Personalised, one-to-one tutoring in Elstree

Our tutoring is planned around the National Curriculum in England and the real exam specifications your child is working towards. In Elstree and Borehamwood, that means practical support for GCSEs, A-Levels and KS2 SATs, with 11+ preparation available in selective areas only. If you are not sure whether the 11+ applies to your family, just ask during your free consultation.

Our local tutors understand how pupils are assessed at schools in and around Elstree, including those travelling from Elstree & Borehamwood station and those attending Elstree Screen Arts Academy, Yavneh College and nearby Hertfordshire and Barnet schools. We focus on syllabus content, exam technique, and revision planning so that learning in sessions links directly to what happens in school and in exams.

The consultation is a friendly call or visit where we listen first. We learn about your child’s goals, current marks, learning style, confidence level and timetable. We also discuss school information such as targets and any teacher feedback.

Matching then covers three things:
– Subject fit: the tutor has recent experience with your child’s course and exam level.
– Personality and learning style: we look for the right communication style for your child.
– Practicalities: location in Elstree or nearby and a timetable that actually works.

You will receive a clear plan before sessions begin. If the fit ever needs adjusting, we handle that quickly.

Sessions are arranged around family life. Evenings, weekends and school holidays are all possible. Many parents who commute via Elstree & Borehamwood station choose early evenings. Tell us what works and we will plan around it.

You will receive a short session report after every lesson. Reports outline what was covered, how your child performed, and any homework or next steps. We set clear goals at the start, then check progress against those goals with regular reviews. This can include mini assessments, exam-style questions and revision plans.

Parents tell us this visibility matters. One Borehamwood parent shared how their daughter became top of her class with the highest mark. We want you to feel that same clarity and momentum.

Yes. Our local tutors work with a wide range of learners, including students with ADHD, dyslexia, autism and anxiety, as well as pupils using English as an Additional Language. We keep lessons calm, structured and paced to the student. Where helpful, we align with school targets or an EHCP and use strategies that suit your child’s strengths.

For EAL, we build language alongside subject knowledge. This includes vocabulary for exam questions, model answers, reading strategies and planning written responses.

It depends on subject and availability, but we move quickly. After your free consultation, we prioritise a match and aim to begin as soon as possible. The plan will focus on the highest impact topics, exam technique and confidence. We use past-paper questions, targeted revision, and clear weekly goals so that every session counts.

Locally, families know how important core subjects are. At Elstree Screen Arts Academy, around two in five pupils do not achieve grade 4 or above in both English and maths. Focused one-to-one support can make a real difference in preparing for exams.

We support primary pupils at KS1 and KS2, secondary pupils at KS3 and KS4, and sixth form students at A-Level. Most families ask for Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. We can also help with other popular GCSE and A-Level subjects, plus 11+ in selective areas. Tell us what you need in the consultation and we will advise on the best fit.

Tutor safety is a priority. Our tutors complete a multi-stage selection process, including interviews and reference checks. They receive safeguarding guidance that reflects UK best practice. You also have local oversight from Tutor Doctor Barnet, with session reports after every lesson and a dedicated contact if you ever need to talk. We are proud members of The Tutors’ Association.
