Trusted Tutoring in Dorridge, West Midlands

It starts with a free consultation with the Tutor Doctor Birmingham Solihull team. We listen to your goals, review any recent school feedback, and learn about your child’s learning style. We then hand-pick one of our local tutors who fits on subject expertise and personality. Your first one-to-one session takes place at home in Dorridge or online. The tutor sets a simple plan that mirrors school topics and exam board requirements, then teaches in clear, manageable steps. After every lesson you receive a session report so you can see progress and next steps. According to the Education Endowment Foundation, one-to-one tuition can add around five months of progress, which is why this personalised approach works so well.

We tutor to the National Curriculum for England and match the exact exam board your childs school uses for GCSEs and A-Levels, for example AQA, Edexcel or OCR. For primary pupils we teach to KS1 and KS2 objectives and mirror the methods used in class to avoid confusion. We review school schemes of work, recent assessments and teacher feedback when parents share them. Our local tutors work with pupils across Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council schools, as well as nearby Birmingham City Council and Warwickshire County Council schools, so we understand local expectations and timelines.
