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

Bénédicte is a great teacher. My daughter loves her classe every week. We speak French at home but Bénédicte has given her the confidence to read and write in French too which is exactly what she needed. I could not recommend her more !

My son, who is 4 years old, has been attending French lessons with Bénédicte. He very much enjoys the sessions and cannot wait for his next lesson! Bénédicte is patient, professional and supports his development. Initially I was wondering how a young child could learn a new language but Bénédicte is able to help familiarise him with different sounds and words. She is very patient and supportive. We are both very happy with these lessons!

Bénédicte is a fantastic tutor and I’m thoroughly enjoying the lessons with her! I’ve had other tutors in the past and she is by far the best one I’ve had. Lessons are structured and she always listens to your needs and tailors lessons accordingly. I would very highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing French tutor!

My five year old daughter started lessons with Benedicte over a month now and shortly after the start my daughter begged me to increase to two sessions a week. The sessions are very interactive, fun, good content and my daughter is very comfortable with her and is always looking forward to the next lesson. She has given her the confidence that learning a language is accessible to anybody. Highly recommend her!

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 highly recommend taking private lessons with Shine Tutors. L. is an amazing tutor and very professional. She helped my child to reach another level indeed and prepared him so well. He enjoyed her class so much. Shine tutors accurately identified my child's strengths and weaknesses so they could work on them effectively. The methods used are perfectly aligned with the tests, and the follow-up and correction of exercises are consistent. Thanks to the weekly follow up with a lot of good learning homeworks material our child succeeded in all his 11+ exams. It's hard work and effort at first but it all pays off. He got offered a place at Tiffin in the first round as well as other independent schools such as Hampton Boys including Upper Latymer scholarships. We are so grateful for the outstanding work L. has done to stretch our child and accompany him with consistent diligent work to succeed in his exams. She has also provided lots of information to us, has been a strong guidance for all of us in this journey and particularly in the school entrance exams process. Thank you again for your amazing engagement with children.

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.

Ms Siew has been brilliant! Not only because she has the knowledge and patience for preparing maths for my daughter’s 11+, more importantly Ms Siew has made maths fun that my daughter isn’t scared of doing maths anymore. On the contrary, my daughter looks forward to doing more fun maths. That has made a huge difference on the preparation of 11+. No matter what the exam results might be, I can see evidently that my daughter has the enthusiasm to learn more about maths, that alone is the benefit in a long run. I would certainly recommend Ms Siew for tutoring maths for any children whether it is to prepare the tedious 11 +, or simply to engage a child to fall in love with Maths. Ms Siew will make it! Thank you Ms Siew! Having received offer from TGS that’s definitely helped mainly by Siew our daughter’s maths tutor dedicated and skilful tutoring. We would strongly recommend Siew to be your maths tutor, who will guide you through the tough preparation of 11+ and to motivate your child to achieve a preferable result. Thank you very much Siew!

Both my kids started their tutoring with Siew. She is a brilliant tutor and really helped build their confidence and their ability to truly understand maths and how to apply it. Most importantly she helped them learn to enjoy the subject which motivates them to work harder. I can highly recommend CoolMinds for maths.

Siew is an excellent tutor. She figured out my son’s weak points for 11+, and filled in those gaps. Then my son’s maths improved a lot! He got into Grammar school, couldn’t succeed without her. I highly recommend her!

CoolMinds has been a nurturing teacher to my child. She encourages him to think indepently and teaches him methods to explore new subjects on his own, instead of feeding him with how to sit in exams only. More importantly to us, CoolMinds also works with parents closely to build a encouraging learning environment at home. She provides feedbacks and teaching skills to the parents with the best interests for the child at heart. I can't recommend CoolMinds more.

We wanted additional coaching for W so that he didn't get any surprises for a school entry assessment for Year 3. Amanda had researched the curriculum for his age thoroughly and had planned her sessions to cover all the key areas that W might be presented with. W really engaged with Amanda as she coaxed him gently into the session asking questions about his week and then applying a relevant point to the subject matter she wanted to cover. She gauged his attention span well, switching topics and momentum when he was beginning to tire of a particular area. I would definitely recommend Amanda again.

A really good company, excellent communication and my son's tutor is "great" (his words!)

Students Intuition have been so friendly and effiencent to work with. Although I have never had the need to meet any of the team I have spoken on the 'phone and had regular email contact. They are flexible, personable and I cannot fault their professionalism. My GCSE age daughter has used Math and English tutors through the company. We decided that one of the tutors wasn't working for us but we were fully supported by the company to change to someone else. Our Math tutor has been a complete saviour and cannot be rated highly enough. The company accommodate the need to cancel or reschedule lessons if required and have generally been an important resource in a time of need. Thank you!

I tutor in English for Students Intuition and really can't speak highly enough of them! The team look after all of the admin, allowing us tutors to get on with what we do best and everyone is so friendly. You feel really supported and looked after - I love tutoring for SI!

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

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

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 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.

My daughter had lessons with Anpu for nearly two years and has recently had confirmation of a pass mark for the Sutton schools second stage entrance exam. The workload was high, but I felt confident that more advanced topics were being taught above what she was learning at school in years 4 and 5 - particularly in maths. I appreciated the detailed feedback that Anpu gave after lessons, and his dedication to ensuring as much tuition time was available in the run-up to the exams. Be prepared to print out a lot of worksheets every week! In her words, "Anpu is an excellent and patient teacher. He is good at teaching difficult concepts. I enjoyed the lessons and the soothing ambiance of the room."

After visiting several 11+ tutors in the area, we came across Champions Tuition. After a short introduction which included their business aims and their teaching methods, we decided to go with them. Best decision ever. With their coaching and teaching methods, my son's confidence grew and he was able to sit his 11+ with confidence in his abilities. Whilst he missed out on a Grammer place by less than 12 marks, he is in a mainstream school, in the top set and is working at a level set for year 10/11 students despite being in year 7. Thank you Champions Tuition for assisting in showing that you can achieve great things with dedication and hardwork, especially in having the understanding that when your initial dreams don't come true, there will always be another way to success.

Champion's Tuition is good. Mr. Anpu is a fantastic tutor who is working hard with the kids. My son had done well in 11+ exams confidently. Tutor Mr. Anpu gave lot of practices in both Maths and English papers. Everyday Homework was verified and giving parents feedback often. It's very helpful for the parents to know the kid's status. Thank you Mr Anpu for your kind support.

My son has been using Champions Tuition since the summer months. Champion Tuition was recommended to us by other parents in his primary school as a very professional and outstanding tutoring service. Within days from joining Champions Tuition my son became very responsible about his homework and his goals (passing his exams to secondary school). Anpu the founder of Champions Tuition has outstanding pedagogical and pastoral skills. The children respond to him very well and he certainly knows how to motivate them. The same can be said about the whole team of tutors at Champions Tuition. Champions Tuition also offers online classes which is very convenient if you are not local or unable to take your child to the class on a certain day. The curriculum covered during tuition is tailor made for the children's level and prepares them thoroughly for specific exams, e.g. in our case 11+ and private schools entry exams. The choice of teaching resources is second to none. The children practice using previous years' exams papers from the best grammar schools in England. The tutors also recommend extra books and learning resources. They take a lot of care in ensuring that the child makes a steady progress. Each homework is marked and discussed with the child. The children need to present corrections of their work to the tutor, which helps them consolidate their knowledge. A detailed feedback is given to the parents after each lesson. I highly recommend Champions Tuition, especially to parents whose children want to take 11+ and other entry exams on different levels. I cannot emphasize enough that Champions Tuition is an excellent investment in your child's education.

George tutored my son for 3 months prior to his GCSE exams. He was really approachable and friendly and taught my son in a way that really helped him understand. I’ve no doubt that George’s tutoring was influential in increasing his final grade

I can’t recommend Genius Tutoring Services enough. I needed a tutor for my son’s A’level RE as he was having difficulty formulating his essays. Elliott searched around and found the perfect tutor, Anna Bodziony. She was kind and patient and boosted my son’s confidence no end. He was just scraping a C grade but with Anna’s help, achieved a B. He’s now off to Exeter University to study Computer Science. Thank you Elliott Hind for all your help.

My daughter had a poor start to Triple Science GCSE, her teacher was newly qualified and sacked by the end of Year 10. So, come Year 11, there was a lot of ground to cover. Elliott was recommended by a colleague. From the very first Zoom meeting, he has been exceptional. Immediately he identified Nell’s gaps, strengths and weaknesses and was able to deliver engaging, coherent and meaningful sessions to meet her needs and help her make progress. He has excellent subject knowledge, is super organised, encouraging and supportive. His delivery is warm and enthusiastic…Nell didn’t once complain about having a session with him (a miracle), her confidence grew and dare I say it, she even looked forward to his sessions! Elliott kept me in the loop regarding next steps for Nell and emailed exam papers and advice as her exams approached. Whatever grades Nell achieves will be largely down to Elliott. My only regret is we didn’t find him sooner.

My son was struggling with A Level Chemistry having only got a C in his mocks. He needed an A to get into UCL to study medicine. We needed a tutor to improve my son’s exam technique and get him enjoying chemistry again. Seth was incredible at breaking concepts down and really helping him understand and then apply his knowledge correctly. My son got his A and is off to UCL this September. Thank you so much, I cannot recommend Genius Tutoring Services enough.

Our daughter passed the Grammar school exam under Yasmin’s guidance. Yasmin was very thorough with her style. We also found out that in person teaching was highly beneficial. The practice papers were provided as print outs which were then completed by the child and reviewed in the next session. We really appreciate the support we received last year with constructive feedback provided. Thank you for all your support!

Yasmin has been an incredible tutor through both my 11+ and GCSE examinations. She has provided invaluable resources (such as past papers, worksheets, predicted papers and more) and has never hesitated to explain a concept I struggled with understanding. She has always challenged my abilities and pushed me to do better when I make silly mistakes! I can say for certain that without Yasmin, I would not have done nearly half as well on both examinations as I would have without her guidance. Thank you for everything!

My son joined STS tutoring February of Year 5 after finding his old tutor was unable to work positively with him. I called Yasmin fairly worried that my son would be changing tutors so late in the 11plus journey. She was incredibly supportive and set a date to trial him and see how much he knew. Straight away she told me he was doing so well and he was definitely on the right track. Each week from then on, Yasmin was nothing but kind and positive about his learning. When I had a worry, she took the time to give me reassurance and even ideas of how to improve certain areas of learning. She kept up with last minute changes in the exam criteria and made sure my son had the up to date papers to work from, something other tutors in the area didn’t do. She tailored the work for his weaknesses and went above and beyond to help him feel confident. She also was truthful when she felt he could improve his learning or even his attitude towards the work in any way. My son has a place at Sutton Grammar starting in September 2024 and couldn’t be happier. My younger son will be starting with Yasmin when his journey starts. Yasmin is dedicated, kind and so personal, perfect for our family.

Yasemin is an experienced and excellent tutor with a kind and calm manner. She effectively covered a huge amount of Maths and English content with my daughter, supporting her through the 11+ process and ensuring she is confident going forward in the transition to secondary school. She gives regular feedback and provides plenty of materials necessary.

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.

Rosanna at Powertutors connecting us with Christine who has been a lovely teacher for Psychology for our son. She is patient, calm and can break down difficult concepts into easier words. This has helped our son with ASD and I recommend her for children with special learning needs. Thank you for your help PT!
