Reviews for tutors in Oakham

Dear Dr Chilton, I can't thank you enough. Thank you so so so much. I don't deserve such a dedicated mentor not only for your physics skill, but for being a true role model. I cannot thank you enough for this. The only way I can think of repaying you is by working my socks off the next weeks to achieve the highest grade I'm capable of. Really thank you, again. I'm.. Dumbfounded really. Thank you. Yours, Ben Mr Ben Wind

Hi Dr. C! I didn't get the chance to tell you how much I enjoyed physics with you, so I thought I'd just send an Email! You taught with such deep passion and understanding, paired with so much humour and irony that I actually enjoyed Physics for once! We had covered the overwhelming majority of the content but I became so much more comfortable with the topics than I was before. Also, when you first said helping others was one of your top 3 priorities I wasn't too sure what to think of that, but I am now completely convinced and blown away by your willingness to dedicate so much time and energy in helping and teaching others!! I also loved your comment about school grades not being more important than everything else! So basically, please keep being you :) All the best, Karlina Miss Karlina Reisgen

Lydia has helped me in my AQA biology A-Level. We have recently been through the more challenging topics of the specification, and she has helped me look at the content from a new perspective, which was a struggle before, and now I can answer easily. We have also been through some exam techniques in 'evaluate' questions, which has allowed me to get a better grasp of what the question is really trying to ask, permitting me to strive for top marks. A great biology tutor I highly recommend! Louis Batty

My son has Sen and Suzanne spent time getting to know him and understand him in the first few weeks to gain his trust. She is a patient and understanding teacher who knows just how to pitch the lessons for the individual child so my son, who struggles with concentration can work through the whole hour. My son enjoys his lessons with her and has made great improvements in his learning since starting with Suzanne. Miss Hart

Sally began tutoring my daughter, Holly, for GCSE Biology in January 2022, just after Holly began her education outside of school programme. From their first meeting, Sally was kind, calm and professional. She took the time to get to know Holly and adapted well to any feedback given about Holly's special educational needs. Their working relationship blossomed through a mutual love of cats, and Holly then asked to study GCSE Chemistry with Sally, in addition to Biology. This posed a potential challenge as Holly had missed yrs 7-9 in chemistry so was effectively starting from scratch. Sally mapped out the GCSE curriculum content to ensure that we could cover all the content in time for Holly to take exams in May/June 2023. Sally was always well prepared for lessons and has an excellent subject knowledge, including about the exam syllabuses, and which topics are covered at GCSE or A Level. Sally was always punctual to lessons and I found her to be completely reliable. Sally was also flexible with her lesson timings, particularly around exam revision, which was so helpful. Sally always encouraged Holly to believe in herself, and her ability. Sally was the predictable and dependable presence that Holly needed each week to enable her to achieve the best she could in science. Holly achieved a Grade 8 in Biology and a Grade 7 in Chemistry, which is astounding when you consider how much secondary schooling she had missed due to illness, before starting lessons with Sally. Sally worked very well as part of Holly's team of tutors, always attending Teaching Team meetings and giving insightful feedback. She also consistently produced comprehensive termly reports on Holly's progress. One of the things I appreciated most about Sally is the care she had for Holly. She would willingly listen to feedback and make any changes needed to best meet Holly's needs and showed seemingly unending patience! I would highly recommend Sally if you are considering a science tutor, either for home education or to complement schooling. Laura

Michael recently delivered two revision sessions to my son, who is currently studying GCSE Psychology. The revision sessions were thoroughly prepared and organised, Michael ensured he was fully aware of any gaps in my son's knowledge and covered these areas in the revision sessions. My son found the sessions really useful and he felt he had a better understanding of the areas he was struggling with. Some of the areas covered in the sessions came up in my son's first exam so he was really pleased. I would highly recommend Michael as a tutor! Mrs Emily Jeffery

Rikie was a great tutor for our daughter while studying for A-Level History. He was really personable and able to break down key concepts in a way that made learning easy. Rikie's knowledge as an A-Level examiner also meant that he knew exactly what was needed to achieve the highest grades. Highly recommended. Mrs Fiona Runcorn

We have used Rikie for both our son (GCSE) and our daughter (GCSE & A-Level). He is a highly experienced teacher who we have recommended to friends and family. Mr Russell Morrison

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 Oakham 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 Oakham. 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 Oakham 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.
