Best Private Tutors in Chartham, Kent (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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.

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.

Vicky is such a talented tutor, my daughter had an English teacher at school that was focusing too much on the negative. She and my son had had lessons with Vicky before (in yr6) so I felt confident she’d be the perfect person to give my daughter (yr10) the boost she needed. She had weekly lessons with Vicky up until going through her GCSEs and the change in her attitude towards learning and also her confidence in her own abilities has been seriously dramatic in the last few months. Now she’s actually really looking forward to getting her GCSE results!! I’ve already put my son on Vicky’s list to give him a boost as he starts yr11. I’ll be forever grateful and can’t recommend Vicky enough, education is so important and Vicky teaches in a patient and empowering way!

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

Rating: 5 / 5

My children are really enjoying their classes with Mary. They find her explanations clear & easy to follow. They love the notes she takes during the class. This helps them concentrate during the lesson and go back over things afterwards when they need to apply what they have learnt. Mary has a great balance of being warm and friendly yet firm enough that the children listen and know they are to take their studies seriously if they want to progress and achieve. Mary really knows her subject so well and we feel very blessed for our children to be learning from such a great teacher.

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

Very approachable and flexible tutors with whom our daughters studied mainly maths during Years 10 and 11. They always listened to the girls' maths/science anxieties and gave them confidence. Their approach is to teach methods and offer exam practice so our daughters had lots of different types of help. Always happy to go over mock papers they had done in class. They really did make a difference to their grades.

My daugther attended Kent Top Tutors classes for two years, as she struggled to keep up with her maths lessons at school and was afraid she wouldn't pass her GCSE exam. Thanks to her tutor's professional intervention and patience, she achieved a grade 5, which is higher than we expected. Highly recommended!

Leesa tutored my daughter through statistics and maths GCSE. Despite having to get up early on a Saturday morning, my daughter very much enjoyed working with Leesa, who helped to improve her confidence and ability, supporting her to pass both subjects. Now keen to signing up child number 2!

Rating: 5 / 5

Leesa tutored both my sons for the Kent test, the eldest remotely during a Covid lockdown. They both passed with flying colours. She made sessions fun and motivating, with rewards like sweets or little toys at the end of each session (delivered to our doorstep during lockdown!) and mini competitions between her pupils over a number of sessions for bigger prizes. I would highly recommend Leesa to other parents looking for Kent test tutoring for their child.

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.

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!

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 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 :-)

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

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

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.

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

Mr and Mrs Awan have been such amazing teachers to my children! I cannot recommend them highly enough..fast forward 2022 when my kids started their lessons I had no hope that they would want to continue, but I’m filled with so much joy to see how they have grown in confidence with their school work in this short space and it’s all thanks to Mr and Mrs Awan love, patience and dedication to what they do. Will recommend them any day anytime, truly amazing human Beings

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.

Update- I had no hesitation enrolling my boys at RTC following the success they had with my first. Maria was brilliant with them and gave in-depth feedback every week. Thanks also to Ilse for being welcoming and approachable. I would definitely recommend RTC! My son prepared for his 11+ under RTC and passed excellently. I particularly liked the weekly feedback and the methodical approach to covering all the required topics across a range of subjects. Also the mock exams were apt opportunities to discuss strengths and weaknesses and agree steps forward to fill the gap. Special mention to Jo and Justine, and to Steph and Jinky for seamless front of house comms. All well appreciated.

My daughter started with the RTC (TW) in Y4, and she's finished her journey with success now. My daughter loved the weekly classes with her excellent and extremely professional tutor, Justine.. Justine was fully supportive, with her invaluable advice and guidance. I really can't recommend her enough. All the process went really smoothly, the weekly classes;the email follow-ups with content about what has been taught each week; the mock assessments; the consultations after the mock with the Tutor and the revisions. And of course, a huge thanks to the front team : Stephanie, Jinky, and Ilse. They have been highly supportive,very friendly, and helpful. Thank you so much for such a caring, perfect environment.

Rating: 5 / 5

Both of my children attended weekly classes for about a year in the run up to the 11+. I think both of them benefitted a lot from the classes. It really helped them understand what to expect from the test and how to prepare for it, and get used to the style of questions. Thoroughly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Could not have asked for more for my daughter. The team in Tonbridge are absolutely amazing, great feedback and communication between tutor and parent, very welcoming and enjoyable for the children. My daughter loved the fact that on the first day she was given her own tuition satchel and stationary. Ilse was so lovely and understanding of every families own personal circumstances and very supportive. My child had 6 tuition sessions on a Saturday and a couple of full days during the summer holidays which were so valuable and I genuinely appreciate the wonderful contribution and teaching the group have provided her for the best start for secondary school. We are over the moon that she has passed! Thank you for everything! X
