Huge thank you to Nick for the support he gave – for always going over and above, and for giving Fin the encouragement and confidence he needed. We know he couldn’t have got through without Nicks guidance. ...

They do the "front of house" work in finding out each individual student's difficulties: educational and social blocks as well as their hoped for outcome for successful tutoring. TutorDoctor's office team then matches each student individulaay to the ...

I cannot speak highly enough of the support our daughter received from Austin during a very challenging lockdown period. Their weekly sessions were a highlight for her, not just keeping her up to speed with the curriculum but going above and beyond to keep her engaged with science and maths to the extent that she was ahead of the game when returning to school. I would not hesitate to the recommend ...

Tutors Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a great private tutor?
A great private tutor is passionate about helping students succeed by overcoming their academic challenges, growing their confidence, and finding joy in learning. These tutors have strong subject matter expertise and a mentor mentality. They build relationships grounded in trust, respect, and communication with their students and have their student’s best interests at heart. Great tutors are able to personalise their support by connecting the learning to their student’s interests, helping their student to recognise and hone their strengths, and developing strategies to reduce and/or overcome their student’s areas of need. Finally, great private tutors work as part of their student’s educational team by communicating and collaborating with the student, their teacher, family, and other members of the team.

What skills do you develop from being a tutor?
Being a tutor is a great way to build transferable skills, like communication, creativity, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership, so no matter your plan for the future, tutoring can help you get there!
-
Can tutoring help me learn if I would enjoy being a teacher?
Tutoring is a great way to discover if you have a true passion for education and supporting students in their learning, which is essential for being a teacher. It will allow you to test out your current skills and see if an educational role might be right for you. Just remember, as a tutor you will typically work with students one-to-one, or in a small group setting, for a few hours each week. That dynamic does differ from supporting a full class of students each day. Tutoring may help you decide if education is the right career path for you to explore, but it will not give you the same experience as being a classroom teacher.
