At Dukes Tutoring, we believe that the best tutors are not only skilled but also enthusiastic, empathetic, and able to build strong, supportive relationships with their students. This is why we carefully match our tutors to students based on their academic needs, learning styles, and personalities. By doing so, we ensure that each lesson is enjoyable yet focused, allowing students to thrive both academically and emotionally.
The Right Support for Your Child
Our tutors are 11+ specialists who are fully supported by a team of senior teachers. This team offers guidance and ensures that tutors have the right information and materials to help your child succeed. With Dukes Tutoring, you are not just getting an individual tutor – you’re gaining access to a whole team of 11+ specialists dedicated to making your child’s experience positive and successful.
Why Tutors Choose Dukes Tutoring
The idea for this blog stemmed from our observations while interviewing numerous prospective tutors. Tutors consistently highlight three key reasons they apply to work with Dukes Tutoring:
1. Our child-centred ethos and professionalism
2. Our strong reputation among other tutors
3. The training, development, and ongoing support our tutors receive
The Dukes Tutoring WayÂ
At Dukes Tutoring, we take a child-centric approach. Your child is our priority, and we pride ourselves on maintaining high standards through continuous training and support for our tutors. Parents can trust that there is always someone available to answer their questions, providing advice and guidance every step of the way.
We support children of all ages and abilities, from highly academic students preparing for selective school exams or Oxbridge applications, to children who may need extra help with basic study skills or special educational support. We are here to help every child reach their full potential.
What Parents Are Saying
Here’s what a few parents have said about their experience with Dukes Tutoring:
- “I’ve used Dukes Tutoring for my two sons, and both tutors had an excellent relationship with them. They took the time to get to know my children and support them in the most effective way. We have been really pleased with their service!”
- “I’ve used Dukes Tutoring for 11+ tutoring and interview preparation for my four kids. The quality of the tutors is fantastic; each one has made a real difference to my children’s confidence and achievements. They are also very approachable and responsive to concerns. I would thoroughly recommend them.”
How We Support Our Tutors
All Dukes Tutoring tutors undergo extensive training through the our academy, which includes subject-specific training, resources, and guidance on pacing lessons. Our tutors also receive ongoing support from senior teachers, ensuring they always have access to advice and feedback on their teaching.
Every tutor submits monthly progress reports for their students, measuring progress against tailored targets. These reports not only reassure parents about their child’s development but also help shape the focus of upcoming lessons. This regular communication allows parents to feel involved in their child’s progress and ensures a strong connection between home and tutoring.
Why Dukes Tutoring Stands Out
We offer much more than just academic tutoring. Our entire team works cohesively to ensure every child receives the best possible support, both academically and emotionally. The feedback we get from parents and tutors alike highlights the positive, supportive environment we’ve created.
Here’s a final review from a satisfied parent:
- “Absolutely brilliant. From initial assessment, bespoke tutoring for all four of the core 11+ subjects, transition to online, support, and ultimately the 11+ exams themselves, Dukes Tutoring has been stellar. The team is dedicated and invested in our child’s success. Our son achieved a place in his first-choice grammar school, thanks to Dukes Tutoring. Really impressed!”
We’re passionate about making tutoring effective and fun. We pride ourselves on our professionalism, expertise, and commitment to ensuring your child succeeds. Whether you’re preparing for 11+, tackling school subjects, or simply want to build confidence, we are here to help your child reach their full potential.
