Personalised, one-to-one tutoring in New Ash Green

We start with a free consultation so we can understand your child’s goals, learning style, school year, and timetable. Based on this, we match your child with one of our local tutors who is a good fit for both personality and subject needs. Lessons are one-to-one and can take place at your home in New Ash Green or online. We also support nearby areas including Hartley, Longfield, Longfield Hill, New Barn, Fawkham, Fawkham Green, Ash, West Kingsdown, Stansted, Fairseat, Ridley, Culverstone Green, Vigo Village, Meopham, Horton Kirby, South Darenth, Istead Rise, and Bean. After every session you receive a written report so you always know what was covered and what is coming next.

Yes. Our local tutors follow the National Curriculum for England and teach what your child is learning at school, including the methods used in class. For families aiming for Kent grammar schools, we also prepare pupils for the Kent Test 11+ where relevant in this selective county. Preparation can include maths, English, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, timing, and exam technique. We tailor plans by year group and target schools and we use past-style questions and structured revision. 11+ preparation applies in selective areas only, which includes Kent.

Absolutely. We regularly support Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils with phonics, reading fluency and comprehension, spelling and writing, number sense, times tables, and problem solving. We build skills lesson by lesson and coordinate with what teachers are setting so learning feels consistent. The Education Endowment Foundation reports that one-to-one tutoring delivers, on average, five months of additional progress over an academic year, which is why targeted support can make a clear difference for primary pupils. If your child needs a confidence boost or has gaps from earlier years, we can put a simple plan in place and get started quickly.

Yes. We provide one-to-one GCSE and A-Level tutoring across core and option subjects, including Maths, English Language and Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and more. Our local tutors know the main exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. For Year 11 and Year 13, we focus on syllabus coverage, exam technique, and timed practice. We help students identify their weakest topics and build a clear revision strategy to maximise their performance. Many students see meaningful improvement with focused support, although we do not promise specific marks. Book a free consultation and we will map out the best next steps.

We match on three things: subject expertise, learning style, and personality. During the consultation we ask about what works for your child, what has not worked before, and any goals or deadlines like the 11+ or GCSEs. We then introduce a tutor who fits that profile and your schedule. After the first sessions, we review feedback with you and your child. If the fit is not perfect, we will introduce another tutor. The right match is central to progress and confidence.

You receive a written session report after every lesson that summarises what was covered, how your child did, and suggested practice for next time. We set short, clear goals, for example securing specific topics, improving a question type, or working towards a target mark. We check in with you regularly and adjust the plan as needed, for example after school assessments or parents’ evening. Local families tell us they value this visibility. One New Ash Green parent said: “Thanks to Tutor Doctor’s guidance, my daughter’s confidence and performance have improved significantly.”

Yes. Many of our local tutors have experience supporting pupils with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, processing difficulties, or anxiety around learning or exams. We keep sessions calm and structured, use step-by-step explanations, build in short breaks where helpful, and focus on confidence as well as content. If you wish, we can align with strategies from school or a SENCO and work towards EHCP targets. The exact approach depends on your child’s needs, so we recommend a free consultation to plan the right support.

Safety and professionalism come first. Our tutors complete a multi-stage interview process, provide professional references, and are fully vetted. They complete safeguarding training and follow our safeguarding policies. You also have ongoing oversight from your local Tutor Doctor Gravesend team and session reports after every lesson. Tutor Doctor is proud to be a member of The Tutors’ Association, which sets professional standards for tutoring in the UK.
