Fourth Grade English Tutoring

In fourth grade, children build on what they already know and begin developing their English skills in a more structured way. Our online English tutor for 4th graders supports your child through this important shift, helping them grow in all areas of English, including reading comprehension, writing structure, and spelling accuracy.

If your child finds it hard to summarize, organize their ideas, or keep up with grammar rules, we’re here to help. We break concepts down step by step and give them the support they need to feel confident.

Why 4th-Grade English Can Feel Challenging

In Fourth grade, your child will begin to:

  • Compare themes, settings, and characters across texts
  • Summarise chapters using main ideas and supporting details
  • Write multi-paragraph responses with structure and evidence
  • Use grammar correctly and vary sentence typesApply spelling rules to multi-syllable words

Sometimes children miss a step along the way, and that’s completely okay. Personalized tutoring can make all the difference by filling in any gaps and giving your child the support they need to progress with confidence. Read More
