Hi, I’m Tobias: a teacher and homeschooling specialist with nearly 15 years of experience, now based in Maidstone, Kent (formerly London). Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping students from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities achieve their goals. With a 100% pass rate in GCSE Maths and Science, I’m confident in my ability to guide your child to success.
But beyond grades, I’m passionate about building confidence, sparking curiosity, and nurturing a lifelong love of learning. I specialise in supporting students with unique learning needs, including Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and Asperger’s. Every student learns differently, and I tailor my approach to match their strengths, needs, and pace.
Whether it’s supporting homework, catching up on missed learning, or preparing for exams, I aim to make lessons engaging, encouraging, and effective. I work closely with parents to create a supportive environment where each child can grow in confidence and thrive on their own terms.
If you’re looking for a calm, committed, and caring tutor who will support your child every step of the way, I’d love to help. Get in touch, and let’s unlock your child’s full potential together.
/ Ravishangar R.
I am a qualified Design Engineer with over 8 years of tutoring experience in Mathematics (all levels) and Physics (up to GCSE). My teaching approach is structured, results-driven, and tailored to each student’s needs. I provide comprehensive lesson notes, conduct monthly assessments to track progress, and develop effective revision strategies that build confidence and long-term understanding. Many students struggle to begin their revision effectively—my methods focus on studying smarter, not harder, using proven techniques to improve retention and exam performance. If previous tutoring hasn’t delivered results, I offer a fresh, targeted approach that identifies and addresses individual learning gaps. Additional online support is available free of charge when required.
I have been a primary school teacher for 20 years and in that time have successfully led English and Mathematics in schools. I am currently a deputy headteacher, but also have an NPQH (headteacher qualification). I have previous successful experience of tutoring primary age students in English and Maths and am currently offering a limited number of sessions to help fund my son going to university!
My approach is driven by an assessment of learning need, followed by a tailor made program of tutoring designed to meet the needs of individual students. I use high quality resources and have a quiet and patient approach when working with students. I am able to offer online tutoring.
My wife is a learning support assistant, I have three children, two dogs, a cat, a tortiose and a guinea pig.
My name is Emma. I’m a have worked in school for 6 years and I have been qualified primary school teacher for 4 years.
I love working with children and I love my job.

My sessions are fun, interactive add matched to your child's needs.

So you want some additional tuition for your primary-aged child – great!
But what things are important to you in choosing the right tutor for your child?
You could hire a local University student cheaply…surely, they will know and be able to teach your child what they need, right? After all, they passed their A Levels recently, so they are ‘in touch’ with school life and what children need….aren’t they?
Or do you consider any of the following as the minimum?
Teaching Qualifications?
Actual recent or current experience as a teacher?
Knowledge of the National Curriculum?
Enhanced DBS check?
Well, a qualified teacher is a step in the right direction for sure. The curriculum knowledge a qualified teacher can bring can be priceless in supporting your child towards their academic goals.
What is the Top Tutor 4 U difference then?
1. I have 25 years’ experience in the teaching profession as Teacher, Deputy Head, Headteacher and returning to current classroom teaching experience, as children’s development and education is my true passion.
2. I have been an established and well-regarded private tutor for 8 years, amassing many successful outcomes for primary pupils in SATs and GL/CEM 11+/Selection tests. My knowledge and experience of what works in regard to these assessments can guide you as a parent while nurturing your child’s skills in the strategies and techniques to give of their best in the test.
3. I have an NHS accredited counselling skills qualification and a keen interest in the coaching and motivational approach to learning. I know that any learning challenge is as much about mindset, anxiety management and test technique as it is about ‘ability’. Within my tuition, children are slowly and steadily encouraged to take more control of their own learning and mindset as they are supported to develop the skills to do so. This means that your investment in their learning will support them in the broadest sense by developing their work ethic and ability to drive through challenges throughout their school and working life.
4. I have personal and professional experience in working with children with a range of neurodiversities, including ASD/Autism, ADHD, Anxiety issues and Dyslexia. Although I cannot profess to have a specific qualification in any of these specific areas, my 25 years teaching experience has afforded me plenty of strategies to use to support the different needs of different students.
5. My skills and experience are Top Tutor 4 U’s greatest asset and I know that the development of a trusting, supportive rapport is all important in nurturing a learner’s confidence and willingness to take learning risks and make valuable mistakes. A one-size-fits-all computer programme like some faceless (sometimes not even teaching qualified) franchise owners use in the name of ‘tuition’ can never match the targeted and dynamic professional support I can provide.
Should I choose individual tuition or group tuition for my child?
There are benefits to both types of tuition, so it really depends on your child and how you feel they would work best. Top Tutor 4 U offers both types of tuition, to suit every need and preference.
Small group tuition (3-6 students) offers these benefits:
*A group dynamic means children share knowledge and ideas can learn from others’ mistakes and successes.
*A group approach can increase the confidence of more introverted students while supporting the naturally confident student in their preferred social context.
*Needing to articulate ideas so others can understand supports and consolidates learners’ own understanding over again. We say, “When you explain, you expand your brain!”
*Using a ‘hive mind’ and speaking and listening skills improves creativity when exploring a new challenge. This can feel less pressured than having to find the entire solution individually.
*Having the opportunity to use and develop interpersonal skills to work both independently and within a team is a skill which is highly valued by employers.
*A cost saving when compared to one-to-one individualized tuition.
Individual, one-to-one tuition offers these benefits:
*A personalized and tailored approach meaning learning is adjusted to meet the individual needs of the student
*Completely dedicated time to fill gaps from school that may positively impact immediately back at school or stretch and extend learning to give a child a ‘head start’ and therefore boost their confidence in the subject matter.
*Dedicated time to explore a question/question type in depth with support, before being asked to try independently.
*The rate of new learning is matched to the student’s particular needs, ensuring that they are pushing beyond their comfort zone, yet not into the stress zone.
*Bespoke resources can be used on an individual basis.
What happens when I contact you?
a) We schedule a 10-minute needs assessment meeting or phone call, where we can discuss your child’s needs, your aims for tuition for them and plan the best approach.
b) I evaluate availability of session times and/or group tuition focuses to suit your child’s need and we agree a way forward. I also send you information and helpful paperwork about Top Tutor 4 U.
c) Your child attends a ‘Pay as you go’ initial session at an agreed date and time to establish that Top Tutor 4 U tuition is the right match for your child.
d) If you and your child are content to work with me, a bank transfer is made in advance for the half term to secure your child’s space in a group or individual session, (just as you do for many other extra-curricular activities).
The choice is yours!
You could choose any number of ways or a franchise (which may not even be run by a qualified teacher) to provide private tuition for your child.
However, if you are interested in finding out how my experience and expertise can best meet your child’s needs, do drop me a message to arrange your 10-minute needs assessment call. It will be my pleasure to formulate a plan with you to enhance your child’s future.
I can’t wait to help your child on their learning journey!

I am deeply committed to making learning a rewarding experience for every child I tutor. With patience, empathy, and an unwavering dedication to student success, I take pride in watching my students grow into confident, independent learners who are excited about their learning.

I have experience in one-to-one tuition as well as experience in the classroom.
I believe effective tuition requires one to tailor the style of approach to the specific needs of the tutee. Everyone is different, so it`s a matter for the tutor to identify just how the student would be most receptive to the information being imparted. Whether it`s a matter of building confidence in the subject, or approaching a certain concept from a different angle, I believe that one should tailor the method of teaching to the specific needs of the one being taught.
I help students aged 4 to 16 build a strong foundation for maths and teach them problem-solving skills using creative methods. I have almost 2 years of experience working teaching courses from KS2 to GCSE.
