online learning with tutor support

Struggling? Doing Ok? High Achiever?
We can help your child do better.

Second Grade English Tutoring

Second grade is a big step forward in your child’s learning. They begin to write with more detail, structure their thoughts clearly, and apply grammar rules more consistently. Our online English tutor for 2nd graders supports your child with personalized learning and helps them build confidence at their own pace.

We offer a personalized approach that covers all key areas of literacy, including reading, writing, and spelling - so your child feels supported at every stage.

Why 2nd-Grade English Can Feel Challenging

In second grade, your child is expected to:

  • Read with expression and understanding
  • Spell longer words using familiar patterns
  • Use capitalisation, commas, and apostrophes correctly
  • Write structured paragraphs with topic sentences
  • Understand parts of speech like nouns, verbs, and adjectives

These skills build quickly, and without the right support, gaps can form easily. That’s why early support matters. Read More

How APLUS America Builds Literacy Confidence

  • Getting Started with English: We begin by understanding your child’s current reading and writing abilities. Our tutors review their skills to identify where they’re confident and where they need more support. From there, we create a personalized Weekly Lesson Plan that targets the right areas, whether it’s phonics, grammar, comprehension, or essay writing, to help them progress with confidence.
  • Personalized Weekly Lesson Plan: Combines revision, consolidation, and extension tasks to support consistent progress at just the right level. Every Monday, your child receives an updated plan tailored to their needs, so they’re always working on what matters most.
  • Interactive Lessons and Games: Includes over 65 games and 1,500 step-by-step activities to keep your child motivated and confident. Each task is designed to be fun, clear, and easy to follow.
  • Tutor Support: Our 2nd grade English tutors go beyond just answering questions. They review your child’s progress each week, provide regular feedback, and are available to chat with parents to adjust the workload or approach as needed. When it comes to writing, your child can submit structured tasks for tutor review and receive detailed feedback to improve grammar, clarity, and structure.
  • Rewards That Motivate: Points earned through lessons and activities can be exchanged for real rewards like gift cards, giving your child an extra boost to stay engaged and keep making progress.
