We start with a free consultation to understand your child’s goals, school, and recent teacher feedback. Our local tutors then plan one-to-one lessons that track the National Curriculum and the schemes of work your child’s school follows. For GCSEs and A-Levels, we align to the exam board your school uses and build in revision and exam technique. We can also factor in Northumberland term dates, mock schedules, and school reports so tuition supports what is happening in class each week.

We support pupils from primary through to sixth form across the Amble area. Typical requests include:
– Primary and Key Stage 2: phonics, reading, writing, spelling, number facts, and maths foundations, plus SATs preparation.
– Key Stage 3: confidence building in English and maths, science fundamentals, and transition support into secondary.
– GCSE: maths, English language and literature, combined and triple science, and many option subjects, with a focus on revision planning and exam technique.
– A-Level: specialist subject tutoring and targeted help to move from a current mark to a target mark.
– 11+ preparation is available where relevant to selective schools. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, ask us.

It is simple. First, book a free consultation with Tutor Doctor Newcastle upon Tyne. We learn about your child’s learning style, goals, and school context. Next, we match your child with one of our local tutors who fits both the subject and personality. The tutor creates a tailored plan, and lessons take place in your home or online at times that suit your family. After every session you receive a written report so you can see progress and next steps. We check in regularly and adjust the plan as needs change, for example after parents’ evening or mock results.

Yes. We provide one-to-one tutoring in Amble by the Sea and across the local area, including Warkworth, Low Hauxley, High Hauxley, Radcliffe, Broomhill, Hadston, Togston, Red Row, Acklington, Shilbottle, Alnmouth, Widdrington Station, Widdrington, Lesbury, Alnwick, Morpeth, and the wider Druridge Bay area. Our local tutors can come to your home, or teach online if you prefer or if travel is difficult. Online lessons use secure platforms with interactive tools so students can work through problems and past papers in real time.

We agree clear goals at the start, for example moving from a grade 3 to a grade 5 in GCSE maths, closing gaps in primary reading, or improving A-Level exam technique. Your tutor then tracks progress against these goals and shares a written session report after every lesson. We also run regular reviews to look at school assessments, mock results, and homework performance. If something changes at school, we update the plan so tuition stays aligned with the latest priorities and revision timetable.

Yes. Many families come to us because their child needs a calmer, more personalised approach. Our local tutors adapt the pace, break tasks into smaller steps, use multi-sensory methods, and build routines that reduce stress. We focus on confidence first, then skills and exam technique. Where helpful and with your permission, we can take account of teacher notes or an EHCP and keep strategies consistent with what works in school.

All tutors go through a multi-stage selection process that includes interviews, reference checks, and an enhanced DBS check, with safeguarding training before they work with students. Your local Tutor Doctor team provides ongoing oversight and is your direct contact if you ever need support or a change. We take pupil safety and wellbeing seriously in every in-home and online lesson.
