We start with a free consultation in your home or online. We listen to your child’s goals, look at any recent school feedback or mock results, and agree clear targets. We then hand-pick one of our local tutors who matches your child’s personality, learning style, and subject needs. Lessons take place at home in Orton Longueville or online at times that suit your family. After every session you receive a written report so you can see what was covered, how your child is progressing, and what comes next. We review the plan regularly so that support stays aligned to the school curriculum and any upcoming assessments or exams.

Yes. Our local tutors teach to the National Curriculum for England and align sessions with what your child is learning at school. For Year 6 we prepare pupils for SATs reading, maths, and grammar question styles. For GCSE we teach to the main exam boards used locally, for example AQA, Edexcel Pearson, and OCR, and focus on both content and exam technique. For A-Level we work from the current specification, use past papers, and build strong revision habits. This keeps tutoring in Orton Longueville tightly connected to classroom learning and upcoming assessments set under Peterborough City Council’s schools.

We support most core school subjects across primary, secondary, GCSE, and A-Level:
– Primary and KS2: phonics, early reading, writing, spelling and grammar, maths, and Year 6 SATs preparation
– KS3: English, maths, and science foundations, study skills and confidence building
– GCSE: English Language and Literature, maths, combined science and separate sciences, revision planning and exam technique
– A-Level: subject specialists in core subjects with a focus on specification content, extended responses, and past-paper practice
If you have a specific subject in mind, ask during your free consultation and we will confirm availability.

Yes. Every plan is personalised. Many of our local tutors have experience supporting learners with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and anxiety, as well as pupils who speak English as an additional language. We adjust the pace, break tasks into smaller steps, and use strategies like visual scaffolds, overlearning for key skills, and targeted vocabulary work. If your child has an EHCP or strategies that work well at school, we build those into the tutoring plan so support feels consistent. If needs are complex, the exact approach depends on your child, so we will discuss details in the consultation.

Tutor quality and safety are non-negotiable. Our tutors go through multi-stage interviews, reference checks, and subject knowledge screening. All tutors who work with children hold an enhanced DBS check and complete safeguarding training. You also have a dedicated local contact who oversees progress and is available if anything needs to change. Tutor Doctor is a proud member of The Tutors’ Association, which promotes professional standards across the sector.

You receive a written session report after every lesson that explains topics covered, what went well, any gaps found, and suggested practice. We set measurable targets, for example moving a GCSE maths topic from insecure to secure or improving reading accuracy and fluency at primary. We check understanding using short quizzes and past-paper style questions, and we adjust the plan based on results, mocks, or school feedback. Many parents tell us the visibility makes a big difference. One local parent said, “My daughter has learnt more in a few tutoring sessions than she did in 3 months of secondary school.”

Yes. We provide one-to-one tutoring at home across Orton Longueville, Orton Waterville, Orton Wistow, Orton Winyates, Orton Brimbles, Orton Goldhay, Orton Malborne, Orton Northgate, Orton Southgate, Hampton Hargate, Hampton Vale, New Fletton, Woodston, Stanground, and Longthorpe. Online tutoring is also available for families across the Peterborough City Council area. We will agree a schedule that fits around school and activities.

The best time to start is as soon as you notice a need. Year 10 is ideal for building strong foundations, and in the months leading up to exams in Year 11 we focus on targeted revision so every session counts. After mock results we prioritise the topics that move marks fastest, for example exam technique, weak areas, and high-yield questions. Start dates depend on subject and timetable availability, so please contact us and we will confirm the earliest slot. The Education Endowment Foundation reports that structured one-to-one tutoring can add around five months of progress on average, so even a short, focused block can make a real difference.
