Best Private Tutors in Tenterden, Kent (2025)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

As a family we cannot recommend The Learning Academy highly enough. The environment Parm and Surinder have created to allow children to reach their academic potential is outstanding. Our daughter has loved her weekly sessions from her first visit and still looks forward going over two years later. We cannot thank the whole TLA team enough for what they do, and encourage anyone who is thinking about investing in a tutor to get in touch.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have been very impressed by TLA. The quality of teaching was great and our son enjoyed his time here. The lessons were engaging and he was taught simple methods to understand core principles. The teachers were very accommodating and always gave us honest and constructive feedback to help our son achieve great academic results . Thanks once again Parm, Surinder and the team .

We couldn’t be more thrilled with The Learning Academy! Parm and Surinder were incredible in preparing my son, Frank, for his 11+ test. Their dedication, personalized approach, and support were outstanding. Frank felt confident and well-prepared going into the exam and absolutely smashed it today! I highly recommend The Learning Academy to any parent looking for a first-class tutoring experience. Thank you!

I highly recommend The Learning Academy. My daughter started attending at the beginning of Year 5 in preparation for her 11+ exam. She has so far benefited not only academically but her confidence is shining through. Having recently received a head teachers award at school for her maths work and since attending The Learning Academy is a subject she has gained much more confidence in. Parm and Surinder have been brilliant, creating a wonderful learning environment. My daughter leaves every class with a smile on her face and looks forward to the next.

Both my son and I were made to feel welcome on day 1. He went for the week long tutoring before the Kent test the week before the test itself. My son said he had a great time by the time Friday came and it didn’t feel like a school session at all they played games and had fun all through the week. After the test itself he stated he was so glad he had had this opportunity to practise as it made the test feel a lot easier. Thanks so much to both ladies at Dymchurch tutoring for all your support!

They were fabulous at helping my daughter get through her maths GCSES.

Rating: 5 / 5

A weekly lesson has proved massively beneficial for my daughter. She started in September and, as I saw her confidence grow, and her Maths and English improve, we decided to continue for the rest of the school year. To our delight she was top in her year for maths homework, she was no where near this at the beginning. It was a real pinch myself moment! Her English too has improved, this extends into other subjects, making lessons all round better for her. She was not keen to go at first but as soon as she had her first lesson she was all in. I was so pleased for her and relieved that we decided to do this. Finally we are very grateful to her tutor for such amazing efforts. Thank you so much.

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

We cannot speak more highly of her exceptional teaching ability and particular skills in enhancing exam technique. Emma was always consistent in her ability to teach English to a very high standard whilst motivating our child to thrive in the subject. This resulted in our child achieving five marks below the maximum grade 9 in their GCSE exam. We think this speaks volumes of the standard and expertise that Emma provided and we would definitely recommend her as a tutor.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

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!

We would love to say a huge thank you to Rosie for the 11+ tutoring she gave our daughter Olivia who was very self conscious and reluctant at first to take on any form of tutoring. But signing her up was undoubtedly the best decision, Rosie was kind and welcoming and instantly made Olivia feel relaxed, her enthusiasm for teaching was so inspiring to see. Seeing a smile on Olivia’s face after each session and even seeing her look forward to going each time made our decision worth while. Rosie took away the hype and drama that surrounded the 11+ and instead focused on learning, growth and development, I feel this helped our daughter become more confident in herself therefore succeeded in passing. In our daughters words: “I think it was all down to Rosie that I passed” Thank you so much Rosie

great really enjoyed learning from Rosie made my time learning more fun and enjoyable which I didn't think was possible considering my down fall in mental health recently

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!

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.

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.

Nikki has been great in helping our daughter prepare for the 11+. Nikki clearly is able to build great rapport with children and delivers the learning in an engaging and inclusive manner.

Marolyn is an excellent tutor. My daughter came to her late in the year and was behind following lockdown. Marolyn quickly assessed where she needed help and worked hard to get her to level she needed to be at. Despite the short amount of time available Marolyn managed to successfully help my daughter to pass the Kent test. My 6 year old has now started with her as well. I would recommend her services 100%

Rating: 5 / 5

We were recommended Marolyn by friends who said she was very good. My son did very well in both Shepway and Kent test, and we are very grateful for her patience and teaching. She was such a great help and so supportive, my son couldn’t have done it without her. Definitely recommend Marolyn! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Marolyn has proved to be an excellent teacher. Passed both Kent test and Shepway test. Highly recommended. As a previous review said. Work hard and you will be rewarded. Thank you

Rating: 5 / 5

Marolyn is an experienced, excellent tutor. Expect to work hard and you will be in good hands. Our child needed to prepare for the Kent and Shepway Tests. Marolyn set very clear work guidelines, provided lots of information and communicated with us all very clearly. I would highly recommend her and we will be using her services again.
