We align our one-to-one tutoring with the National Curriculum for England and the exam boards your child’s school uses in Leeds, such as AQA, Edexcel and OCR. During your free consultation we review your child’s current topics, target marks, recent assessments and any school feedback from parents’ evening. For primary pupils we map sessions to KS1 and KS2 objectives and SATs. For secondary students we plan around school schemes of work, mock exam dates, and half-term revision so that tutoring reinforces what is being taught in class. Our local tutors use past papers, question-level analysis and exam technique that match what Leeds schools expect, so every session feels relevant and timely.

The right tutor changes everything. We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your child’s goals, confidence, learning style and personality. We then hand-pick one of our local tutors who fits both the subject need and your child’s way of learning. After the first lesson we check in with you and your child, and we keep overseeing progress with regular updates and session reports after every lesson. This is a managed, local service, not a marketplace. We are proud members of The Tutors’ Association and part of a national network that has delivered over 1.3 million tutoring sessions. As one Adel parent put it, “The tutor they provided was great and has made a big difference.”

We support pupils from primary through to sixth form across Adel and the wider Leeds area.
– Primary KS1 and KS2: reading, writing, spelling, phonics, maths and SATs preparation
– Secondary KS3: core subjects and study skills
– GCSEs: maths, English language and literature, biology, chemistry, physics, combined science, history, geography, French, Spanish and more, aligned to AQA, Edexcel or OCR – A-Levels: subject specialists for Years 12 and 13, including exam technique and revision planning – 11+ in selective areas only, plus general entrance assessments where relevant
– Study skills, organisation and revision planning at all stages If you do not see a subject listed, ask in your consultation. We will advise what is possible.

You receive a written session report after every lesson that outlines topics covered, strengths, next steps and any home practice. Early sessions include a light baseline to spot gaps, then we set clear goals linked to school targets or predicted marks. We use past papers and low-stakes quizzes to monitor understanding and adjust the plan. You also get regular check-ins from your local Tutor Doctor Northwest Leeds team so you always know how things are going and what is coming next.

Yes. Many of our local tutors are experienced in supporting students with needs such as ADHD, dyslexia and autism. We adapt pace, break tasks into smaller steps, use multi-sensory resources and build routines that suit the learner. One-to-one in the home can reduce anxiety and distractions, and online tools can also help some students focus. If you share school support plans, we will take them into account so tutoring works alongside what is already in place.

It is not too late. After mocks there is still time to make meaningful progress with a focused plan. We prioritise the highest-impact topics, teach proven exam techniques, and build a realistic revision timetable for the weeks ahead. Many students improve by one to two marks between mocks and finals when they commit to targeted, consistent support. Every student is different, so your free consultation will set out what feels achievable for your child and how to get started quickly.

Yes. We provide one-to-one tutoring in your Adel home or online, and many families choose a mix of both. We cover Adel and nearby areas including Weetwood, Cookridge, Holt Park, Alwoodley, Moortown, Bramhope, Arthington, Eccup, Headingley, Horsforth, Meanwood, Kirkstall, Lawnswood, Pool-in-Wharfedale, Esholt and Leeds city centre. Start dates depend on the subject and timetable availability. In many cases we can begin soon after your free consultation, although it depends.

Your child’s safety comes first. Our tutors complete a multi-stage selection process that includes interviews, reference checks and an enhanced DBS check. They receive safeguarding guidance before they begin tutoring with families. We provide ongoing oversight, collect session reports after every lesson and you have a dedicated local contact at Tutor Doctor Northwest Leeds if you ever need support. We are members of The Tutors’ Association, which promotes high standards and safeguarding in UK tutoring.
