A strong relationship changes how they learn
When your child has a tutor who takes the time to really get to know them and earn their trust, they become more willing to ask questions and say when something doesn't make sense. Learning feels more enjoyable and relevant, building confidence where it's needed and encouraging them to challenge themselves and aim higher academically.
“My daughter has made a huge improvement since undertaking tutoring - her confidence has grown significantly, she asks questions and her engagement at school has improved. My daughter is inspired by her tutor and looks forward to the session every week and she really enjoys learning. I am so pleased we decided to use Tutoring Heroes.”
“Our 13 year old has been doing a maths lesson a week for a couple of years now. He does it as an extra activity to consolidate and improve his skills because he enjoys it. He has comfortably remained in the top set and impressed his teacher. We also added science tutoring and he absolutely smashed his end of year exams, finishing in the top 5% for the year. His tutors are young enough to relate to tweens and teens and build excellent working relationships.”
More than the lesson itself
Membership means more than regular one-to-one lessons. It means a carefully chosen tutor who gets to know your child, backed by an academic team that's there for both of you.
The right tutor from our team
We take the time to understand your child and what you're looking for, then choose the tutor from our team we believe is best suited to them.
Someone who really gets to know them
Regular sessions give your child's tutor time to really get to know them. As that relationship develops, so does their understanding of how best to support them.
Keeping you closely involved
We'll keep you updated on your child's progress and make sure you always have experienced educational support to turn to, both for their tutoring and as you navigate the decisions that come with each stage of their education.
An academic team behind the tutoring
Our academic team is led by qualified teachers Alan Hepworth, Founder and Head of Education, and Lara Peachey, Academic Lead. We remain closely involved in the tutoring, with our experience as teachers helping to shape the support your child receives.
Getting started
A thoughtful match, from the very first conversation.
Tell us about your child
We want to understand more than the subject or subjects they need support with. Tell us about your child, what they're like, what they enjoy and what you'd like them to achieve through tutoring.
We consider the right tutor
We use what you've told us, alongside your child's academic needs, to decide which of our tutors we think will suit them best. If they need support across more than one subject, we'll also consider whether it's better for them to work with one tutor or more.
Meet in a free taster session
Your child meets the tutor we think will suit them best and experiences a lesson together. It's a chance to see how they get on before you decide whether you'd like to continue.
Begin ongoing tutoring
If you'd like to continue after the taster, we'll get everything set up for your child to begin their ongoing weekly tutoring.

You know they are capable of more
Their confidence has started to dip
They second-guess their answers, avoid work they find difficult or have started to believe that a subject simply isn't for them.
Learning feels like a struggle
They may be finding particular topics difficult, falling behind in a subject or getting results that don't reflect the effort they're putting in.
They're ready to be pushed further
They may already be doing well but would benefit from greater challenge to keep progressing and aim even higher.

Tutoring for every stage of their education

Secondary
Strengthen understanding as subjects become more demanding, tackling difficulties early while helping your child build on their strengths and keep progressing.
GCSE
Strengthen subject knowledge, build confidence and develop effective exam technique, with focused support towards the GCSE grades your child is capable of achieving.
A-level
Develop the deeper subject understanding A-levels demand, mastering more challenging content and working towards ambitious academic goals.
Our story
English tuition sessions were previously conducted 3-to-1, with each tutor dividing their time between three students. Moving to 1-on-1 online tutoring let each private tutor focus fully on an individual student's learning journey, subject knowledge and interests — leading to faster progress, sooner learning outcomes and greater confidence. It also broadened our talent pool beyond Guernsey to the UK's most skilled and inspiring English tutors. Our tutors have a proven track record supporting students from primary and secondary schools across the island, including Castel and La Houguette Primary Schools, and Les Beaucamps and Guernsey Grammar Secondary Schools.

Academic levels that we support
English tuition begins at Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6), aligned with the national curriculum, offering the one-on-one time and active question-asking environment classrooms often can't. Primary students also receive exam preparation for 11+, 13+, SATs and school entrance exams. At secondary level, tutors help ease the transition into Years 7-9, and provide GCSE students with time management skills, exam revision support for all major exam boards, and top exam tips. AS and A-level students receive exam preparation support and mock exam practice for English Language or Literature.
