Reviews for tutors in Penrith

4.9

Jo tutored my son Alex in person for his physics and maths GCSE. His confidence with these subjects improved, and in particular, he completely got the hang of electric circuits, which he had always struggled with, so he was able to tackle questions. He went up several grades from his mocks to his final grade. Jo was approachable, patient and flexible to fit Alex's needs. I would highly recommend her as a tutor. David Briggs
Penrith

Jude has worked with both of my children over the last year. Her support has been exceptional. Her explanations are clear, the pace of learning is swift without feeling rushed, and both children made notable progress during the weekly sessions. My daughter has said her maths is much improved, as is her confidence and enjoyment of the subject. I would highly recommend Jude to anyone. Becki Schofield
Penrith

We couldn't be happier with Jude who has been tutoring my two children for over three years. Jude takes the time to really get to know the child , she finds their weaknesses and strengths, builds their confidence and improves their skills and understanding quickly. Would recommend Jude without any hesitation. Julia Douglas
Penrith

Mr Cuthbertson was a friendly, helpful and well-qualified teacher who helped our son achieve a grade 8 in his GCSEs in 2023. Cannot recommend enough. Mrs A Thompson
Penrith

Mr Cuthbertson was thorough in preparing our son for his GCSEs. Thanks very much! Mr Ahmed
Penrith

Judith has been tutoring my daughter, currently in Year 11, for almost two years. We lived abroad for a number of years and when we returned to the UK my daughter had a lack of confidence in maths as well as a number of gaps in her learning. Judith was able to quickly assess where my daughter needed additional support in her maths and work with her to improve her confidence. Judith is extremely organised, often sending through worksheets and old exam papers for us to print off. She has also recommended a number of revision materials for GCSE. Due to Covid, all lessons were carried out on Zoom. The Zoom sessions worked really well for us and most importantly my daughter really enjoyed them. I would thoroughly recommend Judith. In fact, I have 2 younger children and I am likely to be in touch with Judith in the near future to ask for her support. Mrs R H

How are Penrith schools performing?

We connect you to the best teachers who work across several of the best primary and secondary schools in Penrith (some detailed below). This means we can reliably provide you with a local and experienced tutor that fits your needs.

The Penrith area has 24 primary schools (one of the top being Greystoke Primary School with 33% of pupils achieving at a higher standard).

From their latest Oftsed report:
“Children make good progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage and pupils’ overall attainment is above average by the end of Year 6, and well above average in English.

The Penrith local authority has an average of 66% of students meeting the expected standards in reading, writing, and maths at primary school age (vs England's average of 65%). And has an average of 9% achieving higher standard (vs England's average of 11%).

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