Best Private Tutors in Shalford, Surrey (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

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.

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 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.

Mark has really helped my two children gain confidence in their work. He is such an approachable man, very helpful and really cares about the children. Thank you Mark for all your help. Sally and Simon

Mark has been excellent for our son, helping him study for secondary school exams. He is an excellent tutor who makes studying fun, so much so that our son kept on his weekly sessions after his exams.

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!

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.

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 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 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

Highly recommend, my son attended the 3 day A'level maths revision course and found it excellent he is now feeling far more confident and tackling his revision rather than burying his head in the sand. Thank you Kathryn

My daughter, Eva, thoroughly enjoyed the GCSE Maths course. We are definitely going to sign up for the sciences one in the near future. Many thanks for teaching Eva in a very positive and nurturing setting. Best wishes, Julie Robinson

Rating: 5 / 5

Although some of the courses may seem bit daunting at first, it's honestly a very relaxing and fun course. With top quality resources and examples coupled with the optimism and nonchalance of the tutor, you can really learn a lot in this place. Would highly recommend (especially for science).

My son was very happy to attend every day and his confidence in the subject increased greatly.

Anna first met us (at our home which was amazing) when Jai had just turned 3 for an assessment. I was very impressed with her warm and friendly attitude and she has been working with Jai at his pace since. She is an amazing instructor and works flexibly and even when she is poorly to keep children doing their best! Jai is still doing his Kumon and despite moving overseas, we're still working with Anna. Thank you for everything you do for our children and families Anna!!

My daughter started Kumon while she was in year 4, middle group in maths, and within 6 months she was moved to the greater depth group. Now approaching her Sats she is the highest achiever in her class with great results. She is now two years above her level and very confident to start secondary in September. Thanks to Anna who was super helpful and encouraging every step of the way, kumon works wonders.

We have been with Kumon Guildford for a few years now and are very happy. Anna is very helpful, very regular with her classes as well as sending work on time. She also gives really detailed feedback on all the work my son does as well as the tests. Can recommend her to anyone looking to get into kumon study!

We are very happy with the progress, our daughter has made in both Maths and English since starting Kumon . She is able to read fluently and has a great understanding of phonics, which showcases the effectiveness of Kumon’s teaching methodology. We are grateful for your support Anna. Thank you so much for providing a positive and encouraging learning environment.
