Trusted Tutoring in Hartley, South East England

We build every plan around the National Curriculum and your childs current scheme of work. Our local tutors teach across Key Stages 1 to 5 and are familiar with the main exam boards used by Kent schools, including AQA, Edexcel and OCR. For families in grammar school areas, we also prepare students for the Kent Test 11+, covering English, Maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, plus timing and exam technique. During your free consultation, we review recent school feedback, mock papers and targets, then tailor lessons to close specific gaps. Evidence from the Education Endowment Foundation shows targeted tuition can accelerate progress, and one-to-one support makes every minute count.

Absolutely. We support primary pupils with Key Stage 2 and Year 6 SATs, and we prepare Year 5 and Year 6 learners for the Kent Test 11+ where applicable to local grammar schools. At secondary level, our local tutors cover GCSE English, Maths, Sciences, languages and humanities, focusing on syllabus content, revision planning and exam technique. For Sixth Form, we match students with A-Level subject specialists who understand the latest specifications and mark schemes. In every case, the plan is built around your childs goals and deadlines.

We start with a free consultation to understand your childs targets, confidence level, learning style and personality. We then select a tutor with the right subject expertise and the right approach for your child. Most students start with a first session within days, and we check in after the early lessons to make sure the match is working. If we need to adjust the plan or switch tutor, we handle that quickly.

You receive a session report after every lesson, outlining what was covered, how your child responded and any tasks to consolidate learning. We agree clear goals at the start, for example specific GCSE mark targets or 11+ skills, then review these regularly. We can use short baseline and checkpoint activities, past-paper questions and teacher feedback where available. Your local Tutor Doctor Gravesend team stays in touch so the plan keeps pace with schoolwork and upcoming assessments.

Yes. Many of our local tutors have experience supporting neurodivergent learners and students with additional needs, including dyslexia, ADHD and autism. We tailor pacing, break tasks into manageable steps and use scaffolded resources that suit your childs strengths. With your permission, we can also align our approach with your school SENCOs guidance so home tuition and classroom strategies work together.

Safety is essential. Tutors complete a multi-stage selection process that includes interviews and reference checks, and they complete safeguarding training.
