Best Private Tutors in Ockham, Surrey (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

I was the first child David ever tutored, I cannot express the gratitude I have for this man. Not only did he figure out how my brain worked and tailor our lessons to help me grasps concepts, breaking things down in ways I could understand, he also helped figure out how to motivate me. He came each week with determination, patience and empathy. I would not have become a Leeds university graduate without his tutoring. I couldn't recommend anyone more, you won't find anyone as good at tailoring to individual educational and emotional needs.

David is a fantastic maths tutor. He tutored both my children and helped them get the grades they needed for studying their chosen subjects at college. He made sure they understood all the basics before moving on to more complex concepts and always explained everything very clearly. He is very patient, supportive and encouraging. I could not recommend him enough.

David quickly developed a great rapport with our son. He helped him increase his confidence and he was able to get the grade he needed for his GCSE maths.

Rating: 5 / 5

David has supported both my children individually in maths over many years, my son from yr7-11 and my daughter subsequently from year 4, who is now in year 10. He has been fantastic! My son said David was “Very good at structural revision. Good at teaching step by step and also pushes you to achieve the best you can.” He managed to encourage my son to realise how he could do really well in the higher maths GCSE and in fact he achieved a grade6 which for a dyslexic was fantastic! My daughter says “David is really good at letting you learn the way that suits you rather than forcing you to do maths a particular way”. She’s determined now she has the confidence in herself, to also take the higher paper. As a parent I feel relaxed that David will support my child for long term achievement. They’ve always liked the way he uses the iPad so they can write on the screen and he sets useful homework to practice what they learn each week, if you want that. We are really happy with David’s support.

Never a five-star review has been more well deserved than this one for Mark at Guildford Tuition. My 10 year old daughter has just been offered a place for Year 7 at one of the top schools for girls in Surrey. This would not have been possible without the incredible work Mark has done with her over the past year. Not only she has passed the 11+ entrance exams, but also with excellent results and a very positive feedback from the School. From his fun (but rigorous) approach to learning, to his superb strategising and bespoke support to ensure she confidently and successfully sat the entrance exams. Past the exams, she will continue learning and growing her skills with Mark. I cannot recommend Mark more to any parent who is committed to their children's education and future success. Thank You Very Much!

Mark has been my tutor since year 4 and I'm about to go to RGS. He is a great tutor because he can help you with anything you're struggling with and push you further.

Rating: 5 / 5

We couldn't recommend Mark more highly. His patience and skill at explaining concepts clearly has been critical in helping both our children succeed, but most of all in building confidence in their abilities.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

Explore learning has helped my son progress so much since starting in September. His confidence has improved so much. The team are so friendly en helpful. Highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

I can not express enough how wonderful this tutoring centre has been for my child. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that they genuinely cared about meeting each child's individual needs. The tailored approach to learning has made such a difference, with the tutors providing exceptional support in areas where my child needed it most. A special mention must go to the manager, Kim, whose dedication and kindness have truly stood out! Kim takes the time to understand the unique challenges my child faces and works tirelessly to ensure they feel supported and confident. Her professionalism and warm nature make every visit a positive experience. I couldn't recommend them more highly. Truly a fantastic place for any child’s educational needs!

My child is very happy at woking explore. The staff are very helpful and friendly and accommodate everyone. My child has made lots of progress. If your child is not confident enough to put their hand up in class explore learning helps massively. Explore Learning helps build confidence.

Rating: 5 / 5

I can’t recommend Explore Learning more highly. My experience so far is of a place that builds confidence, offers tailored support in small groups, is flexible, understanding and nurturing. With regular progress meetings, and parent portals you can keep track of any areas which need more help, as well as access additional learning for home. The team are great and provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I’m incredibly grateful to them for the difference in confidence I am already seeing in my son.

Bilal is an excellent science teacher. He has a relax teaching approach but very effective. He is flexible with class timings to support my son who has 6 days school. He works around my son’s style of learning and my son (year 10) has been getting good scores across all sciences in school exams. Bilal has been guiding and teaching my son since year 9 covering all 3 sciences. Highly recommend Bilal for all science subject tutoring.

Rating: 5 / 5

Bilal was brilliant tutoring my daughter chemistry and physics. Her gcse grades went up 2 levels with his guidance. He is punctual, professional and patient! Also he made sure to find different ways of explaining concepts until he found the right one that made sense to my daughter. I highly recommend him.

Rating: 5 / 5

Bilal is literally a miracle science tutor. My daughter had spent several months with another tutor who let her down and I then came across Bilal. I even considered deferring a year as she was so behind. Using the appropriate resources and through his brilliant teaching style, Bilal gave her the confidence and guidance to continue. She literally came up at least three grades within three months. She got excellent passes in double science and is now at the sixth form of her choice. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bilal to anyone considering a science tutor. You will not regret it.

Rating: 5 / 5

My son has been working with Bilal for a few months and the improvement in his understanding and confidence in science has been incredible. Bilal is patient, knowledgeable, and has a real gift for explaining complex concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. I highly recommend Bilal to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective science tutor. Thank you for making such a positive impact!

Eden Tutors have been fantastic in supporting my son's love of learning. He needed stretch and challenge in his subjects, and the tutor has been reliable, patient, encouraging, and highly knowledgeable. Thank you, Eden Tutors!

I am absolutely thrilled with the standard of teaching from Eden Tutors. Hannah is amazing with my daughter, so patient and calm and we have had such great results. I would highly recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Hannah is a great teacher and so natural with young children. My 7 year old son took to her instantly when she came to do his initial assessment. She creates a personalised learning experience, providing the right level of challenge and support for each child. Hannah is always patient and kind and keeps our son engaged and motivated throughout the lessons. Highly Highly recommend Hannah!

Rebecca is very patient and her lessons are very interactive and engaging. Thanks to her, my daughter has managed to catch up on the delay she accumulated with her English during Covid, and now we have moved abroad, she is keeping up with the English curriculum through the online tuition. So very satisfied and I highly recommend Eden Tutors.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Elliot has been a huge help to my children sitting their GCSE sciences. He is engaging in all aspects, the kids love him and find his teaching style hugely beneficial. He is also so helpful with revision techniques. I cannot recommend Elliot more highly.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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

Sarah is very good Maths tutor. She helped our son to progress in Maths from good range (in year 9) to grade 9 in year 10 in a short time (6 months only). Sarah is very helpful, supportive and friendly. She always supports my son prior to his school exam, she prepares extra questions and happy to cover the topics that my son struggles with in school.

Rating: 5 / 5

Yesterday was the GCSE results day, a very happy day for us! We have approached Sarah back in May 2023 when we desperately needed help for my daughter to improve her grades. Sarah has worked so hard with my daughter and today we had a great result- a jump from a grade 3 in the mock tests to a grade 6 in the actual GCSE exam. For any parent looking for maths tuition, Maths Magic is the answer to your prayers. Thank you so much for all your hard work Sarah!

Rating: 5 / 5

Sarah is a great maths teacher. Although my daughter attended her lessons for only 3 / 4 months, she loved going to her classes and was able to learn a lot. Sarah has the ability to realise children’s potential and enciurages them to reach their goals.

Rating: 5 / 5

Sarah is a great teacher. My girls have shown great improvement with her. With the regular home work scheme, students get good grip on the concepts. It also keeps parents involved with the child's activity and learning progress.I feel satisfied about the learning growth of my girls as they are going to Sarah. I can't think of success of my girls without Sarah's support. She has become compulsion for the academic journey of my girls. I would like to say a huge thanks to Sarah for her dedication and honest efforts. Wishing you best of luck and good health Sarah!!

Rosy is amazing. She guided my son taking account of his dyslexia to show him a way that he could shine in English. He massively overachieved his expectations on his GCSE and Rosy takes much of the credit. Thank you for the support you gave

Nikol is an amazing teacher who has been helping my son a lot. She is very kind and patient. With her help my son got offer from two very good independent schools (13+) in the Surrey area. We would highly recommend her.

Rating: 5 / 5

Rosy has been an invaluable part of my daughter’s 11+ journey. She is so kind with a gentle character, my daughter genuinely looks forward to her sessions with Rosy. She has come such a long way and we feel super lucky to have found her!

Rating: 5 / 5

We are absolutely delighted with the progress our daughters have made under Nikol's guidance. She is not only highly knowledgeable but also warm and approachable, which has helped our children feel comfortable and confident in their learning journey. This year our older daughter successfully passed both the SET and the Second Stage Entrance Examination (NWSEE), and we have seen a remarkable improvement in our younger daughter's performance, with outstanding results at the end of Year 3 last year. We are truly grateful for the positive impact Nikol has had on their education. Highly recommended!

Arzoo is an amazing Maths tutor, she helps boost confidence and understanding. I highly recommend her!

Rating: 5 / 5

Can’t thank Sumit and Aarzoo enough for the help and support they gave my son in preparation for his GCSEs last year, which undoubtedly helped him achieve a whole two grades above his expected grade in his final exams for Maths. Aarzoo helped him to understand the more tricky areas in a relatable way he could understand and therefore gave him the confidence when sitting his exams. Great communication, flexible and professional but in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Genuinely had my sons best interests at heart and would highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Aarzoo, is an great tutor and has been able to compact down GCSE maths (resist) topics too make them more understandable which has helped in my maths revision . She has also helped how I approach the exam and has given me more confidence in a short amount of time since I have only had tutoring for less than 2 months.

Rating: 5 / 5

Aarzoo is an excellent Maths tutor, and has tutored all three of my children. She has given them the confidence and skills needed to improve their understanding of Maths, thus allowing them to achieve higher GCSE results. She is patient and understanding of each child’s needs and instructs them accordingly. I highly recommend getting in touch with Aarzoo for your child’s Maths tutoring.
