pupils at international schools, British families living abroad, home-educated private candidates, and children preparing to move into the UK school system. Lessons are scheduled in your local time zone and billed in GBP with no international surcharge. See international tutoring for more on how this works overseas, including tutoring for families in Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Spain.
Why LoftClass is not just another video call
Most online tutoring runs on general-purpose video software. Ours does not. LoftClass is Learning Loft's own virtual classroom, built for teaching: a shared interactive whiteboard, document and screen sharing that both teacher and pupil can annotate, live captions, breakout space and optional lesson recording so a pupil can re-watch the exact explanation they need later in the week. Nothing to install — a browser, a headset and a stable connection is enough.
