The Best Private Tutors in Boughton Street, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Both my son and daughter have had tutoring with Richard and I can not recommend him highly enough. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable on the different areas of the curriculum and 11+ but he also has a way of making the children believe in themselves, giving them the confidence they need to succeed. Richard treats each child as an individual, tailoring his sessions to what the child needs as opposed to a ‘one hat fits all’ approach. He also gives you detailed feedback on your child’s progress and provides valuable advice for moving your child forward. Both my children enjoy going to Richard and do not see it as a chore. Thank you Richard for your invaluable help and support.

My son finds school a little tricky but having a quieter, encouraging environment at RP Tutoring he really is improving. Richard provides regular and helpful feedback on my sons progress and focuses on areas he finds more difficult rather than all of the curriculum. This really is beneficial as it does not waste time on areas he is strong at.

I am extremely grateful for the excellent work done by Richard. In the wake of disruptions caused by COVID, he identified the gaps in our daughter's education and provided targeted guidance. Thanks to his dedicated efforts, our daughter successfully passed her 11+. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend his services.

Richard was great to speak too, gave brilliant feedback, and just helped my daughter take that extra step. He gave her confidence, and his message to her just resonated with her brilliantly. Whilst we didn't have regular tutoring, we gained valuable insight from the 11+ mocks and then a couple of 2 hrs intensive sessions the week before the Kent test.

Richard has been great with my daughter. She isn’t the most confident mathematician but Richard has been working patiently with her and I am starting to see her confidence being to grow. I would definitely recommend Mr.C’s.

Mr C was an excellent tutor. He was very welcoming and my daughter enjoyed all her lessons with him. He made lessons fun for her - we still play some of the games he taught her - and he was very good at explaining topics that she found difficult. She retained all the information he gave her. He was happy to tailor classes according to her needs. He was also very generous in terms of his time and with work materials as well. I highly recommend him.

I cannot recommend Richard enough. My daughter felt happy and comfortable from the first day with him and he teaches in a relaxed and fun way that engages and delivers great results. The materials, support and communication provided by him is fantastic. Highly recommended!

I have a child diagnosed with ADHD. Richard was accommodating, a pleasure to deal with, friendly and professional and my kid bounced into every lesson with a positive attitude. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Richard enough. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. Oh and he got my kid to pass the Kent test with flying colours. Will definitely return to try to get my younger kid to also be tutored by him in the coming years.

We have been attending the centre since June 2021. Mr and Mrs Awan provide a calm, productive work environment and are very patient, there is a genuine sincerity in their care. The work is mainly computer based in small groups and lessons are designed for a student’s individual ability and aimed to build confidence as they progress. Mr and Mrs Awan have brilliant learning techniques and help students to understand how to answer questions correctly. The centre can cater for helping students study towards the Kent test but are also very helpful to students with learning difficulties who may need extra support. Mr and Mrs Awan share years of teaching experience in schools but now provide this tutoring programme which is reassuring for students and parents. I thoroughly recommend this centre.

Both of my children have had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mr and Mrs Awan. They were caring, kind and encouraging and our children loved going. Our initial reason for going was to help them with their general school work. At Kip McGrath they got the individual attention that they needed to improve and were also gently nudged to make sure that they pushed out of their comfort zone to achieve more than they thought possible. We soon saw the benefits at school. They also supported our children in the run into Kent Test. Again they helped without making our children feel pressured. Just a fantastic experience which led to the outcome that we all wanted. Thank you both very much!

Mr and Mrs Awan are the most wonderful and supporting people. They have helped both of our children in the most tremendous way, increasing their ability and confidence hugely. I cannot commend and also recommend them highly enough. Amazing people!

So pleased with the tutoring my children receive at Kip McGrath Canterbury. Since joining in July my son and daughter have progressed a huge amount. At the end of half term my daughter received the Head teachers award for progress made which I believe was thanks to the consistent support received at Kip McGrath Canterbury. My daughter’s confidence has grown, now she tackles tasks which she would have been too scared to attempt. My son has just moved onto secondary and the classes really help him to build up his confidence and knowledge in his weaker areas. Mr and Mrs Awan are also very kind, approachable, helpful and provide a calm supportive environment for children to learn. Kip McGrath Canterbury is an excellent choice for flexible tutoring and I am so pleased I made the choice for my children.

I can highly recommend Kate not only a lovely lady but she is a very experienced tutor. My daughter was tutored by Kate in preparation for the Kent test in small groups of up to 4 children. My daughter found Kate really supportive, kind and helpful and the sessions were adapted to support her in the areas that she needed most.

My two daughters were tutored by Kate & she was excellent with them. Always supporting them & adjusting her teaching style to their individual needs. They are now at grammar school. Kate is extremely approachable, flexible in her teaching style & will readily accommodate every type of learner. Cannot recommend Kate enough!

Kate is a very experienced tutor in Sittingbourne. Both my children were tutored by her in preparation for the Kent test. I can highly recommend her. My children were tutored in small groups of up to 4 children. They were matched with similar ability children so they could learn at the pace best suited to their needs.

Kate has been fantastic in preparing my daughter for the 11+ exams. Her teaching style is clear, supportive, and engaging. She’s patient, professional, and truly cares about her students' progress. I highly recommend her for 11+ preparation!

In a very short period of time Desh got our son James feeling enthusiastic about maths and much more confident. This resulted in him going up a grade on resit which we are absolutely thrilled with!

I am grateful to have found Tutor World which has greatly helped me since the start of secondary school. I definitely believe they have contributed to my good GCSE grades. I would definitely recommend this to other students as it can help understanding of areas you are not confident in.

My son received Maths GCSE tuition from Desh commencing middle of Year 10. He struggled and had lost all his confidence. He has now achieved an amazing GCSE grade thanks to Desh who tailored the lessons to suit my son. Thanks Desh!

I had a fantastic experience with Desh as my A-level economics tutor. Not only does he have excellent knowledge of the subject, but he also made learning fun and engaging. He is very good at explaining complex topics in a simple and understandable manner. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Jeni from Sunnydene! My daughter was preparing for the Kent test and my friend had recommended Jeni for Mock tests (we already had a tutor by this point). The mock tests ran very smoothly, the feedback was very helpful and valuable. We focused on the feedback provided and the second mock test result showed a massive improvement on my daughter’s scores! We then had some sessions during the summer holiday to get ready for the final day. My daughter passed the Kent test! I would like to thank Jeni for all the feedback and help she provided. I would highly recommend Sunnydene if you are looking to prepare your child for the Kent test, for both tutoring and mock tests!

Being relatively new to Kent I found the whole selective system and Kent Test process somewhat overwhelming, but Jeni completely demystified it and made it all feel more manageable. Our son not only didn't complain about her tutoring sessions but actively looked forward to them! We were quite late to discover Jeni but I'm so grateful we did - she's been an absolute game-changer and I can't recommend her enough.

My son really enjoyed the sessions with Jeni and they gave him lots of confidence. By the time it came to doing the Kent test, he was looking forward to it. Jeni gave lots of helpful information to the children and adults on the process and what to expect. The opportunity for my son to do a mock kent test was really helpful too and put him at ease.

A rare find; if you are looking for a reputable tutor, I cannot recommend Sunnydene enough! I have complete faith in Jeni’s understanding of the system and test papers. Very structured and lots of parent info to guide you along the way too. My two children have been tutored here and got the outcome we hoped for in the dreaded Kent test. Thanks Sunnydene :-)

Really helpful website, all their quizs cover nearly all topics and give question requiring in depth thought and connections between topics, overall amazing and will continue to use!

Tried the ionic bonding quiz which was exactly the right level

I'm able to tutor myself thanks to your website!

A really thorough quiz which considers a variety of science terms and processes as part of the multiple choice, encouraging further learning or checking when the answers are revealed at the end of the test. Accessible, friendly and enjoyable. Just enough questions around the specific topics, enough to not become overbearing or confusing. Although I think that for GCSE, it may need to be a bit more challenging. Maybe there could be challenging levels to select and pass as part of the quizzing. Thank you.

We used tutor world for our son in preparation for the 11+ exams and we found them to be very good, professional, flexible, attentive, and caring. They put a lot of time and effort to work with him and I felt they had active interest in helping him and all the other children succeeded.

The best tuition in town if you want to get the best 11+ results. Both of my kids went to this Tutor world and RUVINI and her team had always been great from day 1.They have highly expert teams in the classes with the best knowledge. Thank you once again . Best wishes ahead.

This is the best place to send your child to practice for the Kent Test. I highly recommend Tutor World to anyone looking for 11 Plus tuition. Even though my son joined just before last month's test, I am very glad for what Ruvini did for him. I enrolled him for a mock test, and afterward, Ruvini clearly identified my son's weak areas. She explained exactly which areas he needed to improve and provided excellent guidance on how to do so. She also went over the topics with him, giving extra lessons to reinforce his understanding. This was incredibly helpful for my son, and it built his confidence before the exam, thanks to Ruvini. Ultimately, my son passed the exam very well. Ruvini is not only a great teacher, but she also has the confidence and ability to recognize a child's individual needs. I truly appreciate her help and highly recommend Tutor World to anyone looking for quality teaching for Kent Test. Sharika.

Tutor World really help my child, I tried others for lessons for the 11+ for my son. I was told he won’t pass as he lacks focus, but when I went to tutor world for an assessment, Ruvini was very helpful and told me with little effort my son could do well at the exam, am so happy I listen to her advice, as I almost gave up. My son pass with a total of 345, I was so happy and proud, I cried happy tears. Thank you so much tutor world for not given up on my son. If I could give more stars I will.
