From Cheltenham and Gloucester to Stroud, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean, finding a good local tutor often means a long waiting list or a long drive. Tutormint matches your child with a dedicated one-to-one tutor who teaches their exact syllabus (11+, GCSE, A-Level) online, from home, starting within days. First lesson free.
Gloucestershire is one of the few counties that kept its grammar schools. Places at schools in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud are decided by the Gloucestershire grammar schools entrance test in Year 6, and competition for them is serious. Add the county's independent schools and sixth forms that set GCSE grade bars, and many families are planning tuition years ahead.
The county is also large and largely rural. The tutors with the strongest reputations cluster in Cheltenham and Gloucester, fill their timetables early, and may be a thirty-minute drive from your village.
Online one-to-one tutoring gives you another option:
Structured preparation for the Gloucestershire grammar schools entrance test: practice in the question styles the test uses across English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, plus timing and exam confidence, without burning your child out in Year 5.
Preparation matched to the entrance exam format of your target independent school, in Cheltenham or elsewhere in the county.
Topic-by-topic revision, past papers and mark-scheme technique for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and other boards. Sixth forms set grade requirements; we work backwards from them.
Specialist tutors for university-bound students: extended answer technique, data interpretation and the subject depth competitive offers demand.
Foundations in Maths, English and Science, plus structured, calm Year 6 SATs preparation.
We revisit weak topics before your child chooses GCSE options.
Tell us your child's year group, subject and goal. Form, phone or WhatsApp.
Take a free one-to-one demo class. No payment.
The demo doubles as an assessment: where your child is, what's missing, what to do next.
We match a tutor by subject, level and learning style.
Weekly lessons begin, with homework support and a progress update after every session.
If your child needs help now, waiting for a local tutor's diary to open is not much use. Book a free demo and the tutor will use the lesson to check their current level and explain what to work on. Regular lessons can usually begin within days.
You can meet the tutor and see how your child responds before deciding whether to continue.
