Real students. Real results.

We let our students and their parents do the talking. Here's what families have said about working with TFT Tutoring.

★★★★★

My daughter went from a predicted grade 4 to achieving a grade 7 in Maths. The tutor was patient, encouraging, and always made the sessions feel manageable. Absolutely worth every penny.

Priya Nambiar
Parent of Year 11 student
★★★★★

I used to dread English. Now I actually enjoy it. The way the sessions are structured made everything click – and my mock results have gone up massively since I started.

Zara Okonkwo
Year 11 student
★★★★★

As a parent I wanted reassurance as much as results. TFT gave us both. The tutor was professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout. I would recommend to any GCSE family.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your child is struggling to keep up, losing confidence, scoring lower than expected in mocks, or just needs structured support, tutoring can make a real difference. We also work with students who are on track but want to push for top grades. A free consultation will help us understand whether we're the right fit.
Sessions are typically 60 minutes long. For most students, one session per week per subject is ideal. As exams approach, we can increase frequency. We'll recommend a schedule based on your child's needs in the initial consultation.
We offer both. Online sessions are delivered via Zoom or Google Meet with an interactive whiteboard. In-person sessions are available in [Location – placeholder]. Many families find online sessions more convenient and just as effective.
Yes. Our tutor holds an enhanced DBS certificate and has completed Level 2 Safeguarding training. The welfare of every student is our highest priority. We are happy to share DBS documentation on request.
Every student progresses at their own pace, but most families notice improved confidence within the first few sessions. Measurable grade improvement typically becomes visible within 4–8 weeks of regular tuition.
We understand that family life can be unpredictable. We ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged at the full rate. We will always aim to offer a replacement slot where possible.
Yes – we cover all major UK exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, and Eduqas. Simply let us know your child's exam board when you book and we'll tailor the sessions accordingly.
