It starts with a free consultation. We listen to your goals, your child’s year group, recent school feedback or mock results, and how your child learns best. We then recommend a tutor with the right subject expertise and personality fit. You choose one-to-one sessions at home or online. Our local tutors focus on confidence first, then marks. After every lesson you receive a session report. Your local Tutor Doctor Newcastle upon Tyne team checks in regularly, and if the match is not perfect, we will find a better one quickly.

Yes. We align tutoring to the National Curriculum used in North Tyneside schools and to the exam board specifications followed by your child’s school for GCSEs and A-Levels. Your tutor will:
– Use current school topics, mock feedback and targets
– Build revision plans around your child’s timetable
– Practise past papers, timing, command words and mark schemes
– Support primary SATs preparation in Year 6 and strong foundations across Key Stages

This keeps tuition relevant and makes each session count.

We also offer 11+ preparation on request for families applying to selective schools in grammar school areas.

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons families contact us. We begin with a free consultation, then create a focused plan that targets the exact gaps shown by mocks. Your tutor will work on:
– High-impact topics first
– Exam technique and timing
– A realistic revision timetable
– Confidence and motivation

There is often time to move up 1 to 2 marks between mocks and finals when support is targeted and consistent. A local parent told us: “Our daughter’s confidence has gone up and she’ll start the autumn term ahead instead of behind because of Qari’s help.” Book your consultation and we will map out the next steps straight away.

Yes. Many students we support are neurodivergent or have additional needs. One-to-one tutoring reduces classroom pressure and lets us teach at the right pace. We match your child with a tutor who has the right experience and approach, then agree practical strategies such as shorter activities, clear scaffolding, visual supports and movement or screen breaks. We are happy to work with school information and any support plans you wish to share.

Tutor safety is a priority. Our tutors complete a multi-stage interview process and hold an enhanced DBS check. They complete safeguarding training and follow our safeguarding policies. You also have a local point of contact at Tutor Doctor Newcastle upon Tyne for any concerns. We are proud members of The Tutors’ Association.

We set a clear starting point and goals, then track progress every week. After each lesson you receive a session report that covers what was taught, how your child responded and any next steps. We review progress each half term, adjust the plan as needed and keep you updated with regular check-ins. With your permission we can also align with school feedback so classroom learning and tutoring move in the same direction.
