Reviews for tutors in Thame

4.9

Simon tutored both of my grandchildren (aged 8 and 10), both of whom have Special Educational Needs. His support in English and Maths, along with the 11+ preparation, was second to none. The boys absolutely loved their sessions with Simon, and he was very intuitive about which approach would work best. I would highly recommend Simon! Mrs D Gibb
Thame

Simon spent more than a year helping our son with his English and Maths. He was really struggling due to moving from Poland to Oxford, but Simon really helped him to gain confidence and knowledge, which has now paved the way for his future education. Thank you, Simon! Mr S Jacobs
Thame

Laura tutored GCSE science to my daughter for two years. Throughout that time, my daughter enjoyed her sessions and found Laura's teaching easy to understand, follow, engaging and effective. Laura's explanations were clear and concise, enabling my daughter to increase her GCSE science grade from 3 to a successful pass at a grade 5. My daughter was very happy with this! I have no hesitation in recommending Laura as a science tutor. Ms Cohen

Laura is a highly dedicated teacher and tutor. I have had the privilege of working with Laura for four years and I have been consistently impressed by her commitment, enthusiasm, and expertise. Laura is a hardworking and bubbly individual who possesses an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. Her ability to convey complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner is truly exceptional. She has a unique talent for breaking down difficult topics and presenting them in a way that resonates with her students. One of Laura's most commendable qualities is her commitment to engaging her students. She employs a wide range of teaching strategies and activities to ensure that her students remain actively involved and interested in the learning process. Her classrooms are dynamic and interactive, creating an environment that fosters curiosity and a love for learning. Laura is not only a proficient teacher but also an approachable and compassionate mentor. She takes the time to understand the individual needs and learning styles of her students, adapting her teaching methods accordingly. Her patience and willingness to provide additional support to those who may be struggling sets her apart as an educator. In summary, Laura is an outstanding teacher and tutor who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the success of her students. Her depth of knowledge, clarity in explanations, and innovative teaching methods make her a valuable asset to any educational institution or tutoring program. I have no doubt that she will continue to inspire and positively impact the lives of those she teaches. Ms Tang

Excellent and reliable - saw great progress during time worked with our daughter Mrs Jessop

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 Thame 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 Thame. 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 Thame 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.
