Isla B
Isla has been an excellent maths tutor for my daughter, and the impact of her teaching was evident almost immediately. After just one session, my daughter felt noticeably more confident and positive about maths, which was a significant change following a difficult transition from primary to secondary school.
Isla has a calm, thoughtful teaching style and takes time to ensure concepts are properly understood rather than rushed. She explains ideas clearly, checks understanding carefully, and adapts her explanations to suit the learner, which has helped my daughter feel secure and willing to ask questions.
Isla is particularly effective at rebuilding confidence while maintaining high expectations, and she strikes a strong balance between encouragement and challenge.
What has stood out most is Isla’s ability to create a safe, supportive learning environment while also helping my daughter adjust to the pace, structure, and methods expected in secondary maths.
She has supported consolidation of Year 7 content and helped bridge differences between primary approaches and the more formal methods used in high school.
As a parent, I have seen both academic and emotional progress. My daughter now approaches maths with greater resilience and self-belief.

I cannot recommend her enough!!

Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in Richmond upon Thames come to us. A tutor can provide personalised, one-to-one support that helps your child consolidate what they've learned in a busy classroom, build confidence in weaker areas, and feel prepared rather than overwhelmed.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form place. Can a tutor help with their GCSEs?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can create a tailored revision plan, work through past papers, and focus on the specific topics your child needs to master to secure the top grades needed for their chosen A-Levels and sixth form.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for who they are. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session.

Every child learns at a different pace, but the one-to-one focus means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs. The tutor might start by reviewing a topic from the last lesson, then introduce a new concept using the interactive whiteboard, and finish by working through practice questions or a past paper together. It's all about what will help your child the most.
