Subjects we cover
English
Confident readers, expressive writers
We nurture a genuine love of language — from early phonics and reading comprehension through to essay writing, grammar, and creative expression. Sessions are tailored to the National Curriculum and beyond.
Mathematics
Building number confidence from the ground up
From counting and place value to fractions, algebra, and problem-solving, we meet each child where they are and build genuine understanding — not just exam technique.
11+ Preparation
Targeted preparation for selective school entry
Our structured 11+ programme covers Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English, and Mathematics — tailored to the specific requirements of your target schools in Gloucestershire and beyond.
Reading & Phonics
From first sounds to fluent, joyful reading
Using proven systematic phonics methods alongside a rich diet of books, we help children crack the code of reading and discover the pleasure of stories — at every stage of their journey.
Creative Writing
Finding every child's unique voice
We inspire children to write with imagination, structure, and flair. Whether they need help with basic sentence construction or want to craft vivid stories, our sessions unlock creative potential.
SATs Preparation
Calm, confident, well-prepared
We help Year 6 pupils approach their SATs with confidence — revisiting key concepts, practising past papers, and building the resilience to perform at their best on the day.
How we work
My approach to learning
Every session at Cotswold Private Tutoring begins with the child, not the curriculum. I assess where each pupil is, understand how they learn best, and build a programme that challenges and supports them in equal measure. Progress is tracked carefully, and parents receive regular updates so the whole family can celebrate every step forward.
Personalised
No two children are the same. Every lesson plan is written specifically for your child.
Structured
Clear goals, regular assessment, and a logical progression through the curriculum.
Encouraging
We build confidence alongside knowledge — celebrating effort as much as achievement.
Flexible
Sessions adapt as your child grows — we move at their pace, not a fixed timetable.
