Reviews for tutors in Leek

My son is doing so well with Jonathan. He is a superb tutor and a great ambassador for your company. Alice M
Leek

Jonathan has been tutoring my son in GCSE Science Trilogy, and Geography for the last year. Jonathan's input has been a great success. He inspired my son and quickly formed an excellent bond, which resulted in hard work and enthusiasm from an otherwise academically rather unenthusiastic young man - so much so that my son actually looked forward to his tutorials - a real achievement. My son's knowledge has improved a great deal and he was much more confident going into his exams than he's been in the past. Jonathan has put a great deal of work and thought into this year, and I wholeheartedly recommend his work to anyone looking for GCSE assistance. Gemma Adele
Leek

Miss Watterson has been a really great teacher for my child who was struggling with her maths. She broke it down into small steps that my daughter could understand and the improvement has been amazing. Thank you very much! Mrs Ward
Leek

Excellent teacher who supported our daughter through her English Literature A Level through flexible distance learning. Would rexommend. Mrs Milbourn

My daughter found the lesson she had with her very useful, many thanks Mrs Pascoe

Natalie has tutored a group of students in Year 6 for around 12 weeks. Before tutoring the students lacked confidence in Maths and were not working at the expected level for Year 6. All of the students that Natalie tutored passed their SATs test this Summer and thoroughly enjoyed their sessions with Natalie. Amazing! Susan

Finding you has changed everything, I couldn't believe the difference in his confidence and understanding after the first hour with you. Someone confirming my belief in his ability has been a long time coming! My son's grade went from 5 to 8, all because of your hard work with him. This is exactly why education needs teachers like you! Gemma
Leek

Katie tutored our daughter for two years and her understanding of chemistry increased phenomenally. She exceeded her target grade and instead of hating chemistry, which she did in the beginning she came to really enjoy it. Katie was always enthusiastic and went above and beyond for our daughter. Lessons were tailored to target the areas she struggled with and it was obvious Katie did a lot of work outside of the sessions to help our daughter to make progress. Miguel And Bianca

The Leek area has 21 primary schools (one of the top being St Mary's Catholic Academy with 22% of pupils achieving at a higher standard).

Leek secondary school performance:

The Leek area has 6 secondary schools (one of the top being Westwood College with 44% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths GCSEs).

From their latest Oftsed report:
“Teaching is good overall, with some lessons being outstanding and others satisfactory. Teachers have strong subject knowledge and there is a purposeful atmosphere for learning. However, opportunities to develop speaking and listening are not always taken, teachers use a limited range of questioning styles and activities are not always matched to the needs of the most-able students. In some lessons opportunities to further students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding are missed.”

The Leek local authority has an average of 37% of students achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths GCSEs (vs England's average of 43%). And has an average of 95% of students either staying in education or entering employment after GCSEs (vs England's average of 94%).

There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a teacher coming to your home in Leek 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 Leek. 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 Leek 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.
