The easiest booking process around
Here’s how it works:
You book.
Book online in under 3 minutes or schedule a call with one of our education specialists.
We match.
We work with our team to match the perfect tutor to your child’s needs.
The magic happens.
We schedule in the first lesson and send you all the details you’ll need by SMS and email.
In the first lesson, your tutor will do an assessment on your child to see how they are doing against the standards of the national curriculum, and build a learning plan to work towards moving forwards. They will send you a copy of the assessment outcomes by email and share some goals that they will be working towards with your child.
We encourage weekly lessons for the best results – but ultimately the length, timing and frequency is up to you.
You are free to communicate openly and directly with your tutor about scheduling and timings. All payments will be through Spark Tutoring – details will be provided after the first lesson and only if you are happy to continue.
After every lesson you will receive feedback from your tutor by email, outlining what was covered and how your child responded in the lesson. Every 10 lessons your tutor will provide a detailed progress report, keeping you in the loop at all times!

Having excellent academic credentials is the first part of being a good tutor. The difference between a good and a great tutor is communication. Great tutors are effective communicators. They can help students understand complex concepts using simple terms.
Communication between the tutors and the parents is vital. The tutors should communicate on time and clearly with the parents providing feedback after every lesson.

The perfect Tutors in Birmingham for your children of all ages
Primary school is one of the best times to hire a tutor. At this level, students learn the basics and set a foundation for everything they will learn at more advanced levels. Getting your child off to a great start can make it easier for them to understand the more complex concepts they will learn later on.
Our tutors in Birmingham are trained to work with young students. They have bubbly and infectious personalities. They are engaging and fantastic at what they do. The child will love working with them and always look forward to every lesson.
Our tutors will help the student with various core subjects, including writing, reading and maths. The tutor can also assist the student complete any homework or tasks they have been assigned in school.
Some students get through primary school without any trouble. But in secondary, it’s a different game. Almost every student needs some help to reach their full potential.
Our tutors in Birmingham will provide the student with all the support they need to navigate through secondary school years and succeed. We offer support in core secondary school subjects which include English and Maths. We will also ensure the student is on top of any assigned schoolwork or homework.
At secondary school, students start forming their identities. It’s a challenging time for both the student and the parents. Because our tutors form a bond with the student, they also act as role models and can help the student make the right decisions that will help them grow their self-confidence and achieve their life goals.
Tests and exams are a core part of the British education system. Students have to excel in the exams to get into good colleges and universities.
Our tutors specialise in all UK tests forms, including SATs, GCSE, IB tests and A-levels. Our test preparation services are available for private school, selective school and independent public school entry.
The preparation techniques are tried and tested. We will help the student discover the best studying techniques and how to calm down and approach questions to maximise their time and points during the exams.

Frequently Asked Questions:
When is a good time to start tutoring?
We have students of all ages working with our tutors; from early Primary school to A-levels. The best time to start working with a Spark Tutor is today – so book your first lesson in under 3 minutes here.
Does my child really need a tutor?
Our tutors have been selected for their ability to motivate and inspire the young people they work with. Your child will grow in confidence, do better at school and gain a life-long love of learning.
A Spark Tutor offers more than just help for those struggling at school – they are mentors that will help your child realise their potential.
Does your tutoring follow a set program? What is the lesson structure?
Your tutor will have full access to our resource centre – which is packed with thousands of worksheets, textbooks and learning programs. They will use these as they see the need arise in your child.
What ages do you support?
How do I get started?
Are your tutors qualified?
We do not require our tutors to be degree qualified to work with us, and in most cases are younger, University age tutors that excelled in school themselves. We actually find students respond best to this age group of tutors; they can build real authentic relationships and the school curriculum is fresh in the tutor’s mind, creating a mentor-mentee relationship rather than one of authority from a teacher.
How do I track my child’s progress?
Every ten lessons your tutor will also provide you with a detailed progress report, providing an insight into their development, where they are still struggling and what they are working towards over the next ten lessons. This progress report can also be shared with their classroom teacher or any other family members.
Do you offer any discounts?
How do we find the right tutor?
Obviously, the best test of any tutor is meeting them face to face, which is why your first lesson is covered by our 100% happiness guarantee – so if you don’t think the tutor we have selected for you is the right one for your child, there is no charge and we will work with you closely to find a tutor better suited to them.
Where does the tutoring take place?
How do I pay?
We’ll send you a notification shortly after each lesson with the scheduled charge and a receipt 24 hours later after the payment has been processed.
There are no contracts, prepayments or minimum commitments in partnering with us.
Do I have to have lessons every week?
However, this is not a requirement in partnering with us. If you need to miss a lesson every now and then, no problem – just let your tutor know at least 24 hours before a scheduled lesson and there will be no charge.
How long do the lessons go for?
When can I start?
We will keep you updated on any potential delays, and of course let you know by SMS and email once we have scheduled the first lesson.
How much does it cost?
Do you offer a free trial or lesson?
This allows you to meet your tutor completely risk-free, but it also means that your tutor gets rewarded for their hard work when they do a great job. It is win-win for all!
