Real UK Families. Real Academic Results.
"My daughter was in Year 2 and really struggling with phonics. She was below the expected level and we were worried about the screening check. Her StudyHours tutor made every lesson fun with songs and games. She passed the phonics check with flying colours and is now a confident reader."
— Sarah M., Parent, London
"My son was in Year 6 and panicking about his SATs. The tutor covered every topic on the maths and English papers, gave him timed practice, and taught him exam techniques we'd never thought of. He achieved 'Greater Depth' in both subjects and got into our first-choice grammar school."
— James K., Parent, Manchester
"The KS3 tutor was brilliant at helping my daughter transition from primary to secondary. She was overwhelmed by the amount of homework and new subjects. The tutor taught her organisation skills, note-taking, and how to manage her time. By Year 8, she was thriving."
— Priya T., Parent, Birmingham
"My son needed A-Level Maths tutoring for his Cambridge application. The tutor was a former Cambridge maths student who knew the STEP admissions test inside out. He got A*A*A and is now reading Mathematics at Cambridge. The investment was absolutely worth it."
— Robert L., Parent, Oxfordshire

Everything UK Parents Need to Know About Online Tutoring
How does online tutoring work for young primary children? +
Our platform is designed with young learners in mind. Sessions for EYFS and KS1 students are typically 30-45 minutes to match attention spans. Tutors use interactive whiteboards, educational games, songs, and visual aids to keep children engaged. Parents can sit in on sessions, and all lessons are recorded for safeguarding. Many parents find online tutoring more convenient than travelling to a tutor's home.
Are your tutors familiar with the UK National Curriculum? +
Absolutely. Every tutor is a UK-qualified educator with direct experience teaching the National Curriculum. They know the programmes of study, the assessment objectives, and the specific demands of UK assessments like the Phonics Screening Check, SATs, 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels.
Can you help with SATs preparation? +
Yes — SATs preparation is one of our specialities. We offer focused SATs booster programmes for Year 2 (KS1 SATs) and Year 6 (KS2 SATs), covering reading comprehension, maths reasoning & arithmetic, and SPaG. Our tutors use past papers, timed practice, and confidence-building techniques to ensure children perform at their best.
Do you offer 11+ entrance exam tutoring? +
Yes. Our 11+ tutors specialise in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English comprehension, and maths problem-solving — the four components of most grammar school entrance exams. We also provide interview preparation for independent school applications. Many of our tutors have successfully coached students into grammar schools across the UK.
What if the tutor isn't the right fit for my child? +
Your first lesson is completely free, so there's no risk. If the match isn't perfect, we'll find a replacement tutor at no extra cost. We also encourage a brief 'get to know you' call before the first session. Our matching success rate is 96%, but your child's comfort is our priority.
How do you track my child's progress against the National Curriculum? +
Parents receive access to our Progress Dashboard, which maps your child's learning against National Curriculum levels and age-related expectations. You'll see: lesson summaries, topics mastered, assessment scores, predicted grades, and tutor feedback. We also schedule termly review calls to discuss progress and adjust the learning plan.
Do you offer support for students with SEN? +
Yes. We have dedicated SEN tutors with specialist training in supporting students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other learning differences. Our tutors adapt teaching methods, session length, and pace to meet each child's needs, and we work closely with parents and SENCOs where appropriate.
Which Key Stages and year groups do you cover? +
We cover every stage of the UK education system: EYFS (ages 3-5), Reception, Years 1-2 (KS1), Years 3-6 (KS2), Years 7-9 (KS3), Years 10-11 (GCSE), and Years 12-13 (A-Level). We also support students taking the International Baccalaureate and IGCSE at UK international schools.
Can you help with the transition between Key Stages? +
Absolutely. Transitions — particularly from KS2 to KS3 and from GCSE to A-Level — are where many students struggle. Our tutors specialise in bridging these gaps, ensuring students maintain momentum, develop the right study skills, and feel confident in their new academic environment.
Is there a minimum commitment or contract? +
No. While we recommend at least a term of regular sessions for meaningful progress, you can book flexibly. Our packages offer the best value, but single sessions are available for ad-hoc support before assessments or for specific topic help. You can pause, resume, or cancel at any time.
