SATs Maths preparation (KS1–KS2)
Patient one-to-one SATs preparation for primary students — arithmetic, reasoning, and confidence for KS1 and KS2 national tests.
Exam boards: KS1 SATs · KS2 SATs
SATs Maths tests assess arithmetic and reasoning at the end of KS1 (Year 2) and KS2 (Year 6). YFC tutors use calm, step-by-step methods that build confidence — not pressure — so primary students understand questions and show what they know on test day.
Lessons use short, focused practice matched to your child's year group. Tutors explain methods visually, revisit tricky topics like fractions or word problems, and introduce gentle timed practice only when your child is ready.
KS2 SATs Maths includes an arithmetic paper and two reasoning papers. KS1 papers are shorter and teacher-administered in many schools. Tutors align practice to the format your child's year group will see.

Common questions
Quick answers about this programme.
What age is SATs prep for?
Typically Year 2 (KS1) and Year 6 (KS2) — we match tutors to your child's year group and school timetable.
Is SATs prep stressful for children?
Our tutors use calm, step-by-step methods — building confidence without pressure. Sessions feel like helpful practice, not cramming.
Do you cover KS1 and KS2 SATs Maths?
Yes. Tell us your child's year group when booking — KS1 focuses on early number and reasoning; KS2 adds fractions, decimals, and multi-step problems.
Should SATs tutoring start months before tests?
Many families book from January in Year 6; others start earlier if specific gaps appear. Even a few weeks of one-to-one help can improve confidence.
Do tutors help with English SATs too?
Yes — YFC also offers English tuition covering reading, SPaG, and writing for primary students alongside Maths.
