Why Choose Principal Tutors for Private Tuition?
Private Tuition Tailored to Every Learner
Our service is built on a simple principle: every child learns differently. That is why our private tuition programmes are designed around your child’s individual needs, interests and learning style. Whether your goal is to catch up in key subjects, prepare for an important exam, or stretch a high achiever further, we create a unique learning plan that keeps motivation high and delivers measurable results.
Qualified Teachers, Proven Experience
At Principal Tutors, every tutor is a fully qualified UK teacher with classroom experience. We do not rely on unverified freelancers or students; our team understands the national curriculum and exam boards inside out. This professional background ensures that every private tuition session is accurate, structured and engaging—exactly what your child needs to succeed.
Fast & Personal Tutor Matching
When you request private tuition, we move quickly. After a short consultation to understand your requirements, we typically match you with a suitable tutor within 24 hours. If for any reason the first tutor is not the perfect fit, we will happily find another—your child’s progress always comes first.
Ongoing Feedback and Recorded Lessons
Every private tuition session includes a written progress report so you can track improvements lesson by lesson. For families who like to review topics together, we can also record lessons for later playback, allowing your child to revisit challenging concepts or revise before exams.
Support Beyond the Lesson
Our dedicated support team is always on hand to answer questions, help with scheduling or adjust your programme. With Principal Tutors, private tuition is never a one-off service; it’s a partnership built around your child’s long-term academic success.
We are not just a directory of tutors…
We play an active role in matching the student to the tutor, and if it isn’t quite right the first time, we will revisit the process until we find the ideal match. The tutor will then conduct an informal assessment in the first session to establish the student’s needs and then devise a personalised programme of tuition.
Our customer service provisions ensure that any problems are solved as quickly as possible so you can use Principal Tutors in the knowledge that you and your child have the full support of our organisation at all stages of the process.
The decision to engage an online tutor is one that requires some thought and research, and you are bound to have a lot of questions to ask before proceeding. Here we will attempt to answer some of the most common ones.

Benefits of Private Tuition vs. Other Options
Private tuition offers advantages that group classes and generic tutoring services simply cannot match:
-
Personalised pace and focus – Each lesson is designed around your child’s specific goals. This means they can accelerate quickly in areas of strength or take extra time to master more difficult topics.
-
Undivided attention – With one-to-one private tuition, the tutor focuses solely on your child. Questions are answered instantly and misunderstandings are addressed before they become obstacles.
-
Flexible scheduling – Sessions can be arranged to suit your family routine, not a fixed classroom timetable. You choose when and how often lessons take place.
-
Curriculum alignment – Our tutors are experienced UK teachers who know the national curriculum and exam board requirements, ensuring every private tuition session directly supports school success.
-
Clear accountability and feedback – Written reports after every lesson show exactly how your child is improving and what to tackle next, making progress easy to track.
These benefits make private tuition one of the most powerful ways to build confidence, develop independent learning skills and achieve stronger academic results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is private tuition really effective?
Yes. Because every session is one-to-one and tailored, students often make faster progress than they would in a typical classroom or group setting.

No. Lessons are delivered through a browser-based virtual classroom—no complicated downloads required. You can also access recorded sessions for revision.
What if we don’t connect with the first tutor?
We want you to be completely happy. If the tutor isn’t the right fit, we’ll promptly match you with someone else.
How soon can we start?
Once you share your requirements, we can usually begin private tuition within 24 hours.
