William
Founder, Cheltenham Tutors Ltd
Cheltenham Tutors Ltd was founded at the start of the pandemic with the purpose of providing affordable and accessible tuition to students. With schools closing and all learning being remote, we thought that there was a need to offer additional educational support to schools, families, and children. We also thought that this tuition should be accessible to all.
We therefore provided affordable online tuition throughout the pandemic and we worked with local schools and families to deliver hundreds of hours of online tutoring. 9am to 3pm each day, we logged on to support students in their learning and to offer 1-2-1 teaching. We greatly enjoyed working with all the wonderful schools, families, and students and making a difference to the education of many children.
Now that life is returning to normal and schools are fully open again, we continue to offer affordable tuition to schools and we are happy to take on private clients as well. We offer our tutoring predominantly face to face.
We specialise in meeting students where they are at and moving them forward in their learning. Because we are run by teachers, we know what students need to cover in their curriculum, where they should be academically, and how best to accelerate progress in learning.
We also believe that all students are capable of making good progress, and that it is normal to struggle and need extra help. The tutoring we provide is professional, effective, and supportive. It starts with getting to know the student and moves onto boosting academic performance, all in an atmosphere which is personal and supportive.
We are able to provide tutoring for a range of subjects within the primary curriculum. The core subjects which students tend to need extra help in are the three Rs of primary education: reading, writing, and arithmetic. From years of educational practice, we know where the common pitfalls are in these subjects and how best to deliver them so that the students make quick and lasting progress.
Our central aim is to build the student up from the inside out so that they become more confident in their academic abilities and have the skills required to develop to their fullest potential throughout their education.
We are also able to provide 11+ preparation. This requires a focused programme of study in Mathematics, English language skills (verbal reasoning), and non-verbal reasoning. We recommend a year of term-time tuition to prepare for the 11+, starting when your child enters Y5 and continuing until they sit the exam in September of Y6. We also recommend that your child sits at least one mock exam to prepare them for the entrance exam.
We are more than happy to consult with you about your child’s educational needs. Please get in contact if you have questions or would like to arrange a short conversation.
They’ve [the tutoring sessions] boosted his confidence massively and he approaches maths in a much calmer manner now, believing he can actually solve the problems put to him

Our son happily goes for his lessons and responds well to the praise he receives from William
Parent of a Year 1 student
Our tutoring sessions have proved invaluable during lock-down, so much so that we’ve continued to use him even though we are back at school. My child thoroughly enjoys their time together; he has learnt so much and it has really built his confidence
