It starts with a free consultation. We take time to understand your child’s goals, school context, exam board, learning style, personality and schedule. We then hand-pick one of our local tutors in Andover who fits both the subject need and the way your child learns.

Before lessons begin, we agree clear targets and a plan. After the first sessions, we check in with you to confirm the match feels right. If it is not quite right, we will rematch quickly. Throughout, you have a local point of contact at Tutor Doctor Winchester-Fareham who oversees progress and is easy to reach.

Our local tutors live and work in the area. We are familiar with Hampshire County Council schools and Test Valley contexts. If you prefer online, we use secure platforms and share resources so your child can learn effectively from home.

We align tuition with the National Curriculum and the specifications your child is following. At secondary level this means GCSE or A-Level exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel or OCR. We also support Functional Skills and GCSE resits where needed.

Your tutor will review recent classwork, teacher feedback and mock papers. We build lessons around the same topics and assessment objectives used at your child’s school, including exam technique and mark scheme practice. For primary pupils, we teach to Key Stage objectives and prepare for Year 6 SATs with age-appropriate methods and resources. If your child studies at Andover College, we support A-Levels and other Level 3 pathways, and can help with GCSE English and Maths resits.

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons families contact us. After your free consultation, we can usually start within days, either in-home or online. We prioritise high-impact topics, exam technique, timed practice and a realistic revision timetable that fits your child’s week.

Across England, many students now use extra help, and targeted one-to-one support between mocks and finals can make a real difference. While every student is different, we often see meaningful progress when there is a clear plan, regular sessions and focused practice. We will keep you updated after every session so you can see what has been covered and what is next.

We support most core school subjects from primary through to sixth form:
– Primary: English, phonics, reading, writing, spelling, Maths and SATs preparation.
– Key Stage 3: English, Maths, Science and study skills.
– GCSE: English Language, English Literature, Maths, Combined Science or Triple Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and many option subjects such as History, Geography, French, Spanish and Computer Science.
– Post-16: A-Level and other Level 3 subjects in Maths, Sciences, English, Psychology, Economics and more, plus support with coursework and exam technique.
– GCSE resits and Functional Skills in English and Maths.

If you do not see a subject listed, please ask during your free consultation. We will advise on availability in Andover and arrange the right specialist.

You receive a written session report after every lesson. It explains what was covered, how your child engaged, any gaps spotted and homework or next steps. We set measurable goals at the start, then review them with you in regular check-ins. Tutors use past papers, low-stakes quizzes and topic reviews to show progress against the curriculum or exam specification. If something is not working, we adjust the plan quickly so time is always well used.

Yes. Our local tutors use strategies that suit different learning profiles. That can include multi-sensory methods, clear scaffolding, bite-sized tasks, memory aids and frequent feedback. We work at a pace that builds confidence first, then marks follow.

A recent local parent told us their dyslexic son improved his marks through Year 8 and gained a place at a competitive independent school for Year 9. We will tailor the approach to your child and coordinate with school support plans where helpful.

Tutor quality and safety are essential. Our tutors complete a multi-stage selection process that includes interviews, reference checks and an enhanced DBS check. They receive safeguarding guidance and work to clear professional standards. You also have ongoing oversight from the Tutor Doctor Winchester-Fareham team, plus written session reports after every lesson. We are proud members of The Tutors’ Association, which promotes high standards across the industry.
