Back to School with LS Tuition

Author: LS Tuition

With the new school year underway, children across Scotland are starting or returning back to school with freshly pressed shirts, brand new pencil cases, and heads full of dreams. But for parents, wrapped up in the excitement of the start of the new term and hoping this will be the year their child thrives, there are often underlying worries. Will my child keep up? Will they feel confident in the classroom? Will they fit in? Will they actually enjoy learning?


At LS Tuition, our tailored, holistic approach has helped children across Edinburgh and beyond succeed in school and fall in love with learning. We believe the back to school season is the perfect opportunity to set them up for their best year yet.

Learning How to Thrive

Whether your child is starting Primary 1, or they’re preparing for the end of their time at primary school, the dedicated tutors at LS Tuition can help them build skills, develop newfound confidence, and rediscover their joy of learning so they thrive in the classroom.


“We have had a wonderful experience at LS Tuition. Sabrina has been amazing with our child, whose confidence with learning has developed hugely since starting lessons. I could see the progress made after just one lesson”


Holistic Tutoring for Edinburgh Families

Supporting children in mainstream education, private school, home education, and even families experiencing school avoidance and school refusal, LS Tuition offers tutoring that Edinburgh families can trust. What we do goes beyond worksheets and test preparation – we combine proven academic support with a holistic development approach. We cater to the whole child, with an understanding that learning is about more than scoring top marks. Our methods help foster curiosity, resilience, self-esteem and through celebrating every small win, the confidence to tackle new learning challenges.


And, since it’s the start of a new school year (and we all love that new bag and pencil case feeling!), new and established learners with LS Tuition are enjoying their Welcome Packs, full of useful tools – a filled pencil case, water bottle, and tote bag, along with parent information leaflets and information about LS Tuition.


Want to chat about how we can support your child’s learning? You can book an enquiry call, free of charge, so we can chat through your child’s needs and how LS Tuition can help.


Personalised Tutoring in Edinburgh

We believe every child deserves a learning experience tailored to who they are. That’s why each of our learners receives a personalised learning plan, which identifies their strengths and areas for improvement, whether that’s numeracy, literacy, handwriting, independent thinking or simply being able to step foot into a learning environment.


Because everything we do is individually tailored, our Edinburgh tutoring service provides specialist support for every child, including children who are autistic, or who have ADHD or dyslexia.


“My son has dyslexia and struggles at school. LS tutoring has stripped his learning down to the main issues and is supporting him to learn each step at his own pace. My son now actually enjoys and looks forward to his lessons and has developed more confidence in his school classroom. Just an hour a week and I can see a difference in my son”

The start of the school year, or even the start of every school day, isn’t easy for everyone. Some children are struggling with overwhelm, sensory concerns, academic worries and social anxiety, which can lead to school avoidance. We’re seeing more and more of this at LS Tuition. If your child is experiencing school avoidance, know that you’re not alone. We create a safe and supportive environment that helps children rebuild trust in learning. We offer staggered starts along with small, achievable learning steps and positive reinforcement to help children rediscover their confidence and re-engage with school life.

Parents are Part of the Learning Process

Regular check-ins and communication with parents, along with practical strategies for reading support, study skills and numeracy at home, echoes our holistic, whole-child approach. We understand that learning cannot be one-size-fits-all. That’s why we provide personalised learning plans, which are regularly updated and focus on the support your child needs.

We stay in touch with parents – we know that the most effective learning happens when everyone is working towards the same goals. You’ll know what your child has been focusing on, and be able to bring that learning home with tips and strategies to help your learner get the most out of their time with LS Tuition. We’ll share your child’s small wins and progress to understand how our carefully planned approach can lead to big wins.


“My son has benefited greatly from the tuition he receives at LS Tuition. His confidence has grown, and we’ve seen clear progress in both his reading and writing skills. He is now more engaged with reading, shows better comprehension, and his writing has become more structured and expressive”

Evidence-Based Learning, Real World Results

Our evidence-based methods are adapted to suit all learners, including multi-sensory techniques, which can be particularly helpful for neurodivergent children. As part of our personalised tutoring, our tutors carefully compose learning plans that cater to each child’s hobbies and special interests, making learning more relatable and fun.


Everything we offer is adapted in real-time to suit the child’s energy levels, mood and level of focus, because we know that by following each child’s lead we gain the best results. Our approach uses scaffolding, which means we break learning tasks into manageable steps so we can help build confidence and celebrate success at every stage of the process, to keep our learners motivated and feeling positive about literacy, numeracy and other core subjects. It sounds like the perfect start to the new school year, right?


If you’re interested in learning more about how LS Tuition can foster a lifelong love of learning for your child in our purpose-designed learning space, book an enquiry call now. It’s free of charge and could be the first step towards transforming this school year for your child.

Most importantly, they enjoy the process.
