Why a Strong SATs Performance Matters for Their Future in Basingstoke
For many secondary schools in the area, including sought-after ones like The Costello School, your child's SATs results are the first key piece of academic information they see. These scores often play a big part in determining the sets they are placed in for core subjects like Maths and English. A strong performance helps ensure they are in a group where they are challenged appropriately, building a solid foundation that directly impacts their confidence and their path towards achieving the best possible GCSE grades later on.

Personalised SATs Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor takes the time to get to know your child as an individual. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They’ll quickly spot whether it’s fractions causing a frown or grammar rules that aren't quite clicking, and they'll adapt their teaching style to match the way your child learns best. This personal approach helps turn 'I can't do it' into 'I understand'. Every 60-minute session is planned around your child's specific needs. It's their time to ask the questions they might be too shy to ask in a busy classroom. They can work through tricky long division problems at their own pace or get extra practice with reading comprehension until they feel secure. It's this focused support that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding that support is simple and fits around your family's life. You can browse background-checked tutors from across the UK and find the perfect match for your child's personality and your budget. With lessons happening online from the comfort of your home, there’s no travel time to worry about, making it easy to fit regular, effective support around school and other activities.

Christy J
Christy showed extreme patience with my son during his English SATs tutoring.
Her tutoring style was such that she always kept him engaged and interested in his sessions.
The results have been seen already from his mock results. He has improved in all sections of his English SATs.
Christy provided homework in the form of spellings that we were able to practice in-between sessions.
She also worked with my son on past papers with him completing these under exam conditions.
I am so grateful to Christy and all the work and supports she did with my son.
I will be using her again in the future for other subjects.
Thank you Christy

Very friendly and engaging with my son (year 6 / KS2), making it enjoyable for him rather than ‘more school’. Early days but progress clearly visible which is great. Would highly recommend.

Luke S
My son aged 10 has been having online lessons with Luke in reading comprehension for the past 4 weeks . My son has never had tuition before so was unsure how he would find it especially online. From the first lesson Luke made my son feel relaxed and comfortable and I was surprised how my son engaged with the lesson. With each week my son confidence has grown, he isn't afraid to ask questions or admit if he doesn't know the answer. Luke is patient and kind and really knows how to make a student engage in each lesson. My son leaves each lesson very happy, which is a joy to see your child enjoying learning.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
With SATs results influencing Year 7 sets in Basingstoke schools, how can a tutor really help?
A great tutor does more than just 'teach to the test'. They focus on building a genuine understanding of the core Maths and English topics your child might be struggling with. By filling these knowledge gaps, your child not only feels more confident for the exams but also has a much stronger foundation for secondary school, which is exactly what helps them succeed in Year 7 and beyond.
My child is hoping to attend The Costello School. Can a tutor help them feel ready for Year 7?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help build the academic skills and confidence your child needs to make a smooth and successful transition to any secondary school. By ensuring they are secure in their Key Stage 2 learning, they'll be ready to tackle the new challenges of Year 7 from their very first day.
How do I choose the right SATs tutor for my child?
Finding the perfect match is easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to see who you feel is the best fit for your child's personality and learning style before booking a lesson.
How much does an online SATs tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience, so you can find a brilliant, background-checked tutor who fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing work, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help my child with confidence, not just their results?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together is a huge confidence booster.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. All lessons also take place on our secure platform.
Are your tutors qualified to teach for the SATs?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Many of our SATs tutors are qualified teachers with years of classroom experience, so they have an excellent understanding of the curriculum and what examiners are looking for.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Many parents find that a one-hour lesson once a week provides the consistency needed to build knowledge and confidence in the run-up to the SATs.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other interests?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can definitely help your child prepare for their SATs, they could also learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language. It's all about helping them discover and grow their passions.
What happens after I've chosen a tutor?
Once you've found a tutor you like, simply send them a message to ask any questions and arrange a time for your first lesson. You can then book and pay securely through the Tutorful platform. It's that straightforward.
