The Best Private Tutors in Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

My daughter has found tuition at Xcelerate Academy really helpful to support her work at school and sessions engaging. There is a relaxed atmosphere for students to ask questions. It is reassuring to have the opportunity to gain additional support if required.

Xcelerate academy has provided my nephew with a great experience with regard to his education with the additional tuition they offer. The team are really helpful aiding with the development of my nephew with reports with his progress, as well as the teaching staff working with him, ensuring challenging concepts are made understandable. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting their children to achieve higher grades, whilst providing outstanding services and facilities to assist with their development outside what normal schools offer.

I have achieved greater grades in maths English and science. I have understood the teachers very well that I have succeeded highly in my tests. I highly recommend Xcelerate academy.

My son has been attending the academy for a few months-i have really noticed confidence improve in all areas for him. The setting is convenient, resourceful and appropriate, with spacious classrooms and small group classes. The management are very approachable, always aiming the best standards of learning and teaching for the best interest of the child. My son has gained alot of valuable study skills and advise from the management team. Both lads go out of their way and always are helpful and a listening ear for parents and the child. The team are promptly available to answer any queries, out of school/class hours and they also provide small group online classes too. My son enjoys attending the classes every week without any hesitation! Thank you Accelerate Academy for providing affordable teaching support for my child!

My daughter, Aiyla not only enjoyed her lessons very much but achieved one of the highest grades in her GCSEs in French thanks to Lawrence, he was encouraging, patient and an excellent teacher.

Lawrence is an excellent tutor who greatly helped me with English literature and language GCSEs. With his help, I have achieved grade 8s, which was far above my predicted grade 6s. His teaching style ensures that you gain a better understanding of the subject and allows the application of skills in an exam setting.

We had a very positive experience with Lawrence, who taught our son both Maths and English, for a few months coming up to GCSE exams. I think that it's really helped our son's confidence, and almost certainly will have helped the grades too. Lawrence is very patient, enthusiastic, and clearly relates well to children/ teenagers of this sort of age.

We were looking for a tutor to help our 13 year old daughter and Lawrence was recommended by a friend. Our daughter sat in the middle of the pack in terms of marks within her class and in our opinion, she was getting overlooked and needed some extra tuition and encouragement. Lawrence has brought her on leaps and bounds with her maths and in her last test, came top of the class. He has a calm and welcoming nature about him and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in similar circumstances to us.

My daughter is doing GCSE English and is benefiting from the extra tuition. Ruth is very approachable and helps build confidence, she tailors the tuition to the child's needs.

Fantastic group. My daughter was really struggling at year 5 maths, with First Class Learning support she is improving so much and gained much more confidence. So happy and highly recommended.

I'm really grateful to The Tutor Centre for the incredible turnaround they've achieved with my son's education since starting in Year 8 when he was struggling in Maths, English, and Science. He was in low sets at school and had no confidence. But thanks to the dedication and hard work of The Tutor Centre, he has been jumping sets and has advanced to the top sets for Year 11. He's now being entered for higher GCSE tiers in Maths and Triple Science and his confidence has seen a massive boost. I am now enrolling my year 4 son to get him a head start in education and not waiting until year 8 :-). His time at the Tutor Centre has also seen a total change in mindset from not being interested in academic achievement to a highly motivated student with aspirations to achieve the highest GCSE grades across all subjects, not just the three he is being tutored in at The Tutor Centre. I cannot recommend the Tutor Centre enough.

🙂 My child has been receiving tuition in English and Maths with The Tutor Centre since September 2023. Months later, it's an absolute joy to see my daughter feeling confident when doing her Maths, a subject she once dreaded. She is learning so much from the tutor when it comes to her Narrative/Descriptive writing aswell, I am so grateful to the tutor for this. My daughter finds the lessons fun, engaging and differentiated to suit her ability. She thoroughly enjoys her lessons and looks forward to seeing the other students that are part of the class. My daughter's school assessment scores this Spring compared to last Autumn show a huge improvement. This is reassuring. A massive thank to the tutor who works really hard every Sunday to help build my child's confidence. Thank you 🙂!

I'm elated to share that my son has secured a 7 in his Maths GCSE results! The exceptional Math tuition he received at the Tutor Centre proved instrumental in realizing his academic ambitions. A heartfelt thank you to the Tutor Centre for their invaluable support.

Absolutely brilliant tutors with great encouraging environment. My son is in year 6 , he has gone from expected to greater depth in English within the span of 6 months. I am always happily recommending them to all my friends too .

She is extremely dedicated and supportive! My daughter 8y old goes there twice a week and by two months I can see improvement. She’s best both in English and Maths. Also, best price on the market. Couldn’t be happier!!!

I recommend Manpreet to those children who struggle with Maths and English. She is very friendly and super patient with my son and gives him lots of ideas how to learn to achive his goals. She is also flexible with her lessons. If my son can’t attend in person there is option for online lessons, which is very handy.

Shaun is a wonderful tutor that’s been helping my daughters a lot. He’s flexible and really approachable.

Both Manpreet and Shaun are amazing tutors , they work with my daughter at her pace . They exactly know where she needs support and take time to explain and then would further check her understanding. Their coaching model is very unique and truly designed to ensure that you child excels . My daughter has moved from expected to above expected in her subjects in such a short space of time and all credit goes to both tutors. We had many private tuitions in past and I wish we had come across Heatherton tutors lot before . Super happy with the way they help my daughter with her studies . Thank you so much for what you both do . Best Tutors ever.

Hi, I’ve seen positive results within 3 months. My daughter has moved up a set in maths after only a couple of months. As a parent I can see her confidence has grown since she has been attending this private maths class. She’s headed in the right direction. I’d definitely recommend ‘The Tutor Centre’ to others.

Such an excellent maths tutor, can highly recommend. Graham has helped our son so much with his A-Level maths and has really built his confidence in his ability. Graham is so easy to get on with, very patient and understanding and always explains things so well.

My step son was struggling with Maths due to learning a new language and everything that relocating to a new country brings with it. Because he was struggling he had been placed in a lower maths group at school which was full of kids who had no interest and disrupted lessons. I had to do something and I'm pleased that Mr Walton was recommended to me. Graham Walton was superb in every aspect and my son progressed well with his Maths and my only regret is not asking for help sooner. Graham has a calm manner and seems to know just how to push and encourage at the same time. Graham certainly earned my sons trust and he really looked forward to his weekly tuition. My son said Graham was a cool teacher. Praise indeed. Highly recommended if your child needs help.

We cannot thank and recommend Graham enough, for all the help he has given our daughter with her maths. She has gone from not feeling great about the subject, to sitting her GCSE exams feeling happy and confident. Thankyou Graham, you've been amazing.

Outstanding Tutoring! Graham was recommended by a friend for my son to help to fill gaps in his Higher Maths knowledge prior to his GCSE exams. Graham is an amazing tutor - not only has the tutoring made a significant difference in my son’s Maths ability, his confidence in the subject has also soared. He thoroughly enjoys the lessons and wants to continue tutor sessions with Graham for A Level Maths. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent, reliable tutor who truly makes a difference!

Mrs.O’Brien offers a huge amount of help with maths tutoring for more than just maths.So offering great tutoring at all levels in maths, and maths content in physics, chemistry and Business studies.She has a very approachable manner and makes the students feel at ease very quickly. She creates an easy atmosphere so students feel relaxed to ask questions, without feeling self conscious.She can also flex to add additional sessions in holidays or for when a maths test is coming at school-This is greatly appreciated ! She has given my child a greater confidence and skills to face her maths GCSEs. Thank you.

I started tuition here recently because I was struggling at maths, I've been to many other tuition places, and this has to be the best one I've been to by far, because as soon as I started tuition here my grades skyrocketed and i moved up 2 sets in school. Mrs o brien is very nice and respectful, she is an amazing tutor. (She is very experienced and very friendly) She has helped me alot. I would definitely 100% recommend this tuition to anyone struggling in science or maths. Prices are very fair and cheap aswell. -Year 11 secondary school student

Mrs O’Brien’s method of teaching in Maths and Science has been phenomenal in helping my granddaughter achieve top grades in both subjects and her confidence has skyrocketed. Mrs O’Brien has an effective way of teaching as an experienced, patient and engaging tutor, that my grandson has now asked to attend her lessons. She has certainly helped my grandchildren to succeed in life. Thank you from a very proud Nana.

Mrs O’Brien is a fantastic tutor. Our son’s confidence in maths and predicted grade has improved immensely under Mrs O’Brien’s support. Mrs O’Brien focuses on a child’s maths needs and provides clear and targeted support. She also ensures a child acquires a solid foundation in the fundamentals of maths. Mrs O’Brien very much follows the saying “simplicity is genius” and has opened up maths to our son in an engaging, positive and understandable way. Thank you!
