Best Private Tutors in Buckland, Kent (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

I cannot recommend Mary highly enough. We originally asked her to help our son with English Language because we were concerned that his grades were continually falling over time. However, her tuition also helped improve his English Literature work in the process, and they ended up being his two highest GCSE grades. Mary was friendly and professional throughout and we could see a noticeable improvement in our son’s ability and confidence in the subject from the start.

Mary has been amazing with our son. Her firm but compassionate approach has not only improved his grades drastically but his confidence has rocketed. He no longer dreads English lessons at school which is an amazing difference. Mary has also always contacted me with guidance and advice along the way to know how to best help him and how to communicate with the school. We are so grateful, thank you Mary 😁😁😁

Having lessons with Mary has been really helpful. She is knowledgeable about the syllabus and what will be expected and has given concrete advice about how the children can improve their writing. Her feedback is encouraging and the activities have been challenging but explained well so that they know what to do. They have produced work which I’m really impressed with! Thanks Mary

Mary is an excellent tutor and I thoroughly recommend her.  My daughter has made wonderful progress since she started having lessons with her. Her own daughter was home educated and is currently studying at Cambridge University which highlights the standard of her teaching. Mary also has experience working with students who are dyslexic with great results.  I would not hesitate in choosing her to tutor my child.

Rita is such a lovely tutor, she took the time out of her day to make sure my daughter has the right work to complete and to ensure that she is getting the right tasks in order to do well in her gcses. With Rita my daughter was able to jump 2 whole grades which is a massive improvement. I could not recommend Rita enough, she is very good at what she does!

Rita has helped our daughter to achieve her GCSE with care and compassion and patience. In the 6 months she was tutoring our daughter she believed in her. Our daughter felt comfortable and build a rapport up with Rita. We would highly recommend her. Thank you Rita.

Fiona Cameron was incredible from the very first introduction. She spent time listening to our daughter to better understand what her capabilities and interests were. Fiona modified her approach and teaching style to suit our daughter which paid dividends. As the weeks progressed the creative writing that was being produced was so incredibly powerful and descriptive. Fiona was great at sharing her enthusiasm for her subject and always encouraging and engaging. I think it was particularly helpful that Fiona made a point of showing how thrilled she was at the results of our daughter’s efforts. I’m pleased to say that as a result of everything our daughter achieved an incredible result. I can’t recommend Fiona more highly, a fabulous teacher and a gentle person to be around.

Vicky has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter for 8 years right up to her GCSE exams. She tailored her lessons to my daughter's needs boosting her confidence. Vicky also greatly helped my son by providing a couple of adhoc lessons to assist him with understanding some very difficult equations on his electrical course. As a result both passed their exams. I highly recommend and wish Vicky all the best.

Tried the ionic bonding quiz which was exactly the right level

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Rating: 4 / 5

Richard has been a fantastic tutor for my Daughter, who is shy, nervous and was very reluctant to go to a tutor! Richard was amazing at putting her at ease from the off, creating a positive learning environment, tailoring to her needs and making it fun. She originally saw him to give her confidence in her maths and English and then progressed to 11+ learning and she came on leaps and bounds. She looked forward to going every week! I wish he had been tutoring when my Son was doing his 11+ as we tried all the usual tutors in Ashford (large group sessions, using computers, 1:1) and none were as good. I’ll be brining my youngest to Richard in a couple of years. Thanks for everything!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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 :-)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

A huge thank you to Jeni for all her hard work with our son throughout Year 5. He came out of every one of her sessions full of smiles and enthusiasm. She not only helped to encourage his learning, but also provided much needed navigation and reassurance to us. Having never been through the Kent Test process before we felt slightly bewildered at times, but all her additional information sessions, informal chats, and formal feedback throughout the year was just brilliant. Thank you!

Jackie tutored my son for an academic year in preparation for the Kent Test. Jackie is an experienced and knowledgeable tutor in this area. She ensured my son was as prepared as possible, with repeated practice of all the areas tested and focused on specific areas highlighted as necessary. Jackie also prepared my son for the more practical aspects of the test, such as time management, confidence building and emotional support. Jackie is caring, approachable and friendly and was able to build a great rapport with my son. Jackie came to us highly recommended and we have no hesitation in highly recommending her to you as the excellent tutor she is.

Rating: 5 / 5

Jackie has spent time with my son who struggles to regulate his emotions, she’s worked through calming down techniques and strategies as well as looking at the cause of his outbursts and helping me as his mum too. Thank you Jackie for your support and guidance.

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!

We are extremely grateful to Mr C. Our son,Danny,has enjoyed going to his lessons every week. Regardless of the outcome in September, this has been a positive and rewarding experience. Richard works hard in instilling resilience and hard work in his pupils while having fun. This is invaluable for children.Thanks so much!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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 am so grateful for Emma’s help in achieving the top grades for my English GCSEs. She tailored her lessons to target my weaknesses and the resources she gave helped improve my exam techniques. Above all, she always pushed me to do better than before which is one of the many reasons she’s a great tutor.

Rating: 5 / 5

Without Emma, I could never have achieved a grade 9 in both English literature and language. Before starting my tutoring, my grades were at 6’s and 7’s and I didn’t know what I could do better to improve them. But once Emma started tutoring me, I began to discover my strengths and weaknesses. She increased my confidence and is incredibly supportive and kind. She is an exceptional tutor and I am 100% positive that anyone who chooses her to tutor them, will definitely improve their grades and confidence in English.

Rating: 5 / 5

Teachers that were chosen to teach me the subjects were very kind and explained to me everything that i needed to know in detail even when i had problems with understanding. When there were problems they got sorted out quickly to not disturb my learning. Overall helped me achieve the grades that i wanted. Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

I’ve had many English tutors throughout my GCSE studies but Emma has by far been the best one, she has helped me increase my grades in English by an incredible 5 grades in the short time she taught me (from my year 10 mock to my actual GCSE’s!). Emma gave me great advice on how to approach exam style questions including how to efficiently answer questions. Emma was able to identify exactly what I struggled with in English which I didn’t even know my self and worked on that issue which ultimately lead to me getting a grade 8 in English language. Emma is such an incredible teacher I would highly recommend her lessons!
