Reviews for tutors in Canterbury

Kathy tutored my son through his GCSE Maths, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Oliver has Asperger's Syndrome and ADD, so finding the right tutor for him was paramount to his success. He believed he would fail, but she never gave up on him. Without Kathy, Oliver would not have passed his GCSE Maths. She was patient, calm and able to explain things in a way he understood, adapting her teaching as needed if things didn't make sense to him. I can honestly say I believe that he wouldn't have achieved the success he did without her. Mrs Sarah Todd

Denise is tutoring my son for his English Language GCSE. She is extremely patient and professional, and although my son really struggles with English and dislikes his lessons at school, he enjoys his sessions with Denise. She is extremely conscientious and gives thought to different approaches and resources that might help my son to pass his exam. My son has special needs, including ADHD and dyslexia, and Denise manages to hold his attention for 90-minute sessions and make the tutorials enjoyable - a real achievement! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Denise - she is an excellent English teacher, thoughtful, kind and approachable. Ms A Williams
Canterbury

Denise is a reliable individual dedicated to helping her students achieve their goals through her passion, skills, and unique teaching abilities, which I feel is a crucial characteristic within this role. Likewise, Denise can adjust to her student's individual needs. She has strong communication skills and gives instructions clearly and concisely, which is another quality that is essential for a teacher. Alongside confidence building, Denise helps with planning, time management, and structuring and helps students communicate the complexity of their work. She is also a kind-hearted, considerate person who cares deeply for others and goes above and beyond to assist them. Ms T Messina

I just wanted to say a massive thank you from all of us. We are really happy we met you and wish we had known about you from the start! You have been absolutely brilliant with Monty, and we really appreciate your patience with him....thank you for everything! Jo
Canterbury

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the incredible support and guidance you provided to our daughter during her GCSE preparation. Your dedication and expertise made a significant difference, and we truly believe that without your tuition, our daughter would not have achieved as much as she has. We are deeply grateful for your patience, encouragement, and the confidence you instilled in our daughter. Your impact has been invaluable, and we can't thank you enough for all your hard work. Mrs S

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a teacher coming to your home in Canterbury to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the tutor is required to travel to your home, in Canterbury. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group tuition in Canterbury depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
