A tutor from our network of qualified teachers, exceptional graduates and industry professionals, hand matched to your child for their subject knowledge, teaching approach and personality. We share the tutor’s profile with you first.

Yes. Every Emerson Tuition tutor holds an enhanced DBS check, and it’s shown on their profile. Emerson Tuition is a member of The Tutors’ Association.

Yes, it is something we have particular experience of. We start with the individual rather than the label: how they process information, what helps them engage and where the barriers are. See neurodiversity and SEND.

No. Some students need to fill gaps or rebuild confidence, others are already achieving highly and want more challenge. We start wherever the student is.

Individually, and with purposeful preparation rather than pressure: English, maths, and verbal and non-verbal reasoning where the chosen schools require them, with exam technique, timed practice and confidence-building. See 11+ and entrance exams.

Only where it helps. For Primary children we don’t routinely add homework for the sake of it, and may suggest small, useful things to practise. Entrance exam preparation sometimes needs more structured practice, always weighed against the child’s workload. At GCSE we may set past papers, then use the lesson to work out where marks are being lost.

Yes, from teaching a single subject to GCSE preparation, alongside whatever approach your family follows. See home education support.
