We start with a free consultation with your family. We learn about your child’s goals, year group, exam targets, learning style and personality. We then hand-pick a tutor with the right subject expertise and approach. The first session can usually be arranged quickly at home or online. Your local Tutor Doctor Oxford Kidlington team stays involved, checks in regularly and reviews session reports after every lesson. If the fit is not perfect, we will rematch. It is one-to-one, personalised support that is built around your child and your schedule.

Yes. Our local tutors plan lessons that align with the National Curriculum and the exam boards used across Oxfordshire, such as AQA, Edexcel and OCR. For primary pupils we support KS1 and KS2 learning and SATs preparation. For secondary students we cover GCSE content, revision and exam technique. For sixth form we follow the current A-Level specifications. We also tie tutoring to your child’s classwork, set texts and teacher feedback so that each session connects directly with what they are learning at school. Oxford City Council data shows that 59% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with 64% nationally, which is why targeted, curriculum-aligned tutoring in Oxford City can make a real difference.

We cover a wide range of subjects from primary to A-Level:
– Primary and KS3: English, reading, writing, phonics, Maths, Science and study skills
– KS2 SATs preparation
– 11+ preparation in selective areas only. Ask us if this applies to you
– GCSE: Maths, English Language, English Literature, Combined Science and Triple Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography, French, Spanish, German, Computer Science and more
– A-Level: Maths and Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, History, Geography, Economics, Psychology and other key subjects
If you do not see a subject listed, ask during your free consultation. We will let you know what is possible.

Yes. We provide one-to-one tutoring in your home or online across Oxford City and the surrounding area. In Oxford this includes Summertown, Jericho, Headington, Marston, Botley, Hinksey, Iffley, Cowley, Barton, Littlemore, Blackbird Leys, Rose Hill and Kennington. Nearby, we also serve Kidlington, Yarnton, Eynsham, Abingdon, Woodstock, Radley, Wheatley, Bicester, Witney, Didcot, Wallingford, Thame, Chalgrove, Benson and Carterton. Online sessions use secure tools with an interactive whiteboard and shared resources, so students can learn effectively from anywhere.

We agree clear goals at the start, based on school targets and any recent assessments or mock results. After every session, your tutor submits a report that shows what was covered, what went well and next steps. Your local Tutor Doctor Oxford Kidlington team reviews these reports and checks in with you regularly. We adjust the plan as needed, focus on weak spots and prepare for key dates like mocks, SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels. Many families tell us this oversight is what sets us apart. One local parent shared that their Year 13 achieved 90% in Maths this past term.

Yes. Our local tutors are experienced in adapting lessons for students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism and anxiety, as well as for learners who use English as an Additional Language. We tailor pace, resources and strategies to your child. For EAL learners we focus on vocabulary, comprehension and academic language so they can access the full curriculum. If you have an Individual Education Plan or EHCP targets, we can build these into the tutoring plan you share with us. Progress is measured through regular session reports and review meetings with you.

The best time to start is as soon as you notice your child could benefit from extra support. For Year 11, the period after mock exam results is crucial. With focused one-to-one support and exam-specific practice, students often make significant gains before the exam season. Year 10 is ideal for building strong foundations so Year 11 feels manageable. The school holidays are a key revision window for GCSEs and A-Levels. For primary, earlier support is kinder and more effective than last-minute pressure.
