About the Business
We are a local tuition agency covering Chelmsford and surrounding areas. We offer a range of school subjects from Primary, through GCSE to A Level including English, Maths, Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology), Economics, Business Studies, Spanish, German and other Languages. See our complete subject range below.
We always telephone parents to discuss requirements so that your son or daughter is allocated the best tutor in your area. Our track record is excellent as each year about forty percent of our business comes from repeat requests or personal recommendation.

Information for Parents and Students
Tutoring differs from teaching in a school because the skills and approach needed are:
- one-to-one personal interaction.
- flexibility in teaching style to fit each student.
- tutoring at a pace to fit each student.
- often tutoring topics which were not understood in school.
- practising learning and exam techniques.
A good relationship tends to develop between tutor and student so that the association is one of friend and mentor.
Amount of tutoring required:
We usually have three kinds of tutoring arrangements:
Weekly tuition: This regular one-hour tuition is a supplement to a student’s schooling and ensures that the student understands and learns the subject week by week as he/she attends school. It can compensate for insufficient individual attention due to large class size, difficulty in grasping concepts or poor motivation.
Catch-up sessions: These are useful to review the student’s grasp of a concept. They allow the student to “catch up” and to thoroughly understand a topic which was causing problems.
Exam preparation: This is useful before internal exams, mocks or formal exams. The tuition required will depend on the level such as GCSE or A level. Extra tuition is useful to reduce feelings of panic and loss of confidence. Exam techniques can be practised.
Tuition is not a quick-fix solution. The amount of tuition required will depend on the needs, aptitude and effort of each student.
