1st Grade Tutoring Online

Starting first grade is a big step—it’s when children begin developing the core skills that shape how they learn for years to come. At APLUS America, we understand that every child learns differently—especially in these important early years.

Whether they’re learning to read simple sentences, grasp basic math concepts, or build confidence with new skills, our 1st grade tutoring helps them move forward one step at a time, with the support they need to feel successful.

If your child needs extra help or is ready to get ahead, our 1st grade tutoring online is designed to make learning fun, clear, and perfectly paced for their needs.

What 1st Graders Often Struggle With (And How We Can Help)

First grade is where children begin to build upon the essential reading, writing, and math skills they’ll continue using and developing throughout their school years. It’s completely normal for some children to find this stage challenging—especially if they missed key foundations in kindergarten or simply need more time and practice to feel confident.

Common Learning Barriers for First Grade Students

Struggling students cannot understand what is being taught in class because their foundations are too weak. These students develop low self-esteem and can lose interest in learning - because it seems impossible to them.

Our personalized lesson plans identify the student’s knowledge gaps and take them through the lessons they need to do, in order to catch up. As their understanding and confidence improves, they will soon be ready to attempt what is being taught in school today. Just watch their confidence grow.

Clinical and Counselling Psychologist: "A lot of children start off school just as smart as any other - but for some reason they’re readiness isn’t available for them to learn something, and then they never get to catch up. They’re always feeling that they’re not good enough. They’re always feeling that the other kids are smarter than them and they need some special help. ...Each child who can interact with this program will get it for himself: It’s unique, individualized, special - and it works."
