Frequently Asked Questions

How do you match my child with the right tutor in Selly Oak?

It starts with a free consultation with Tutor Doctor Birmingham Solihull. We listen to your child’s goals, current school topics, mock results, learning style, interests and timetable. We then shortlist our local tutors who fit on subject expertise and personality. You receive the match details before we begin.

Lessons take place one-to-one at home in Selly Oak or online. You get a session report after every lesson and regular check-ins from our local team. If the fit is not quite right, we will rematch quickly. Book your free consultation to get started.

Will your tutoring follow my child's school curriculum in Selly Oak and the wider Birmingham area?

Yes. We align tutoring with the National Curriculum and your child’s current scheme of work at school in Selly Oak. For GCSE and A-Level, our local tutors work to the exam specifications and focus on the topics and exam techniques your child needs for their mocks and final exams. For primary, we build reading, writing and maths in line with what teachers expect in class, so learning joins up.

After mock results, we build a focused revision plan using teacher feedback and past-paper-style practice. Independent evidence from the Education Endowment Foundation shows one-to-one tuition typically leads to about five months of additional progress in a year. Book a free consultation and we will map a plan to your child’s timetable.

Do you offer in-home and online tutoring in Selly Oak, and how quickly can we start after mock results?

Yes. We provide in-home tutoring across Selly Oak, Bournbrook, Selly Park, Ten Acres, Bournville, Stirchley, Weoley Castle, Harborne, Edgbaston, Cotteridge and Northfield, or online anywhere.

Start time depends on subject and tutor availability. After your free consultation, we move fast and can often begin within days during the mock-to-exam window. The steps are simple: enquiry, free consultation, tutor match, first session, then ongoing session reports and check-ins.

What subjects and levels do you cover for tutoring in Selly Oak?

We support pupils from primary through to GCSEs and A-Levels. Common requests include Maths, English and Sciences at Key Stages 2 to 4, GCSE preparation and revision, and A-Level subject support. We also help with study skills, revision timetables and exam technique.

If you need a specific subject or level, tell us in your consultation and we will recommend the best-fit tutor.

How do you track progress and keep parents informed in Selly Oak?

We set clear goals at the start and agree what success looks like. After every lesson, you receive a written session report showing topics covered, what went well, any gaps and the plan for next time. We check in regularly and adjust the programme as school priorities change.

Many families see confidence lift first, then marks improve. A local parent told us, “My daughter’s confidence was almost instantly boosted and she got the mark she required.” Book a free consultation and we will show you how our reporting works.

Can you support students with special educational needs in Selly Oak, including those attending Selly Oak Trust School?

Yes. Our approach is one-to-one and tailored. Tutors use clear, step-by-step instruction, visual and multi-sensory methods where helpful, and pacing that suits attention and processing needs. We focus on core literacy and numeracy, confidence, and practical routines. If you wish, we can align with strategies your child’s school or SENCO recommends.

We regularly support pupils with dyslexia, ADHD and anxiety. Tell us what works for your child in the free consultation so we can match a tutor who fits.

Are your tutors vetted and safe to work with children in Selly Oak?

Yes. All tutors complete a multi-stage interview and reference process and hold enhanced DBS checks. They complete safeguarding training and follow our safeguarding policies. You also have a dedicated local contact at Tutor Doctor Birmingham Solihull and receive session reports after every lesson. Tutor Doctor is a member of The Tutors’ Association.

Do you help with 11+ preparation in Birmingham grammar school areas near Selly Oak?

Yes. We provide tailored 11+ preparation for families in selective areas. Tuition covers English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, plus timing and exam technique. Plans are built around your child’s starting point and the local exam format. 11+ preparation is available in grammar school areas only. If you are not sure whether this applies to your address, ask us in your free consultation.
