Personalized Learning for Your Child's Success

Tara's tutors - our story ...

Tara's Tutors began life almost 22 years ago, with one person (unsurprisingly, Tara) carrying a big red tutoring suitcase from house to house and delivering english lessons to what, at times, felt like all of North West London and its surroundings. All these years later, we have become an established agency - covering all the subjects in the curriculum - still with Tara at the helm (albeit that the big red suitcase is now static, but still lovingly crammed with texts ranging from Shakespeare to Margaret Atwood to Tennessee Williams) Luckily for Tara she can now tutor her own kids (they're thrilled - see our testimonial page for details) and she can also shamelessly exploit them for marketing purposes (spot them scattered across the website being all diligent and stuff)

important to know...

Our ethos

We don't believe in a one size fits all approach to tutoring or education, and nor do we believe that a expert CV means an expert tutor. All our tutors are vetted and interviewed, by Tara, before we approve them. We do not just want subject knowledge - we want that knowledge delivered in a way that is dynamic and engaging, and the only way to ensure that it to see a lesson in action. Someone clever once said - 'teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre.' Fact. Without that commitment and energy, lessons fall flat and pupils will not engage.

tutor backgrounds

Our tutors come from a variety of backgrounds : some still teach in the classroom, some are full time tutors, some are retired teachers. This eclectic mix allows us the scope to match up the right tutor and pupil - what works for one child doesn't work for another, so a variety of temperaments, personalities and backgrounds gives us the ability to find the perfect match.

What is covered?

Short answer? Everything. From 7 and 11 plus exam preparation to Degree level support and anything in between.

But isn't an agency impersonal and hard to trust?

Maybe - but not this one. It's not faceless. Tara very much manages the day to day runnings and is on hand for anything a tutor, parent or pupil might require. She also practices what she preaches; her own kids have lessons with some of her tutors (a good general ruie of thumb is she would never take on a tutor she wouldn't use for her own kids) Apart from in English - where said kids have to endure their mother teaching them. Which they love. By still teaching, Tara is able to keep her hand in, doing what she loves, and making sure she can get the best out her tutors.
