Why Rowan & Reed

Why One-to-One Beats a Crowded Classroom

A class of thirty moves at one pace. One pupil with one tutor can stop, go back a year and try the explanation in a different way.

Book a first lesson

One pupil, one tutor

Every lesson is built for a single pupil, so the tutor can slow down, speed up or change the explanation instead of keeping to a class timetable.

DBS-checked tutors

All tutors hold DBS clearance and teach the subject they are qualified in, whether the lesson happens online or at your kitchen table.

Online or at home

Choose the format that fits the week. A Tuesday evening session does not need a drive across town.

Progress reports for parents

Written progress reports for parents set out what has been covered, what has improved and which topics still need work.

Matched to the pupil

We ask about the year group, the subject and the exam board before matching, so the first lesson is not a getting-to-know-you exercise.

Board-specific practice

Tutors work from the specification your child sits, so revision time goes on the topics and question types that carry marks.

Meet the tutors

The Tutors Behind Rowan & Reed
