Primary School Grinds

Ireland's No. 1 Provider of Primary School Grinds

Primary school grinds are available to children from Senior Infants to 6th class in Reading/Literacy Support, Maths Tuition and Specialist Dyslexia Tuition.

Classes are delivered in-person by a fully qualified and experienced primary school tutor in Dooradoyle, Limerick. 

How It Works

In-person primary school grinds are available on a one-to-one basis or in small groups of 2-3 children.

Each programme is 16 weeks long and classes run for 1 hour on the same day and time each week.

Due to our flexible format, parents get to choose the day and time that suits them best – please submit an enquiry via the form below and we’ll be in touch with our availability.  

Typically, we cover ONE subject during each class, i.e. Reading OR Maths support. This is because children who have fallen behind in a given subject generally need the full class time (1 hour) to learn a new topic, concept or skill. 

If a child is within the average ability range and simply needs a boost in learning, it may be possible to cover two subjects during a single class. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis

What We Cover

Lessons are delivered according to the needs and abilities of each individual child. 

Reading/literacy tuition often includes instruction in phonics, decoding, fluency, comprehension, writing, creative writing, handwriting and spelling. 

Maths tuition often focuses on building foundational skills in areas such as multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages and problem solving. 

All of our classes are delivered using a variety of child-centred, multisensory activities and games to make the experience fun and enjoyable while developing key skills for academic success. 

Assessments can be given to identify primary learning needs. 

Specialist Dyslexia Tuition

For children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia or who have significant reading difficulties, we offer a specialist programme which uses the renowned Orton-Gillingham approach. This phonic-based multisensory approach, which is considered the gold-standard in literacy tuition and intervention, helps children to improve their reading, spelling and handwriting skills. 

Specialist Dyslexia Tuition is available to children from 1st to 6th class.

Each programme is 16 weeks long and classes run for 1 hour on the same day and time each week.

Note: these classes are not suitable for secondary school students.

What Parents Say

They are getting on great, we are delighted. Best decision we ever made, and I mean that. Killian is a new child, he’s super confident, he loves his words now and homework is so fast & easy & no rows. Killian adores Ciara. She gave him a level 3 book to practice at home & he does it every evening.

My son Jack started Maths grinds before Christmas and in just 16 weeks finished with a progression of 2 years - I couldn’t recommend Premier Tuition Centre and his tutor Ciara enough. Thanks for all your hard work - I’m one proud parent.

Thanks for all the help that Jack got off Emer and Premier Tuition Centre. I feel he has come on a lot and am hoping to continue at home but would not hesitate in contacting you again if he falls behind.

Since starting [Premier Tuition Centre], my son has immensely improved and recently scored a result that put him on par with his peers. I put this down to the small group sizes, the friendly patient staff and the willingness to work together…I would highly recommend Premier Tuition Centre for anyone who needs additional support with maths.

Marc has really enjoyed the Irish classes...He feels that he learned alot from the classes and I think it reinforced what he had covered in school. He came away from the course with more confidence than he had when he finished school...He found Ciara to be a very patient teacher.

I would highly recommend The Premier Tuition Centre. My daughter attended here for 8 weeks & she thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. She done the one to one tuition & she learned so much & seems so much more confident in herself. I will definitely be returning again in the future.

Google Review 2020

I can’t recommend Premier Tuition enough. With schools closed during lockdown and working from home I found it difficult to keep on top of home schooling with my 5 year old. I booked my daughter in for two 30 minute sessions a week. Clare the tutor was fantastic. Plus it gave me peace of mind knowing my daughter was getting that extra bit of help during lockdown.
