Rob and Lynne Kerrison
Tutor Doctor Cambridge

Rob and Lynne Kerrison

When Rob Kerrison's children were starting school in 2010, he and his wife Lynne made a decision that would help thousands of Cambridge families: they left their successful corporate careers to build a local tutoring service focused on helping children fulfil their potential. Rob brought years of marketing experience, but more importantly, he brought a parent's understanding of what families need when their child needs extra support. Over the past fourteen years, Tutor Doctor Cambridge has delivered more than 149,000 hours of one-to-one tutoring and built strong relationships with local schools, who trust them to support their pupils both in school and at home. Rob remains hands-on in the business, leading a team that includes dedicated education consultants who meet with every family to understand their child's specific needs. He personally oversees the careful matching process that pairs each pupil with the right tutor from their team of local tutors, ensuring families get the personalised, safe, one-to-one support their children deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you match my child with the right tutor in Great Shelford, United Kingdom?

If you are looking for tutoring in Great Shelford, United Kingdom, we begin with a free, no-obligation consultation. We listen to your childs goals, recent school feedback, preferred learning style, and timetable. We then recommend one of our local tutors who is matched based on subject expertise and personality. Your family has the final say before lessons start. If the chemistry is not quite right, tell us and we will rematch quickly. You also have a local point of contact at Tutor Doctor Cambridge who checks in and oversees progress throughout.

Do your tutors follow the Cambridgeshire curriculum and local school requirements?

Yes. Our local tutors plan to the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 to 4 and align with what your child is studying at school in South Cambridgeshire. For GCSEs, we teach to your schools exam board and focus on mark schemes, command words and exam technique. For Year 6 SATs, we cover the tested domains in reading, grammar, punctuation, spelling and maths. If your family is applying for selective schools in other areas, we can also support 11+ preparation where relevant to grammar school regions. We adjust our resources as schools update schemes of work, so lessons support classwork and revision rather than working against it.

Which subjects and levels do you cover in Great Shelford and nearby villages?

We support primary, secondary and sixth form students across Great Shelford, Little Shelford, Stapleford, Trumpington, Hauxton, Sawston, Harston, Newton, Whittlesford, Babraham, Grantchester and wider Cambridge. Common requests include: Primary literacy and numeracy, phonics, reading comprehension and maths fluency; KS3 support to secure core foundations in English, Maths and Science; GCSE English Language and Literature, Maths, Combined and Triple Science, plus popular options such as History, Geography and Languages; A-Level subject specialists for Maths, the Sciences, English and Humanities, including structured revision and exam technique. If you do not see a subject listed, ask in your consultation and we will advise.

Can you help with GCSE preparation and revision support in Great Shelford?

Yes. We focus on high-impact topics, build realistic revision plans, and use past papers and mark schemes so every session counts. Many local families choose one-to-one tuition to rebuild confidence as well as secure marks under timed conditions. A Cambridge parent recently shared, “My son passed with a grade 6 in English, which is amazing as he has always struggled with the subject.” Results vary, and we never promise a specific mark, but focused one-to-one support can make a clear difference in your child’s performance.

My child has special educational needs. Can you tailor tuition to SEN?

Yes. We regularly support students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism and a range of learning differences. Our local tutors use clear, step-by-step teaching, multi-sensory strategies where helpful, and plenty of review to secure key concepts. We set achievable targets to build confidence first, then stretch when ready. Tell us what has worked well in school and at home, and we will shape the sessions around your childs strengths and needs.

How do you track progress and keep parents informed?

You receive a written session report after every lesson. It summarises what was covered, how your child responded, any homework or practice set, and the next steps. We check in with you regularly and review goals over time. If school feedback or targets change, we adjust the plan so tuition stays aligned with classwork and upcoming assessments.

Is tuition available at home in Great Shelford and online across Cambridgeshire?

You can choose in-home one-to-one tutoring in Great Shelford and nearby villages, or online sessions if that suits your family better. Many families choose a blend, for example in-home during term time and online during holidays. We cover Great Shelford, Little Shelford, Stapleford, Trumpington, Hauxton, Sawston, Harston, Newton, Whittlesford, Babraham, Grantchester and Cambridge.

How are your tutors vetted and what safeguards are in place?

All tutors go through a multi-stage selection process that includes interviews and reference checks. Tutors complete safeguarding training before working with students. Tutor Doctor is a member of The Tutors Association, which promotes high standards and a professional code of practice. If you have any safeguarding questions, please raise them in your consultation and we will explain how we keep students safe.
