What are the signs my child could benefit from a tutor?

Struggles with homework

If your child regularly avoids, hides, or struggles with homework, they may be falling behind or feeling unchallenged. This can lead to poor habits and mounting stress over time.

Fallen behind in one subject

When a key concept is missed, it’s tough to catch up, especially if the class has moved on. This can cause frustration and disinterest, making the gap even wider.

Low confidence in class

Is your child chatty at home but quiet at school? A reluctance to speak up in lessons may point to low confidence in their understanding and a need for support.

Learning difficulties

If your child has a diagnosed or suspected learning difficulty, school support may not be enough. A tutor can offer tailored help.

They’re ahead of their peers

Tutoring isn’t just for catching up. High achievers often benefit from extra challenge and enrichment to stay motivated and avoid boredom-related behaviour issues.

Big exams are coming

Upcoming SATs? Focused tutoring in the lead-up can boost confidence, close gaps, and improve results when it matters most.

They’ve missed school

Extended absences due to illness or family issues can create learning gaps. Tutoring helps maintain momentum or bridge missed learning once they’re back.
