The Best Private Tutors in Buckhorn Weston, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

We have been so pleased with how well our daughter has settled into the year 6 tutor group. Sophie has a lovely warm classroom enviroment and she is so approachable and makes learning fun. We are impressed with our weekly feedback with topics covered but also how much our daughter actually enjoys learning. Sophie also responds to any messages really swiftly and our daughter has also benefitted from some of her one to one sessions in the holidays. It is so helpful knowing our daughter has a tutor she could ask any questions too, that may be daunting in a big school enviroment. We have already seen our child's confidence grow. Highly recommend Right Start Tutoring!

From the moment we first met Sophie we knew instantly we found the right tutor. Approachable. Kind. Understanding. My daughter couldnt stop saying how wonderful she was. Ive never seen her so excited to learn but i think thats because Sophie treats every child as an individual and meets their needs. Giving them the confidence to then thrive. I wish all teachers were like Sophie within schools because children would feel comfortable and happy and want to learn. Sophie is always on hand to help or offer advice outside of our sessions too. We feel shes like family and cant thank her enough.

Sophie provides absolutely excellent support. My little one has grown massively not just in ability but in confidence, and she is desperate to come and see you each week! Like it's a treat with a friend, and not a chore. The improvement in both maths and English across this year has been marked. Thanks very much

Sophie is an amazing tutor I only wish I had found her sooner! The communication she makes with me regarding my sons progress has been so consistent and helpful. She really goes the extra mile to cater for him and above all he has the best time!! He can’t wait to go each week! I don’t even think he sees it as learning plus his latest parents evenings at school really reflected all the hard work she has put in to boost his confidence and abilities. Thank you Sophie - I can’t recommend you enough!

Poppy offers fantastic tuition. She is reliable, friendly and creative in her teaching approach to get the best out of your child. She supported my daughter, who has moderate dyslexia, through her English GCSE’s in year 11, and as a result of her highly personalised approach, my daughter went up 4 grades. The benefits of Poppy’s teaching were also seen in many of the other subjects that my daughter studied because she was able to help my daughter develop strategies in her approach to reading, comprehension and writing and we saw her confidence develop beyond recognition. When you have a learning difference, it’s not just about the effect on education, it is also about self-esteem. I cannot thank Poppy enough for helping my daughter to realise that she can be a high achiever and a confident learner. Poppy’s approach means that my daughter has a very manageable ‘learning difference’ and no longer a ‘learning disability.’

I worked with Poppy to support one of her students who needed German tuition. Poppy was always easy to work with, professional, and courteous. I couldn't recommend her highly enough to other tutors considering working with Poppy!

Poppy has literally changed my daughters life in Maths, before Poppy she had very little confidence in her own ability and was really struggling. As the subject has changed so much since I was at school, I too was struggling to help. Poppy tailors her tutoring style to meet her needs, and my daughter looks forward to her Marhs tutor session. I have seen my daughter’s confidence grow and grow to the point of moving up a set at school! I am so thankful to her for her patience, understanding and supportive qualities. I would recommend Poppy to anyone.

We decided to get a bit of last minute help for our daughter who was struggling with her GCSE English. Poppy was absolutely fantastic! She managed to fit us in for weekly slots at her busiest time of year, and was very accommodating. My daughter was suffering from extreme anxiety and Poppy was so calm, friendly and lovely to her, making revision much more understandable. We would highly recommend Poppy to anyone needing additional support. Our daughter got a grade 2 and 3 in her English mocks, and has just received her actual results at grades 6 & 8!!! Thank you so much.

Our son has been on his learning journey with Jerome since year 3 when we noticed our child was starting to become disinterested & limited in what was being provided in his classroom. It has been close to 2 years that we have been using Jerome as a tutor & the improvement in our son's attitude towards learning has greatly improved & we had excellent results on his year end report. I cannot recommend Jerome's services enough our son is engaged and exceeding in his year group but most of all his love of learning has returned. Worth every penny!

Jerome recently helped my son with studying for the 11+ exam. My son loved the sessions, he thought Jerome explained thing's clearly, and looked forward to the sessions. He picked up a lot techniques and tips which all contributed to him passing the grammar school test comfortably. We are very happy with the service, and found Jerome to be a patient, helpful, and knowledgeable tutor and will definitely use him in the future when needed.

I highly recommend Jerome for any parent looking for a skilled and dedicated math tutor. Jerome has a unique ability to explain complex mathematical concepts in a way that is easy for students to understand. My child's confidence in math has grown significantly since working with him and their grades have improved noticeably. His patience, enthusiasm, and personalised approach to teaching make each session engaging and productive. I am grateful for the positive impact Jerome has had on my child's academic journey." Mark

Jerome tutored my daughter for just over a year for her maths GCSE and I can’t thank him enough for the encouragement and confidence he gave her. She didn’t believe she could pass a maths GCSE and when she opened her results this summer she was delighted and relieved to find she had passed!! Without Jerome, it would have been a very different outcome. If you are looking for a tutor for your child, I wholly recommend Jerome, don’t hesitate.

We have had a very positive experience with science tutoring for GCSEs using this site. The tutor Marta is very professional and friendly and my boys have enjoyed the process and I am certain it has improved their grades. The online classroom worked very well and I would highly recommend.

Happy world teachers day. You have been amazing with my daughter who was struggling with Maths and English. Maths GCSE passed. English November resit. Thank you you have given her the confidence to keep trying.

Marta is a fantastic tutor, my child studied GCSE science subjects in person and online with Marta. Both methods worked for my child and working online also helped with studying in familiar surroundings with no detracting from the lesson content . I'm pleased to say GSCE results have been great today so thank you Marta for all your help and enthusiasm

Marta has supported both my daughters with maths and sciences over the last 5 years both going through GCSE’s and some A level biology support. Marta has the ability to establish a young persons best method of learning and was able differentiate work visually to support my daughters learning style. Marta also has an amazing variety of coloured pens! Marta has been flexible with online or face to face learning and has been able to offer additional tutor slots in holidays and weekends for the lead up to exams. Marta has an abundance of patience and we would recommend her to others. A big thank you.x

I was with Katy for over a year and my experience with her was very positive, she taught me a lot and also has a great sense of humour, I really enjoyed going to school with Katy as it was fun and most importantly educational. I had a really good outcome with my gcse and I put a lot of that down to my homeschooling with Katy. I would massively recommend her!!

Katy is amazing. My son was really struggling in maths and Katy really helped with his confidence. All lessons were planned around what was upcoming in his school lessons, giving him a head start which really helped. Would 100% recommend!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone needing tutoring. So caring and compassionate, adapts lessons to students particular needs and we wouldn’t have got to passing our GCSEs without Katy.

I can’t recommend Edspired tutoring enough! Katy has been a great help and tutor for me in my education journey. She has helped me discover a different path in my career and is currently supporting me in achieving my qualifications needed. She is very talented in what she does! Thank you Katy, you are a brilliant tutor!

We would highly recommend Tim and his team of fantastic teachers. We discovered that our 15 year old son was well behind in his Maths and Science six months before his GCSE exams. He was also going through a difficult period in school at the time. Tim, Sonja and Mustapha were very positive and encouraging and patient with him. Our son also found the lessons with them to be interesting and engaging and he was able to focus the whole time. He became the top of his set within 3 months of starting lessons with them which boosted his confidence massively before his GCSE exams. We couldn't thank you enough Tim, Sonja and Mustapha.

Tim has made a huge difference in my daughter's A-Levels maths. She was really struggling to understand the jump from GCSE to A-Levels maths. Her teachers at school went through the lessons very quickly. Tim explained all the topics my daughter found difficult. As a result she went from a B to A☆. This enhanced her confidence. Tim has a very personable and easy teaching approach. I recommend him highly

We are so pleased that we contacted Tim to support our 12 year old son’s Maths learning. After some negative experiences of Maths in Year 6 and year 7, his confidence in Maths was low. He had been moved down a group after a low test result and many changes of teacher in Year 7. After an initial chat with Tim, I was so impressed with his knowledge and understanding of Maths learning. Straight away, he was able to build our son’s confidence and he started going from strength to strength. Soon, he was achieving top marks in tests and was top of his class. Consequently, he was moved up a group and is doing brilliantly. He is loving Maths again too. We can’t thank Tim enough and will certainly be contacting him again in the future

What can i say, I feel we have found the perfect tutor. Maths GCSE Chess Physics We had been struggling with our year 6 son for a couple of years as he has a natural aptitude for mathematics and was not getting any challenge from school and disengaging. After talking with numerous tutors i found Tim and had the most positive engaging conversation and his passion was unbelievable. The relationship our Son and Tim have developed is truly amazing, so much so that we have now increased lessons to include chess and Physics.......If Tim taught sewing i am sure Oscar would engage 100% he is just that kind of guy that make everything interesting. Our son is now looking to take his Maths GCSE a few years early and that is all down to Tim. he is now engaged, passionate and looks forward to every lesson. Communication is fantastic, we have regular conversations and a lot of discussions about direction and progress. Hands down the best investment we could be making for our Son ( Daughter to start shortly!!)

On a number of occasions I have handed a student on to Barney after I supported their GCSE studies, and they have done A level with him. They have all been very happy with him and successful in their aims. Barney is an exceptional Maths tutor, with great technical skills and knowledge, huge enthusiasm, warmth, humour and integrity.

Barney has been tutoring my son for Math’s GCSE. He’s far and away the best tutor we’ve seen. He knows his subject matter intimately. He is very organised, a good communicator and 100% reliable. And most of all - he cares deeply about helping my son materially improve his Maths. If all teachers and tutors were like Barney our children would be in great hands. Can’t recommend him enough.

Barney has been an incredible tutor over the past year! During my A-Levels he has helped me to achieve a grade A in Maths and as a result I am now studying at Exeter University. One thing that separated him from other tutors which helped immensely, was his his willingness to help outside of our tutor hour. I was able to ask him questions from work he had set me or any other problems I was stuck on and he would get back to me quickly with an explanation, saving me time rather than waiting until our next session.

Barney has been the most incredible tutor for my daughter. She started tuition with Barney during her Maths A level course. At that time she was predicted a C grade and lacked a lot of confidence in the subject. With weekly sessions with Barney she has achieved A grades in all her school assessments and has now been predicted an A grade and has been offered places at all the universities she has applied to. Barney taught her everything in a way that she immediately understood and remembered. He gave her the confidence she needed to achieve her potential. She really enjoyed her online sessions with Barney and he always gave me feedback to let me know what they had covered and how the sessions were going. I would highly recommend Barney to everyone and would like to thank him very much for giving my daughter the skills and confidence she needed to achieve the grade she wanted to achieve.

Nara Karu, A patient and professional tutor, who was able to deliver our course material to various level candidates in a efficient and clear way often providing various examples so we could grasp the concepts. Personally without prior programming knowledge i could have helped myself with better preparation and reading something on Python for beginners before attending the course. Many thanks Nara for your patience and imparting the Python basics. Dave Short Parkeon Flowbird Group.

Very dedicated tutor who explains things clearly!
