Why choose Ilkeston Tuition Centre?
Tailored, high-quality learning in small groups
Our small group sessions (just 3-4 students per tutor) ensure your child gets plenty of 1-1 attention, giving them the confidence to ask questions and get help when they need it. Our lessons are developed by experienced teachers and use expert resources to provide high-quality learning. We’re also OFSTED registered, meaning we meet strict regulatory standards and are committed to your child’s safety and well-being.
Special needs teaching experts
If your child needs tailored support to overcome learning challenges, our experienced tutors are here to help. Our teachers are trained to work with children with a range of learning difficulties and special needs, providing personalised guidance to help them build confidence and make steady progress. Special needs requirements we can support: Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Austism, Anxiety and PDA – if you child has other requirements you can talk to us about them at our free assessment.
Fully-qualified and DBS checked tutors
All our tutors are fully qualified, experienced UK teachers with a full DBS check, so you can feel reassured that your child is getting the best tutoring and in safe hands.
Motivating award system
Children earn points for attending sessions and completing homework, unlocking certificates, sweets, pin badges, medals and trophies along the way. Big achievements can even lead to Amazon vouchers – keeping them excited and engaged as they grow in confidence and skills.
Continous learning
It’s easy for learning to slip during the holidays, but staying engaged over the 6-week break can make a big difference. Our summer enrichment programmes help your child stay on top of their learning, so they return to school feeling confident and ready for the year ahead.
Meet our fully-qualified teachers
Lystra, Centre Director - English & Maths tutor
I've been teaching for over 35 years, from class teacher to Deputy Head and Associate Head, in village and inner-city schools. I love small groups because I can spot a misunderstanding straight away and fix it before it sticks. I'm also trained in ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and children's mental health. So if your child learns a bit differently, I'll understand.
John, Maths GCSE Tutor
I’ve been teaching Maths in secondary schools for over 30 years, with some Physics along the way. I prefer small groups, where extra support and interventions help students make real progress - something that’s harder in larger classes. There’s nothing better than seeing students crack a concept they once found difficult and go on to hit their predicted grades.
Claire, English & Maths tutor
With over 35 years of teaching experience - from Primary teacher to Deputy Head and now tutor - I love working in small groups where I can really get to know each learner and understand their needs. The best part? Watching a student’s confidence grow and knowing they’re building skills for life.
Caroline, English GCSE Tutor
I have 39 years of experience teaching in the FE sector, delivering qualifications including GCSE, A Level and Functional Skills. My specialism is English Language and I take great pride in seeing learners develop their skills and achieve qualifications that will benefit them for life.
Michael, English Tutor
I have 33 years of secondary English teaching experience in both schools and the FE sector. I enjoy small groups and 1-to-1 sessions, where I can answer questions in real time and make sure every learner leaves with clarity. For me, the real joy comes from the connections and trust built along the way.
Lucy, Primary Tutor
I've been teaching for over six years, mainly in primary. I've also taught English to students all over the world, aged 2 to 70! That's shown me there's no single right way to learn. If one explanation doesn't land, I've always got another ready. Small groups mean I can encourage your child right when they need it.
Louisa, Primary Tutor & SENCo
I've taught primary for over 13 years and I'm currently a SENCo at a Nottinghamshire primary school, so spotting when a child needs extra help is my day job. I plan sessions around your child's gaps and keep checking their progress. After every session, I'll give you a quick update so you know what we covered and why.
