It starts with a free consultation. We listen to what is going on at school, recent reports or mocks, your child’s goals, learning style, personality and timetable. We then recommend one of our local tutors with the right subject expertise and experience at the correct key stage or exam board. Tuition is one-to-one, in your home in Locks Heath or online. After each session you receive a report so you can see progress. We check in regularly and can fine tune the plan to keep sessions targeted and effective.

Yes. Our local tutors plan around the National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 to 4 and the requirements of GCSE and A-Level exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel and OCR. For primary pupils in schools like Locks Heath Junior, Park Gate or Sarisbury, we build skills for phonics, reading, writing and maths and support SATs revision. For secondary pupils, we align to your school’s scheme of work, homework and upcoming assessments, and we teach exam technique for mocks and finals. In selective areas only, we also support 11+ preparation across English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

Yes. Every plan is personalised. Our tutors use clear routines, step-by-step explanations and multi-sensory strategies to help pupils with needs such as dyslexia, ADHD or autism. We set small, achievable targets to rebuild confidence, teach revision and study skills, and keep the same trusted tutor for consistency. Local parents tell us their children have grown in confidence and improved their marks, including a dyslexic Year 8 who gained entry to a competitive independent school for Year 9.

You receive a short session report after every lesson that covers topics studied, what went well, any gaps that remain and suggested practice before the next session. We agree clear goals at the start, for example moving from insecure to secure on a Key Stage 2 objective or improving from a GCSE Grade 3 to targeting a Grade 5. We review these goals together at regular checkpoints. The Education Endowment Foundation finds that one-to-one tuition adds around five months of progress on average, so we structure sessions to achieve steady, measurable gains.

Yes. We offer one-to-one tutoring in your home across Locks Heath, Sarisbury, Park Gate, Swanwick, Whiteley, Warsash, Titchfield, Titchfield Common, Hook-with-Warsash and Fleetend, or online if that suits your family better. Many families choose a mix, starting in person to build rapport and moving online during busy weeks. We schedule around school, clubs and family life, and we keep the same tutor wherever possible so your child has a consistent relationship.

It depends on the subject, year group and your preferred times. We aim to move quickly once we have completed your free consultation. We prioritise time-sensitive cases such as Year 11 mock-to-final revision and primary SATs. We set an initial plan that focuses on the topics that will have the biggest impact first, then refine it as we see how your child responds.

Our tutors are selected for strong subject knowledge and the ability to teach one-to-one with patience and clarity. They complete a multi-stage interview and reference process, and hold an enhanced DBS check with safeguarding training before working with students. Tutor Doctor is a proud member of The Tutors’ Association in the UK.
