Trusted Tutoring in Shirley, West Midlands

It starts with a free consultation with Tutor Doctor Birmingham Solihull. We listen to your goals, your childs learning style, school year, subjects and timetable. We then hand-match your child with one of our local tutors who fits both their academic needs and personality.

Tuition is one-to-one, either in your home in Shirley or online, at times that suit your family. After every lesson you receive a session report so you can see what was covered, how your child is progressing and what comes next. Our local team stays in touch and adjusts the plan as your child grows in confidence.

We support families across Shirley, Solihull, Hall Green, Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green, Monkspath, Haslucks Green, Solihull Lodge, Blossomfield, Olton, Yardley Wood, Whitlocks End and Wythall.

Matching is at the heart of what we do. In the consultation we learn about your childs subjects, current marks,target marks, learning style and interests. We then select a local tutor with the right subject expertise, teaching approach and personality fit. If your child is shy, needs a confidence boost or thrives with lots of questions, we factor that in.

If the chemistry is not quite right, tell us and we will rematch. The goal is a tutor your child looks forward to seeing, because confidence comes first and marks follow.

Yes. Our tutors teach to the National Curriculum in primary and secondary, and for exams they work to the specific board your school uses, for example AQA, Edexcel or OCR. For GCSEs and A-Levels this means the right specifications, command words, mark schemes and exam technique. For primary pupils we build secure foundations in reading, writing and maths, including targeted support where school has flagged gaps.

You get a written session report after every lesson. It summarises topics covered, strengths, next steps and any revision tasks. We agree clear goals at the start, then review them regularly with you. If mocks, parents evening feedback or school assessments change the picture, we update the plan straight away. A Shirley parent recently told us, Very good communication and we had superb results. My daughters confidence was almost instantly boosted and she got the mark she required.

Yes. Many of our local tutors have experience supporting pupils with dyslexia, ADHD, autism and other learning differences, as well as children who have fallen behind or lost confidence. We keep lessons calm, clear and structured, build small wins each week, and use strategies that suit your child. We work alongside what school is doing and share simple routines you can use at home. If your child needs adjustments, tell us in the consultation and we will plan for them.

We do. Our tutors provide targeted GCSE and A-Level support in subjects like Maths, English, Sciences, Languages, Humanities and more. We focus on knowledge gaps, exam technique, timed practice and revision planning. For the 11+ we offer tailored preparation in relevant areas such as English, Maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning for grammar school regions. 11+ preparation applies only in selective areas. Not sure if that applies to you? Ask us in your consultation.

Around half of pupils do not achieve a grade 5 or above in GCSE English and Maths, so focused one-to-one support can make a real difference to your child’s performance and confidence.

Safeguarding is essential. Tutors go through a multi-stage interview and referencing process. They are fully vetted, and receive safeguarding guidance before working with students. We verify subject knowledge and look for clear communication and a student-centred approach. We are also proud members of The Tutors Association, which promotes high standards in UK tuition.

Common signs include slipping marks, unfinished homework, stress about tests, or a teacher saying there are gaps. Another sign is a drop in confidence, for example Im just not good at Maths. Nationally, around 39 to 41 percent of pupils do not reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of primary, so early support is a kind choice. If you are unsure, book a free consultation. We will review school feedback, recent work and goals, then recommend a clear plan for your child.
