Cheltenham Tutors was founded by William, an experienced teacher with a broad background across primary, middle, private, and special schools. He has worked across all key stages, with particular expertise in Year 6 SATs and 11+ preparation, and a strong track record of helping students grow in confidence, understanding, and outcomes.
William holds a BA (Hons), a PGCE, and a Master’s degree in Education, and has co-founded a local education charity. His tutoring is informed by deep classroom experience and a commitment to high-quality, thoughtful teaching.
Our ApproachCheltenham Tutors was established at the start of the pandemic with the aim of providing accessible, high-quality online tuition for schools, families, and students. During this period, William worked closely with local schools and families to deliver hundreds of hours of online support to pupils who needed additional help.
More recently, Cheltenham Tutors has worked in partnership with the local education authority, providing educational support for students awaiting school placements. Today, tuition continues to be offered both online and face-to-face, alongside the development of structured online courses designed to support learners more flexibly.
Group TuitionAlongside one-to-one tuition, Cheltenham Tutors offers small, in-person group tuition designed to combine academic rigour with thoughtful, relational teaching.
Groups are carefully structured to provide clear, step-by-step progression in key areas including primary English, mathematics, SATs preparation and 11+ foundations. Sessions are taught in small groups to ensure that each pupil is known, supported and appropriately stretched.
Group tuition is particularly well suited to families seeking:
• High-quality learning grounded in real classroom experience
• Calm, focused and interactive learning environments
• Structured academic challenge without unnecessary pressure
• The benefits of collaborative small-group discussion
For many pupils, working alongside peers strengthens confidence, independence and resilience while maintaining high academic standards.
Group tuition may be taken as a standalone option or alongside one-to-one support, depending on the individual needs of the child.
