Find an expert Astronomy tutor

I approached Holly for some private tutoring to supplement my daughter’s GCSE Astronomy studies, where some of the more complicated concepts have proven challenging. During our initial meeting, Holly took the time to thoroughly understand my daughter's requirements and by the first lesson had created detailed lesson plans, wonderful illustrative slides and interactive exercises, and had even prepared Google Drive to share and organise files and resources. This degree of preparation is impressive enough, but where Holly really shines is in her delivery. Her knowledge of astronomy obviously far exceeds that required for a GCSE, yet her explanations are pitched perfectly for my daughter’s age and level of proficiency, while staying faithful to the exam board’s specification. She is an interesting and animated tutor, and her enthusiasm and wonder for the subject are both inspiring and infectious. Lessons start promptly, with Holly clearly identifying the individual session’s aims. The Tutorful portal allows Holly to use an interactive whiteboard for diagrams, classwork, and note-taking, and for pinning and examining study materials. She also provides links to relevant third-party websites and video clips. Holly ensures full engagement through practical demonstrations, imaginative exercises and a conversational approach that encourages inquiry and discussion. Frequent intervals for student input, both oral and written, ensure that each concept has been understood. Lessons typically end with a recap and a quiz, and homework is set and marked on a weekly basis. Holly has been an unmitigated pleasure to deal with throughout. My daughter looks forward to her weekly sessions and it is gratifying to note the improvements to her understanding, confidence, and enthusiasm for the subject after each one. I rate Holly’s astronomy tutoring skills at the highest level and recommend her services without reservation.

From the outset, Tomisin has been a joy to deal with and in a short space of time has proven to be an excellent GCSE Astronomy tutor. After taking the time to understand my daughter's requirements, she has managed to establish an informal yet structured and productive relationship which encourages inquiry and discussion. Lessons are planned in advance, homework is set and marked, lessons start promptly, and Tomisin makes excellent use of the Tutorful platform to incorporate slides and videos to illustrate the rather complicated concepts under discussion. Regular testing with questions from past exam papers helps ensure that individual topics have been understood or identifies that further work is required. Tomisin's kind natured and good humoured approach has been an instant hit with my daughter, who actually looks forward to her weekly sessions. I couldn't be more pleased with the way things have gone so far.

Incredibly knowledgable, down to Earth and very adaptable to different learning styles. I can't rate Issac any higher and I wish I had found him sooner! :)

My son tells me todays lesson was 10/10 Tara is great at explaining Astronomy GCSE topics, setting homework to incrementally strengthen understanding. We highly recommend.

I can't praise this Ady enough! Learning is a delight with him as he turns complex subjects into enjoyable adventures. He's approachable, patient, and always open to questions. It's clear he genuinely cares about his students' success, providing thorough feedback and constant encouragement. If you're looking for a tutor who makes learning fun, is easy to talk to, and truly invests in your progress, this is the one. Five stars hardly do justice to his exceptional teaching style and commitment to his students.

James is the most Patient and understanding tutor for Astronomy. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is thinking or doing their GCSE Exam. He teaches at the speed or the level you are most suitable to

I really enjoy the lessons that Paul teaches. I just find the lessons really interesting to learn. I would thoroughly recommend him if anyone is interested in the subject of Astrology. He is the most amazing tutor. He also explains it in a way to suit your or your child's needs

This was my first lesson in Astronomy with Johnathan. He explains things in a way that I can understand it. I really enjoyed it
