We start with a free consultation to learn your child’s school, scheme of work and goals. Our local tutors follow the National Curriculum for England and teach to the requirements of SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels. For secondary, we match the exam board your school uses, typically AQA, Edexcel or OCR, and build lessons around the exact topics and past papers your child will face. Because Yaxley sits by both Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council schools, we regularly support pupils from Yaxley, Hampton, Stanground and the Ortons, aligning content to each school’s timetable and assessments. After every session, you receive a written report so you can see how the plan stays in step with school.

We cover primary to A-Level. That includes:
– Primary and Key Stage 2: phonics, reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, reasoning and SATs preparation.
– Key Stage 3: English, Maths, Science and study skills to rebuild foundations.
– GCSE: English Language and Literature, Maths and Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Combined Science, Computer Science, History, Geography, French, Spanish, Business and more.
– A-Level: subject specialists for Maths, Further Maths, the Sciences, English, Psychology, Economics and others, with a focus on exam technique and mark schemes.
We also support study skills, revision planning and confidence building. If you need something not listed, ask during your consultation and we will advise.

– Free consultation: we discuss your child’s goals, recent school feedback and availability.
– Tutor matching: we select a subject expert who also fits your child’s personality and learning style.
– Personalised plan: your tutor maps out targets linked to classwork, mocks or upcoming exams.
– One-to-one lessons: delivered in your home in Yaxley or online, at times that suit your family.
– Progress reporting: you receive a written session report after every lesson, plus regular check-ins from the Tutor Doctor Peterborough Huntingdon Stamford team to review progress and adjust the plan.
Most families start within one to two weeks of the consultation, sometimes sooner if schedules align.

Safeguarding is central to what we do. Our tutors go through multi-stage interviews, reference checks and an enhanced DBS check, with safeguarding training before they work with students. We monitor quality through ongoing oversight and session reports. Tutor Doctor UK is a member of The Tutors’ Association, which promotes professional standards in tutoring.

Yes. After mocks there is still time to make meaningful progress. We start with a short diagnostic, then target the exact gaps that pull marks down, such as weak topics, exam technique, timing and confidence. Lessons focus on past-paper practice, mark schemes and high-impact feedback. The Education Endowment Foundation reports that one-to-one tuition adds around five months of progress on average. Many students improve by one or two marks between mocks and finals when support is focused and regular. A local parent told us, “My daughter has learnt more in a few tutoring sessions than she did in 3 months of secondary school.” Book a free consultation and we will outline a clear plan for your child.

We do. We match students with tutors who have relevant experience supporting dyslexia, ADHD, autism and anxiety, and we adapt sessions with clear routines, scaffolded tasks and multi-sensory strategies. For EAL learners, we build vocabulary, phonics, grammar and comprehension alongside the subject content, so classroom learning makes more sense. Where parents wish, we can align with strategies from your school SENCO. Early, consistent support works best, but we can step in at any stage.

You will see it in three ways. 1) Written session reports after every lesson that summarise topics covered, misconceptions fixed and next steps. 2) Regular check-ins from our local team to review targets against schoolwork, quizzes and mock papers. 3) Visible changes in confidence and independence with homework and revision. We use short baseline checks at the start, then track past-paper scores and teacher feedback so you can measure progress clearly.

We deliver one-to-one tutoring in your home across Yaxley, including near St Peter’s Church, the Broadway and along the A15, and in nearby areas such as Hampton Hargate, Hampton Vale, Hampton Gardens, Norman Cross, Farcet, Holme, Folksworth, Stilton, Haddon, Conington, Sawtry, Stanground, Fletton, Woodston and the Ortons.
