The Best Private Tutors in Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Mia taught my child Sophie when she needed extra help after school. Sophie really enjoyed and looked forward to the sessions and developed a great relationship with Mia. The sessions were great fun and planned around Sophie’s favourite characters which really helped engage her. It was fantastic to see how quickly Sophie gained confidence in herself and her work . Mia kept me well informed about Sophie’s progress and gave me ways I could help her more at home too. I would highly recommend Mia to help any child. She works extremely hard and really cares about what she does.

Mia taught my 8 year old son with holiday/lockdown top up lessons. Mia was very patient and she actively engaged with him to keep his focus and make the lessons fun. My son really enjoyed his lessons with her and he has made great progress in such a short time both in terms of confidence and ability

My son thoroughly enjoys his sessions with Mia both in person and online. After just a few sessions we have noticed the improvement he has made, particularly in his English writing. Mia’s teaching has also helped to build up his confidence. Mia always keeps us informed with the learning. We are so fortunate to have Mia for my son’s 11+ preparation and thanks to her help, he was successful in receiving a place at RGS, Guildford. We would have no doubt in recommending Mia to anyone. Thank you very much, Mia.

Mia taught my 5-year-old daughter for two months online and during that time my child’s progress was remarkable, especially her writing, maths and art skills. Mia was able to actively engage my child and keep her focused and motivated throughout the remote lessons. Mia is a highly experienced and trustworthy educator who I have already recommended to friends, and whose services I would definitely make use of again.

Fiona regularly tutored both my son and daughter up to GCSE. Her patience and tolerance was nothing short of outstanding, developing a caring rapport over time with my children that meant sessions were looked forward to and valued. During her time with them she was reliable and committed, more recently working hard to overcome lockdown obstacles. As a family we can’t thank Fiona enough for helping our children to achieve good maths grades.

Fiona is patient, kind and brilliant at explaining maths to all age groups. She helped both my daughters and lots of my friends' children too. Fiona knows her maths and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Enrolling your child in Kumon is an excellent way to create discipline and interest in reading and maths. My child was in a different Kumon center prior to us moving to this location, and we have to say its been a fantastic experience here. Duhita and her team cater the work not only to a childs academic growth but also take into account personal and social development. I highly recommend enrolling your children in this particular location.

All three of my children have taken maths, at Kumon in Guildford. We started for various reasons and have ended at different times. My last child has now been doing it for three years now and is two years ahead of where she should be. This was evident in home schooling in lockdown when we were completing year eight maths and she is in year six. Kumon has continued through lockdown with zoom lessons. I could book an individual lesson if stuck and could contact through Whats app and text. Work was easy to exchange with little notes of encouragement. My daughter is determined to finish the program. Ultimately she says she wants to take maths and further maths at A level. Even if this isn't your aim, Kumon will give you a great understanding of maths. Times tables will be known instantly which will help in all aspects of life. The Guildford group is welcoming and when we are allowed to meet again, easy to find. Nicky Gale.

My two children have had Kumon maths lessons from the age of 7 and 4 respectively. They are now 15 and 12. Kumon has been a massive part of their success. Not only are they considerably advanced for their age at maths, the confidence it has given them has boosted their performance across all subjects. Kumon lessons are great value and the support offered has been so professional yet kind and child-centred. Thank you Duhita and team!

My girls have been doing Kumon with Duhita and her team for more than 13 months now. The confidence they have in problem solving, in their course work and the accolades they receive from their teachers at school is amazing! True testimonial of the power of small steps every day ! Kumon is a discipline, Kumon is building habit. Thank you Duhita and team for all your support and help

I have worked with Haleema for the best part of a year and she has been an amazing teacher and role model. She has been teaching me the LNAT and I have seen significant improvements within the first two months of working with her. Haleema is always happy to help and explain things. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a LNAT tutor!

January 2024, and my daughter is struggling with her GCSE results. Mocks hadn't gone great and I asked a friend for help. A friend of a friend recommended Haleema. Her work with my daughter exceeded expectations. An A* and A in English GCSE later, I would recommend HH tutoring without hesitation.

Haleema at HH Tutoring has been an absolute Godsend for my son. In this past year working with her, my son’s English language skills, GCSE exam technique and overall confidence have come on by leaps and bounds. Haleema broke down the core skills required and worked patiently through them with him. She provided templates that he could follow and revisit again and again, which was essential as my son requires a clear structure to learn at his best. English Language is the subject he found the most challenging of all his GCSEs, yet with Haleema’s support, his skills are now secure. We’re confident that there will be cause to celebrate over his English grade on results day. More importantly, I know that Haleema has taught him lifelong writing, comprehension and inference skills that will help him at A-level and beyond. Thank you Haleema!

As a mature student , Haleema had prepared me for the GCSE English language 2024 exams. Her method of teaching in group sessions and 1-1 is unfaltered, professional and she makes sure you understand the content and will help you to get the higher marks subject to you putting in the effort too. Every single penny spent on tuition was worth it! Even though, the tuition is online Haleema delivered the sessions in such a way where she made sure everyone engaged together from the weakest to the strongest student. If you miss anything or do not understand you always have full access to the online portal where you can review the online recorded revision sessions as much as you like. Make sure you take advantage of doing past papers and getting them marked by Haleema as you are getting written responses from a professional examiner with 8+ years of experience. If you want to succeed, Haleema is the way forward!!

My son has been offered a place at Tiffin and whilst he is a bright child we know that that isn’t enough to be successful in these exams, especially coming from a state primary school. Shine Tutors provided a structured and thorough programme of work and practice for these exams, with Lynnette’s long experience of the requirements for different schools and high expectations for both children and parents on the commitment and standards needed and we know we made the right choice for our son.

Lynnette provides an excellent structured setting whereby most of the class gain top school offers. The extra focus and individual feedback that Lynnette provides in the run up to key exams made us feel confident of success. Moreover, if you are looking for your child to develop an enthusiasm for learning beyond exams then Shine provides that breadth. You know it’s good if they miss the lessons long after the exams are over!

Shine Tutors was recommended to us by a friend and our experience from day 1 with Lynnette was brilliant. Her approach, her material, her accessibility and her investment in the children she teaches pays results - our daughter received offers from both Tiffin Girls and Nonsuch! More than that, we have seen our daughter build a healthy attitude towards exams and learning, and this we feel is what will really help her in her academic life and beyond - a big thank you Lynnette! We look forward to seeing you with our younger one soon!

I cannot recommend Shine Tutors highly enough. My son started attending sessions with Lynnette in year 4, which ultimately helped him receive offers from both Tiffin School and Kingston Grammar School. The tuition and guidance received from Lynnette was invaluable to achieving this. Her sessions both supported and stretched my son academically but also gave him the knowledge and confidence needed for the entrance exams. Lynnette also provides lots of information to parents to help guide them through the school entrance exams process.

I have used Grove Tutors for the past few years for a number of subjects for my child’s GCSEs. I have always found the tutors to be very professional and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend Nick and his team.

Clarissa has been tutoring our daughter in both Maths and English for over a year now and we can highly recommend her services. As a result of her work our daughter has gained confidence in both subjects and has moved up to top set in Maths. She has a warm and relatable style of teaching which meant our daughter felt immediately at ease. Clarissa has been able to adapt her lessons to compliment the current curriculum being studied by our daughter

We used Grove Tutors for three months to help our daughter build her confidence before moving to a new school. Nick found the perfect tutor for her and she found herself excited about maths and science for the first time in a long time. The tutor tailored their sessions to address specific areas that our daughter needed help with, so every minute of each session was useful. In a short time, our daughter made massive progress and quickly felt ready for her new school.

Grove tutors have provided us with two tutors for my daughter, and both have been great! They go out of their way to find the best match for your requirements making the whole process stress free.

Karen was a wonderful tutor for our son Edward during an emergency period of EOTAS. She really met him where he was with different elements of his learning and helped start to address the very significant gaps arising from the poor educational standard at his previous SEN school, slowly building his confidence and self-belief. Her gentle but determined style helped him start his recovery from a period of school trauma and help ease his anxiety. Karen adapted her approach to suit, motivate and inspire him. We are very grateful for her thoughtful, diligent and patient work with him, the impact of her skilled teaching on him is clear. We all miss her and wish her all the very best for the future.

Powertutors are a very good firm for tutoring children, my son is using them and he feels so at ease with mohammed shakeel he is very good with my son and he makes him laugh 😃

Mia is great and our 6 year daughter loves engaging with her either online or in person. The lessons have brought our daughter along nicely as there is nothing quite like one-to-one tuition. Mia is polite and timely and a real pleasure to deal with. Roy and Marie Bowden x

I have known Fiona for a number of years as my both my children have been tutored by her . My daughter was lacking confidence with Maths and Fiona worked with her to show her different ways of approaching problem solving. She achieved an ‘A’ in her GCSE all with the help of Fiona. My son is still working towards GCSE and will continue through to ‘A’ level . It has been money very well spent , thank you Fiona

Fiona is patient, kind and brilliant at explaining maths to all age groups. She helped both my daughters and lots of my friends' children too. Fiona knows her maths and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Gemma is an outstanding tutor. She taught my daughter for French A Level and we anticipate excellent results. She is very organised and thorough and builds confidence very well. My daughter loved all the lessons!

Gemma is a wonderful tutor. Very patient and kind. My daughter’s self confidence improved unbelievably in French. Thank you so much!

We used Gemma for Spanish tutoring in preparation for my daughters Spanish GCSE. From the very first meeting, Gemma was quickly able to determine what my daughter’s strengths and weaknesses were. Subsequently, she tailored her sessions to provide the knowledge she required both for the written and oral exams. In the following weeks, my daughter was more confident and engaged with the subject and ultimately achieved an A grade. I would highly recommend Gemma as a tutor!

Gemma tutored our son in the run up to his GCSE Spanish. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough - she was engaging, extremely patient and very knowledgeable. He very much enjoyed the lessons and she moved him from a predicted grade 6 to a 7.
