Face To Face Tuition for students

Customised Lessons by Experienced Specialist Tutors

In person, one-to-one tuition is a highly effective way for students to learn and achieve their academic goals.

How Can My Tutor Help? The benefits of face-to-face tuition

As a parent, you want the best for your child’s education. Sometimes, classroom teaching alone isn’t enough to give them the confidence and skills they need to excel. That’s where a private face-to-face tutor can make a real difference.

Personalised Support for Your Child

Every child learns differently. A private tutor can provide individual attention, identifying your child’s strengths and areas for improvement. Lessons are tailored to their needs, which is especially helpful for children with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, or for those struggling in certain subjects. Unlike group settings, one-to-one tuition ensures that your child never gets left behind.

Immediate Feedback and Better Understanding

With face-to-face tuition, your child benefits from instant feedback and guidance. A tutor can quickly correct mistakes, answer questions, and explain difficult concepts in a way that makes sense to them. This hands-on approach helps students to retain knowledge more effectively and build confidence in their abilities.

Building Motivation and Accountability

Many parents worry about their child’s motivation. Working with a tutor helps students stay focused and on track, as they feel accountable not only to themselves but also to their tutor. This supportive relationship can inspire a genuine love of learning while boosting their long-term academic success.

Engaging Lessons Through Interaction

Face-to-face tuition encourages discussion and active participation. This level of engagement makes lessons more enjoyable and helps your child to truly understand the material, rather than just memorising it.

Flexible and Convenient Scheduling

Every family’s schedule is different. Private tutors offer flexibility, with lessons available after school, in the evenings, on weekends, or even during school holidays. This makes it easy to fit tuition into your child’s routine without disrupting other commitments.

About Our Private Tutors.

Our tutors are experienced professionals, qualified to degree level or higher. Many also hold additional specialist teaching qualifications, including BEd, PGCE, and TESOL, and a significant number are fully qualified teachers or established experts within their respective fields.

Each tutor undergoes vetting before joining our service. This includes an Enhanced DBS check for Child Workforce and professional reference verification. Tutors’ profiles are approved only once these standards are met, and their status is subject to ongoing monitoring to ensure continued quality.

We provide flexible tuition options to accommodate individual preferences and requirements. Clients may choose between in-person tuition delivered at home, one-to-one online sessions, or, where available, a combination of both.

The benefits of private tuition are widely recognised. By tailoring lessons to the precise needs of each learner, our tutors are able to offer targeted support across a broad range of core subjects. This includes preparation and revision for examinations, resit support, catch-up and booster sessions, and comprehensive assistance for homeschooling.
