Preschool Tutoring in Bali: Early Learning for KB to TK B

• Children aged 3 to 6 who need guided stimulation

  Children in KB, TK A, or TK B who need planned activities for language, numbers, and fine motor skills outside school hours.

• TK B children about to start primary school

  Extra work on pre-reading, writing their own name, and early counting, plus classroom habits such as following instructions and finishing a task.

• Children who learn more easily in a place they know

  Some children go quiet in a busy classroom. One-to-one learning at home helps them speak up and try things.

• Children with special learning needs

  Children who need an individual approach and a slower pace. Tell us about your child's condition during the consultation so the tutor we find is a good match.

• Working parents

  Families who cannot sit with their child to study every day and want a fixed schedule kept by someone else, with reports to read any time.

• International families in Bali

  Children who attend, or will attend, an English-medium school and need support with the alphabet, numbers, and basic vocabulary. Tell us the language of your child's school during the consultation.

1. Ages 3 to 4 · KB or Playgroup

   Colors, Shapes, Numbers 1 to 10, and Letters Through Song

   At this age children learn through their hands and ears. The tutor introduces colors and shapes using things around the house, numbers 1 to 10 by counting toys, and letters through songs. Coloring and cutting train finger muscles, while telling stories from picture books helps your child build sentences.

   A common mistake: your child can recite 1 to 10 like a song, yet when counting five marbles says seven. They have not yet matched one object to one number word. The tutor has them move objects into a bowl one at a time, saying each number. Many 3-year-olds still grip a crayon with a fist; the tutor uses short crayon pieces so your child has to hold them with the fingertips.

   • Basic colors and shapes
   • Counting objects up to 10
   • Learning letters through songs
   • Coloring and cutting straight lines
   • Telling stories from pictures

2. Ages 4 to 5 · TK A

   Syllables, Writing Letters and Numbers, Counting to 20

   TK A children begin reading simple syllables, writing letters and numbers, and counting to 20. Basic English comes in through the alphabet, colors, and numbers. The tutor also sets light puzzles, such as fitting picture pieces together or spotting the odd one out, to train your child's problem solving.

   A common mistake: b gets swapped with d, and 2, 3, or 5 are written backwards. This is normal at this age. The tutor trains writing direction with big movements first, such as writing in the air or in sand, then introduces b and d on different days. Another one: your child spells "be, a" and then gets stuck reading "ba". The tutor goes straight to syllable sounds (ba, bi, bu), so there are no letter names to translate.

   • Reading simple syllables
   • Writing letters and numbers
   • Counting to 20
   • The alphabet, colors, and numbers in English
   • Puzzles and picture-piece games

3. Ages 5 to 6 · TK B

   Short Sentences, Writing Their Name, and Grade 1 Habits

   In TK B children practice reading simple words and sentences, writing their name and short words, and basic arithmetic. Getting ready for primary school covers focus, following instructions, and independence. Basic English conversation comes through greetings, introductions, and guessing games.

   A common mistake: your child reads a sentence aloud smoothly but cannot say who was in the story they just read. The tutor stops on each page and asks about the story. When adding 5 plus 3, many children count again from 1. The tutor teaches them to start at 5 and count on three steps with fingers or a number line. For classroom habits, the tutor gives two- to three-step instructions and has your child put away their own pencils and books.

   • Reading simple words and sentences
   • Writing their name and short words
   • Basic addition and subtraction
   • Following step-by-step instructions
   • Simple English conversation

• Reading

  Letter sounds, syllables, then short words and sentences. Picture storybooks train your child to understand a story, guess what comes next, and retell it.

• Writing

  It starts with straight, slanted, and curved lines, then letters, numbers, and your child's own name. The tutor watches your child's pencil grip and posture.

• Counting

  Counting objects, comparing more and fewer, recognizing number symbols, then simple addition with fingers, buttons, or a number line.

• Basic English

  The alphabet, colors, numbers, names of things around the house, and everyday greetings. Songs and guess-the-object games make children brave enough to say new words.

• Creativity and Art

  Coloring, finger painting, gluing, and shaping play dough. Your child talks about each piece of work, so art time also trains language.

• Problem Solving

  Puzzles, finding color patterns, ordering objects from small to large, and spotting the object that does not belong in a group.

• Social and Emotional Skills

  Waiting for a turn, asking for help and saying thank you, naming their own feelings, and finishing an activity even after getting upset.

• Fine Motor Skills

  Cutting, threading large beads, picking things up with clothes pegs, tearing paper, and tracing lines. Strong finger muscles make writing easier in primary school.

• Primary School Readiness

  Finishing one task while seated, listening to instructions, raising a hand before speaking, and tidying up their own things.

For KB children, there is more moving and singing. For TK B children, the share of reading and writing is larger. Session length is chosen during the consultation: 60, 90, or 120 minutes.

• 01

  Learning Through Play

  Educational games, songs, and hands-on activities are the way into the material. For example, letter cards are hidden around the room, and your child reads each one on finding it.

• 02

  Safety Comes First

  In the early sessions, the tutor spends more time playing and chatting than teaching. A child who feels close to the tutor tries more and fears mistakes less.

• 03

  Targets That Match the Stage of Development

  A 3-year-old is not asked to write letters, and a child who is not ready to read sentences is not pushed. Every child has their own pace, and targets come from the tutor's observations.

• 04

  Praise That Names the Effort

  The tutor praises something specific, such as "you counted slowly all the way to the end just now", then gives a sticker or a small star. Your child learns which behavior is valued.

The tutor's regular report records progress in each period, along with ideas for light activities at home.

• Use the same learning corner every session

  A well-lit mat or low table, away from the television and current favorite toys, so your child knows where learning time happens.

• Prepare basic supplies

  Large crayons, pencils, round-tipped children's scissors, play dough, paper, glue, and a few picture storybooks. The tutor can share a list of extra items after the first session.

• Pick a time outside nap hours

  A child who is sleepy or hungry is hard to engage. The hour after an afternoon nap, or a weekend morning, is usually calmer.

• Stay with your child in the early sessions

  Your presence in the first few sessions helps your child feel safe. Once they are used to the tutor, you can be in another room.

• Tell the tutor about your child's habits and needs

  Allergies, particular fears, a pet name, a favorite song, or what sets off a tantrum all help the tutor connect with your child faster.

• Put devices away during the session

  A phone or tablet in sight pulls your child's attention away. Keep them out of reach until the session ends.

• Note ceremonies and family holidays

  Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi, or a family ceremony in Bali can clash with the schedule. Let the tutor know early so the session can move to another day.

• Carry on the light activities from the report

  Ideas in the tutor's report, such as reading one picture book before bed or counting plates at mealtimes, carry lesson practice into days without a session.
