Yes. This is one of the most common reasons families contact us. We build a focused revision plan that targets your child’s specific gaps in understanding. Sessions cover exam technique, past-paper practice, and the topics that will move marks fastest. According to the Education Endowment Foundation, one-to-one tuition typically leads to around five months of additional progress for primary and secondary pupils. We deliver tutoring in your home or online, and we work around school timetables. You also receive session reports after every lesson so you can see progress in real time.

We start with a free consultation to understand goals, learning style, personality and school context. We then hand-pick a tutor with the right subject expertise and approach. Our local tutors are chosen for how well they connect with students as well as their knowledge. After the first sessions, we check in with you and your child. If the fit is not perfect, we will rematch. The aim is simple. The right tutor, the right plan, and one-to-one support that builds confidence and results.

Yes. We set clear goals at the start. Your family receives a written session report after every lesson that explains what was covered, how your child responded, and any homework or next steps. We review progress regularly and adjust the plan when needed. For exam classes, we use past papers and teacher-style assessments to show improvement in both knowledge and exam technique. Parents tell us these reports make a real difference to peace of mind.

All tutors go through a multi-stage selection process that checks subject expertise and teaching approach. They complete interviews and reference checks. For safeguarding, tutors are fully vetted and complete safeguarding training. Tutor Doctor is a proud member of The Tutors Association.
