That's where we come in. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions, and we match your child with a specialist tutor who really understands the admissions process. Even when you can't help with the subject, you can still help them.

This isn't just about passing a test. It’s about setting them up for a positive start at their next school. When a child feels capable and confident, they’re ready to learn, engage, and make the most of the opportunities ahead.

Nick H
Expert Independent School Admissions tutor
Hello to all Tutora website visitors.
I assume that you must be searching for that elusive tutor who can miraculously upgrade your son or daughter's performance in the minimum number of weeks possible.
Having taught in a state primary school for 22 years, and then as a one-to-one tutor for the last 6, I can assure you that such achievements occasionally happen, but often take far longer. Delusions over - I hope not!
However, I like to aim high! If the potential is there, my role is to help release it. Nevertheless, I am realistic too. Sometimes a quick fix works miracles and all the doors...

Iain M
Iain has helped to tutor my 10 year old for the last 3 months to help prepare him for a common entrance exam. My son had all the enthusiasm to engage in additional lessons that a typical 10 year old would have but Iain was quick to figure my son out and won him over so lessons never became a chore.
Iain identified the areas that needed improvement and boosted my son’s confidence. My son went from scoring 15/40 in weekly maths tests to 35/40.
We are yet to get the results of the exam but he helped my son’s confidence hugely and has helped to consolidate the skills he has been taught at primary school. Thankyou so much.
