ABOUT USFinding the genius of every child
Unlike many other tutoring companies, we only use fully qualified, experienced teachers, many of whom are also studying for additional qualifications to further deepen their knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning. Continuing professional development is hugely important to us and we invest heavily in our team so that the tuition is continually of the highest quality. Within our team we currently have a tutor who is studying for an MA in children’s literature and one who is in the process of submitting her doctoral thesis in education.
Due to the platform we use for online teaching, all lessons can be recorded and watched again in order to further support each student’s learning.The sign of a good tutoring relationship is that it does not continue forever. We give our students the skills both pastorally and academically so they can continue independently. We don’t believe in tutoring for the sake of it. What drives us is giving students the confidence, self-belief and skill set in order to be able to achieve long term, not just to pass an exam.
An initial assessment which comes with a detailed report of identified strengths and areas of development
A written report after every lesson targeting areas for development. Monthly student reviews to measure progress against curriculum expectations and to allow parents to track their child’s progress
Bespoke, tailored lessons created around the needs of your child as identified by the initial assessment and ongoing tutor assessment. Engaging, interesting content designed to inspire and spark interest not to bore.
Small, select team of experienced teachers who have an innate understanding of the UK education system. Each teacher will provide a holistic approach, mentoring students and guiding each student through the process of tutoring and exam preparation
Valued relationship between parents and tutors; building long term success through a transparent, triangulated approach
We are a team of experienced teachers with decades of expertise gained in the classroom in both the state and private sectors. Based in the UK, we offer online tuition for the following exams: 7+, 11+ 13+, Scholarship, GCSEs, IB, EBACC and A-levels.
We work with students who are based within the UK but also globally thanks to the online classroom we use. We have a wealth of experience working with students overseas who are looking to enter the UK education system.
Our passion and knowledge for teaching is what makes us outstanding practitioners in this field. As experienced teachers and exam markers, we have spent years honing our practice to ensure that we deliver the highest quality, bespoke tutoring for our students. All of our tutors have a background in teaching their chosen subjects and are high-achieving academics themselves.
Founder of Aster Tuition, Sarah Capewell, has nearly two decades of experience in education and has prepared countless students for entry to some of the UK’s most prestigious day and boarding schools, as well as helping students to achieve success at GCSE and A-level.
Whilst academic success is what drives us, nurturing our students is at the heart of everything we do. Get in touch to find out more.
