Alpha Tutoring was founded with one simple mission: to help students reach their full potential. The aim of this tutoring service has always been, and will always continue to be, the education of the students, as individuals. We do not standardise our learning like a school; instead, we approach every student separately and tailor the lessons to ensure the style of learning matches their personality and how they learn.

Many of our students notice a remarkable difference after just one session. Their confidence begins to grow, and those tricky “brain blocks” start to disappear as concepts become clearer. It’s not uncommon for students to develop a newfound enjoyment for the subject and even look forward to their tutoring sessions. But don’t just take our word for it—see what parents and students have to say in our testimonials!

We pride ourselves on our brilliant team of tutors, each of whom has been carefully selected for their exceptional skills, dedication, and passion for education. Our tutors bring expertise from a wide range of fields, including teaching, academia, and professional industries, ensuring that students receive well-rounded and practical support tailored to their individual needs.

Our tutors aren’t just experts in their subjects—they are also skilled communicators with the ability to connect with students of all ages and abilities. From experienced teachers who understand local curriculums to professionals who bring real-world applications into their teaching, our team is equipped to provide an enriching and inspiring learning experience.

The tutoring sessions are informal, safe spaces where students can feel confident and comfortable to ask any questions. In the first session, or sometimes in preparation for the first session, we may ask students to complete random questions from their chosen subject; this is in no way a test! It simply gives us a starting point as it enables us to acknowledge areas of strengths and weaknesses.

(Please note, we tend not to do this for primary ages, as we worry that it may be a bit too daunting for some students.) Quite often, within less than an hour we can get a feel for how the student learns, their attitude, motivation and any “brain blocks” as we call them! (Brain block, noun: Where the brain will just not allow a concept to compute). Rest assured, we are experts at solving brain blocks!

Our tutors are all friendly and willing to help. We frequently have parents message us in the week with homework questions they are struggling with, and we’re happy to help with these straight away, free of charge. Quite often the families of our students become lifelong friends. This may be a “business” in the legal sense, but it is very much a personal experience that the students will receive.

The tutors are hand-picked and have undergone extensive training in addition to their previous qualifications. We ensure that every tutor is reliable, flexible, competent and a “real person” in their ability to discuss concepts and communicate with students effectively. They will give parents a brief overview of the session at the end, and formal reports can also be requested. For more information about our tutors as individuals, please see the “Our tutors” tab.
