Personalised, one-to-one tutoring in Glastonbury

It starts with a free, no obligation consultation. We listen to you and your child, review recent school feedback, and agree clear goals. We then recommend one of our local tutors based on subject expertise and personality fit, as well as your child’s learning style. Your tutor creates a one to one plan that follows what your child is doing at school, and we schedule sessions at home in Glastonbury or online. After every lesson you receive a session report so you can see progress from week to week.

Yes. Our tutoring is tailored to your child and aligned with the national curriculum and the schemes of work used in Somerset schools. We support pupils from St Benedict’s, St Dunstan’s, Crispin School in Street, and schools across Wells and Shepton Mallet. For KS2 we help with reading, writing and maths in line with SATs expectations. For secondary we target the exact GCSE and A Level topics and exam techniques taught at your child’s school, using past papers and revision strategies that match the exam boards used locally.

Across England, around three in five primary pupils meet the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Many families in Glastonbury and nearby Street and Wells tell us they are seeing learning gaps that need addressing. One to one tutoring gives your child focused time to rebuild foundations, grow confidence, and prepare for KS2 SATs, GCSEs or A Levels. Starting tutoring means we can plan steady weekly sessions, make the most of school holidays for revision, and show measurable progress through regular session reports.

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons parents contact us. We review past papers and assessments to spot gaps, then build a targeted plan that focuses on high impact topics and exam technique. Sessions combine teaching, guided practice and timed past paper questions. We aim to turn feedback into a clear revision path so every session counts in the run-up to exams. Book a free consultation and we will outline what is realistic for your child.

We offer both. Many families choose in home sessions in and around Glastonbury Tor, the High Street area, Street and Wells. Others prefer online tutoring for flexibility or to fit around clubs and travel. You can also blend the two. We arrange lesson times that suit your family, including after school, evenings and weekends, and we can add extra revision sessions in the Easter holidays if needed.

You receive a written session report after every lesson showing what was covered, how your child responded, and what is coming next. We set short term goals, for example mastering key GCSE topics or improving reading fluency, and we check progress regularly with low stress quizzes and past paper questions. Your local Tutor Doctor team stays in touch to review how things are going and adjust the plan if needed. A local parent recently told us, “My son has made further academic progress in a short period of time and gained more confidence in himself.”

Yes. Our local tutors are experienced in adapting sessions for a range of needs, including dyslexia, ADHD, autism and anxiety. We keep instructions clear, break work into manageable steps, use multi sensory strategies where helpful, and build routines that reduce stress. The first aim is confidence and engagement, then steady academic gains follow. We work with you and, where appropriate, with your child’s teachers so support is consistent across home and school.

Our tutors are subject specialists who know the UK curriculum and exam requirements. Every tutor goes through multi stage interviews and reference checks. They complete safeguarding training before working with students. Tutor Doctor is a proud member of The Tutors’ Association. This gives families in Glastonbury and the surrounding Somerset areas confidence that quality and safeguarding are taken seriously from day one.
