Our Second Level tutoring is built around Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence, focusing on helping students master core skills while encouraging curiosity, independence, and resilience in learning.

1. Reading and Comprehension

   We help students develop deeper understanding of texts, learn to identify themes, summarise effectively, and analyse vocabulary in context — all while encouraging regular, independent reading.

2. Writing Skills

   From sentence construction to structured paragraphs and creative storytelling, we support children in developing clear, expressive writing. We also focus on grammar, punctuation, and spelling accuracy.

3. Numeracy and Mental Maths

   We strengthen number sense through work on place value, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals. Our sessions also focus on strategies for solving word problems and real-world maths.

4. Measurement, Time and Money

   We guide learners through practical topics like length, area, weight, time, and budgeting — helping them understand how maths applies beyond the classroom.

5. Shape, Position and Movement

   Lessons include identifying shapes, working with symmetry and angles, and using coordinates — essential concepts for building spatial awareness and logical thinking.

6. Talking, Listening, and Critical Thinking

   Children are encouraged to express their opinions clearly, listen actively, and engage in discussions. These sessions build confidence in communication and reasoning.

7. Preparing for Secondary School

   We support students with essential academic habits such as note-taking, time management, and tackling unfamiliar tasks — skills that ensure a smooth transition to S1 and beyond.

Success at the Second Level isn’t just about completing tasks — it’s about building the confidence to try, the resilience to persist, and the independence to manage learning.

At Jayas Academy, we help children take ownership of their progress through structured sessions, positive feedback, and practical learning strategies. Our goal is to turn uncertainty into clarity — and effort into achievement.

The skills your child builds in the Second Level shape their readiness for the next stage of education. A solid grasp of core literacy and numeracy gives them the tools they need to thrive in subjects across the board — from science and maths to English and social studies.

At Jayas Academy, we’re committed to helping your child enter secondary school with confidence, strong academic habits, and the ability to tackle new challenges with ease.
