Reviews for tutors in Thornbury

4.9

My daughter G was unsure of some of her Maths concepts, but after help from Marie, she did really well in her Y6 SATS. G loved the way Marie explained everything to her so clearly and with so much patience, and she gained so much confidence. Mrs Studzinski
Thornbury

I really love having her tutor me. She is so kind, and funny and always helps me do my absolute best in my writing. When I do something that doesn't sound right, she doesn't tell me to do it again, instead, she gives me suggestions on how to change it to sound perfect. I think my writing skills have got ten times better, and my arsenal of tricks has increased. Riley, Aged 12
Thornbury

The process of getting paired with a teacher was very easy and I had the opportunity to have trial classes before making a decision. Jill is a wonderful person, my daughter bonded with her right from the start. She is friendly and encourages my daughter to put in her best. We will miss working with her. Mrs Saheed-alalade
Thornbury

Jill is an amazing teacher, helpful and optimistic. Her knowledge is wide and she managed to help our daughter to fully understand some lessons and catch up with the program. Mrs Divjak
Thornbury

I would highly recommend Rachel as a tutor, especially given her exceptional work over the past three years with my two sons, who have special educational needs (SEN). Rachel has a remarkable ability to engage with children, adapting her teaching style to meet their individual needs effectively. Her patience and understanding have made a significant difference in their learning journey, demonstrating her dedication and skill in catering to diverse learning abilities. Rachel's approach is not only professional but also incredibly personal, ensuring that each child feels valued and supported. Her contribution to my son's education has been invaluable, and I am confident she will bring the same level of commitment and excellence to any teaching role. Irena Filipowska

Rachel was an amazing tutor for our child. She supported and built on her knowledge, resulting in passing her entrance exam with flying colours. Rachel was a pleasure to have in the house, and her communication and flexibility around sessions were always clear. My daughter's confidence increased during these sessions. Bryony

Hannah is a great Politics tutor. She explained the syllabus very clearly for my daughter, and went at my daughter's pace. Hannah is very knowledgeable, knows her subject well. Miss De Boehmler
Thornbury

Hannah has been fantastic at working with my son and boosting his low mock grade. She quickly got the measure of him and put actions in place to support his learning. Mrs Foran

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 Thornbury 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 Thornbury. 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 Thornbury 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.
