Best Private Tutors in Sturry, Kent (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

A very good and Well designed website with over 300+ random questions

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.

Tried the ionic bonding quiz which was exactly the right level

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

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 😁😁😁

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

Our children have had Frank for Maths tuition for a number of years, and more recently the Sciences also. He made lessons fun & gave them confidence. I believe a child really needs to like someone if they're to learn well, & both my kids really like him! I am sure their recent good GCSE results reflect the quality of their learning with Frank. I am very happy to recommend Kent Top Tutors.

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.

Kumon has been a valuable resource for my 2 girls, they both read so well better than their peers and they are exceptional in Maths particularly times table and addition. Will definitely recommend to other parents for their kids Many Thanks Omo

Fantastic! Kathryn and her team are excellent - patient, kind and encouraging. The Kumon teaching method has also been so beneficial to both of my children in different ways - it is well worth the investment!

Very positive, helped my child a lot. Kathyrn and her team are very caring and patient and helped my daughter progress tremendously.

I signed my daughter up to the kumon programme because she wasn’t very confident with Maths at school and I didn’t want her to dread her Maths lessons going forward. We have been at kumon for just over a year and she has just started Year 2 and loves Maths now and says it’s her favourite subject! I’m so pleased I made the decision to send her 😊 the Canterbury tutors are all really friendly and my daughter enjoyed going in to class every Saturday.
