Yes. This is one of the most common reasons parents contact us in the lead-up to exams. We act quickly. After a short consultation we prioritise a tutor match that targets the specific topics and exam techniques highlighted by the mocks.

Many students improve by 1 to 2 marks between mocks and final GCSEs with focused one-to-one support and a clear revision plan. Every student is different, so we will be honest about what is realistic for your child and the time available. Session reports after each lesson show progress and keep everyone on track. A local parent shared a testimonial: “My son achieved a much higher science result than predicted thanks to Rachel’s support.”

Yes, where it is relevant. Cookham Dean is close to Buckinghamshire, where some secondary schools are selective. Our local tutors provide one-to-one 11+ preparation that covers English, maths, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and exam technique. We tailor the plan to the specific format used in nearby grammar school areas and to your child’s strengths.

11+ preparation is available in grammar school areas only. If you are unsure whether it applies to you, we will clarify this and map out timelines during your free consultation.

Yes. Every child can learn with the right approach. Our tutors adapt lessons to individual needs and pace, whether your child is rebuilding confidence after a tough term, managing anxiety about schoolwork, or has a diagnosed learning difference such as dyslexia or ADHD.

We focus on small wins first so confidence grows. We keep instructions clear, break work into manageable steps and use strategies that match your child’s learning style. Parents often tell us their child starts to look forward to sessions. Tell us what has and has not worked so far and we will plan from there.

You receive a written session report after every lesson. It summarises what was covered, what your child understood well, any gaps found and the next steps. We agree short goals at the start, then review these with you at sensible checkpoints such as half term and after school assessments or mocks.

If something is not working, we adjust quickly. You also have a local point of contact at Tutor Doctor Reading Wokingham Maidenhead, Walton-on-Thames who checks in and makes sure the plan continues to fit your child’s needs and school deadlines.

Our local tutors go through a multi-stage selection process before they work with families. This includes interviews, verified references, subject knowledge checks, safeguarding training and an enhanced DBS check. We match you with someone who understands UK curricula and the demands of KS2, GCSE or A-Level.
