Our tutoring is built around the National Curriculum for England and the exam specifications your child’s school follows in Norwich. During your free consultation we review recent classwork, school targets and any mock papers so our local tutors can align lessons with what is being taught at school. For primary pupils we support reading, writing and maths in line with KS1 and KS2 expectations and SATs. For secondary we prepare students for GCSEs and A-Levels with a focus on the exact topics, assessment objectives and exam technique they need. Where relevant, we also support 11+ preparation in selective areas only. This local alignment is a key reason families choose tutoring in Bowthorpe with Tutor Doctor Norwich.

– Primary KS1 and KS2: phonics, reading, writing, spelling, grammar, maths

Yes. Many students we help have dyslexia, ADHD, autism, anxiety or other learning differences. Our local tutors adapt the pace, break tasks into manageable steps and use multi-sensory techniques to keep learning accessible and positive. For learners with English as an Additional Language, we focus on vocabulary, reading comprehension and the academic language needed for school success. Research across the UK shows that improving English proficiency is key to better outcomes for EAL pupils, so we weave language development into every lesson while covering the curriculum.

We start with a clear baseline and agreed goals. After each session you receive a written report covering objectives, what went well, suggested practice and next steps. We use past-paper style questions and short check-ins to measure understanding over time. You will also have regular catch-ups with the Tutor Doctor Norwich team to review progress and adjust the plan so it stays aligned to school targets and upcoming assessments.

We act quickly and focus on the gaps that move marks. Your tutor will:
– Analyse mock papers to spot priority topics and exam technique issues
– Build a clear revision plan from now to GCSEs, including half-term revision
– Teach the skills examiners reward, such as using mark schemes and command words
– Provide timed practice and feedback to build confidence under pressure
– Share weekly actions so effort stays targeted and consistent

There is still time to make a real difference in the months leading up to exams. Local families tell us the change in confidence is immediate. One Norwich grandparent said, “My granddaughter has gained more confidence in her ability… She is able to look to her upcoming GCSE exams with more determination and confidence.”

Safety is essential. Tutors we work with complete a multi-stage selection process that includes interviews, reference checks and an enhanced DBS check. They complete safeguarding training and follow our policies for in-home and online sessions. You also benefit from ongoing oversight and support from the Tutor Doctor Norwich team. We are proud members of The Tutors’ Association.
