Reviews for tutors in Plymouth

My son Jack had Maths and English lessons with Mr Wright in order to improve is level of understanding for Jack's 11+ examination. Jack is now in year 7 at Devonport High School for Boys. So pleased for his help. Roger Cole, Plymstock
Plymouth

Mr Wright was well liked by my son. He enjoyed his Mathematics and benefitted from his help. Mrs Yumei Ellis, Mutley Plymouth
Plymouth

Tim has worked with my 15 year old son for more than four years. He has adhd and ASD. Tim has built a great relationship with him such that this reluctant learner now can't wait for the next maths or English session. Under Tim's guidance, he recently completed a 12,000 word book that he will be self-publishing. Tim is kind and very conscientious: I've seen him take extraordinary care to build trust with anxious kids and maintain it over years. Andy Mason
Plymouth

Thank you, Paul, for giving my daughter confidence and belief in herself. My daughter has always done well in maths but struggles in exam conditions and when under pressure. Paul manages to help her understand what mistakes she is making and how not to make them again. He is calm and patient, and my daughter really enjoys learning with him, saying, "I learnt more in that hour than I did during the whole of this term." I highly recommend him. Kerry Petch
Plymouth

I can highly recommend Paul to help your child ensure they get what they need within their learning while having tutoring. I can remember my sister-in-law using Paul a few years ago to bring my nephews on for their GCSEs. She was very impressed, as were the teenage boys! Always a hard one to crack. Once my 9-year-old started acting up in school due to struggling with his learning, I was adamant he needed extra help and remembered my sister-in-law's comments about Paul. I was delighted to learn he taught primary years also. My boy is excited to do his extra learning each week and has come along massively with his confidence within his learning. Anything he is struggling with in school Paul scoops up with extra help as well as concentrating on the areas that need attention. Kelly Bellamy
Plymouth

Lisa is a fantastic tutor! Dedicated, patient, hardworking and has a made a big difference to my son's English in a short space of time. Many thanks Lisa! Mrs Power
Plymouth

We were so impressed with Lisa's dedication to the lessons and thoughtful/insightful commentary on work done outside of lesson time. She gave my daughter a huge amount of confidence in a subject she was feeling worried about and completely turned around her experience of sitting the exams. Lisa equipped my daughter with the tools necessary to achieve higher marks in her GCSEs and we will definitely be getting back in touch when the time comes for my other daughters! Mrs Snape
Plymouth

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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth. 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 Plymouth 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.
