Personalised, one-to-one tutoring in Whitley Bay

We start with a free consultation to learn about your child’s school, year group, topics, and exam board. Our local tutors plan lessons around what is being taught in class and your child’s mock feedback. For GCSEs and A-Levels we tailor to the correct board and specification, for example AQA, Edexcel or OCR.

We diagnose the root cause first. Your tutor will review mock scripts, school feedback and a short skills check. We then: Break topics into small, clear steps, for example algebra, ratio, fractions, trigonometry. Teach exam technique using the right board’s past papers. Build a simple practice routine between sessions. Use visuals or concrete examples where helpful. EEF evidence shows one-to-one tutoring leads to an average of five months of additional progress. A local parent told us, “My son is now in Year 10 but taking Year 11 maths and really enjoying it.” We aim for that same shift in confidence and results.

The exact plan depends on your child’s needs, which we discuss in the free consultation.

You will receive a session report after every lesson. It summarises what was covered, how your child responded, targets for next time and suggested practice. We set short, clear goals and review them regularly. For GCSE and A-Level we measure against the correct exam board standards using topic checklists and timed questions. You will also get regular check-ins from our local team so we can adjust the plan quickly if needed.
