It has been less stressful than mainstream school and has helped me improve in maths and English.

Year 11 Alternative Education learner

My son has just finished his 10 week tuition with Clare and I really can’t recommend her enough, Joel has just started year 7 feeling more confident in his maths classes and we will 100% book Clare in the future for extra tuition if he is struggling or has exams, thank you Clare!

Kate Potter, Parent

My daughter passed her GCSE maths today, 2 grades higher than her previous result. James totally put her at her ease and arranged tailored lessons to target the areas she was weak in. Thank you

Year 12 Alternative Education learner

I’m truly proud and grateful to be one of the successful students who passed the Functional Skills English exam. A huge thank you to Key Subject Tuition and all the amazing tutors for their guidance and support. This journey has greatly boosted my confidence in using English every day. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their English skills and open new doors in life.

Farhad

The tutors are incredibly patient and truly committed to helping my daughter which has made a big difference to her overall attitude towards studying. They’ve tailored the lessons to alleviate anxieties which has significantly boosted her confidence in subjects she previously struggled with, especially Maths and Science. I couldn’t be happier with the support she has received.

Parent of a Year 11 Alternative Education learner

Thought you might like to know Millie got into northumbria university to do health and social with 2 distinctions and a merit. Couldn’t have done it without you Claire. You got her over a difficult line. The confidence you gave her has changed her life.

All I can say is that you all go above and beyond.

Key Subject Tuition is a fantastic place to learn and all staff are friendly and very helpful. Would recommend anyone to come and use Key Subject Tuition. Thank you all for everything.

 Melanie

My 16 year old son is currently doing maths tuition with Claire. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s absolutely fantastic and amazing at what she does. Will most definitely be using key subject tuition for my other two sons.

Kate Holliday , Parent

Teachers are friendly and relaxed which creates a chilled environment

I used Claire to help my 15 year old daughter who was struggling with her maths. She worked wonders within weeks. Can’t thank Claire enough and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Karen Gordan, Parent

My son’s confidence has really come on since attending Key Subject Tuition. His mental health and social skills have also improved. He is now at a point where he is planning for his future career and is excited about the possibilities. I wish he could have come to Key Subject Tuition sooner.

English classes are excellent; I love them very much. I have benefited a lot. The teaching is excellent.

Amina

Huge thank you to all the team at Key Subject Tuition! I never thought, at the age of 50, that I would be back in a learning environment doing English and Maths classes again. Your support and guidance through the courses enabled me to gain my qualifications, helping me to progress further in my NHS career! I would recommend Key Subject Tuition to anyone wanting to improve their skills. Forever grateful.

Shelley

They are very good with my granddaughter; they have given her confidence and the ability to do work there instead of a school she couldn’t cope in.

Grandparent of a Year 11 Alternative Education learner

Key Subject Tuition has played a huge part in helping me shape my future, with their help I have passed my Maths and English Functional Skills at Level 2, both very essential for my career goals. With the help of Tom and Chris, I was able to build confidence in both subjects and achieve the results I needed. They were incredibly supportive, patient and always explained things clearly. I’m genuinely grateful… I can progress my career within the NHS and apply for roles I never thought I would be able to. I am incredibly grateful for Key Subject Tuition giving me the opportunity.

Skye

I would 100% recommend this maths course! Tom is a very patient, helpful tutor and was always there for us whenever we needed help, even with it being the easiest thing! This maths course has helped me follow my dreams and be able to be a Nurse! The kindness of everyone was a lovely thing to come with it, it made the maths course very enjoyable as you always knew that when you joined the lessons there was always support there whenever you needed it! Thank you so much for helping me fulfill my dreams and be able to do the job I’ve always wanted to do

Lauren,

If I could give 6 stars to Claire’s tuition I certainly would!! When I got in touch with Claire, my eldest son was attending year 10 and he had a very worrying 2 in maths. Within a year his grades went up to a 4 and finishing with a 5 in his GCSE’s. Claire is now helping my youngest son who is attending year 9. In just 4 months of tutoring his grades went up from a 2 to a 4. It goes without saying that I would want her to be my son’s tutor until his GCSE exams

Marina Park, Parent

Key Subject Tuition is a team of professionals…always super supportive, thoughtful and caring in a very safe and respectful environment. I certified in both English and Maths Functional Skills at Level 2. My score for Key Subject Tuition is 10/10, their support means the world to me.
