Definitely. A great tutor is also a great mentor. By creating a supportive, low-pressure environment, they can help rebuild your child's confidence and foster a more positive attitude towards learning, which often has a wonderful impact on their wellbeing and their results.

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, to ensure peace of mind for parents.
