Bedford Tutor’s Reviews
Choosing the right tutor is an important decision and, understandably, many parents want reassurance before taking that first step.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting children and young people with a wide range of learning needs, abilities and educational backgrounds. From helping home-educated learners develop confidence in English and maths to supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism and other additional needs, every learner’s journey has been unique.
Nothing makes us happier than seeing a child begin to believe in themselves, discover their strengths and achieve goals they once thought were beyond their reach.
Below, you can read feedback from families across Bedfordshire, the UK and around the world who have experienced the personalised approach to learning offered by Bedford Tutor and our online division, Kite Tutoring. Their words reflect the confidence, progress and enjoyment that can grow when tuition is thoughtfully tailored to each individual child.
Thank you to all the families who have taken the time to share their experiences.

I honestly can’t praise Annabel enough!My husband and I wanted to find a tutor over summer to help our daughter with her reading and spelling. When I think of a... read more tutor I always think a classroom set up pen and paper very formal setting….so we have always thought about it and never done it.Whilst looking into it a bit more I came across Annabel and she stood out… I read more into her style and found out they were very fun interactive sessions.So I contacted Annabel to find out more. We had a lovely call together where she explained her style and how she structured her sessions all depending on my daughters needs. She spent ages getting to know my daughter and how she would feel comfortable and what she enjoyed etc. I couldn’t have found a nicer caring person to introduce us to a tutor support.We are a few weeks in and my daughter absolutely loves Annabel and loves her sessions. She does not see it as learning she see’s it as fun and games. And that’s all I can ask for. The number of times she tells me she’s learnt something new and is so excited to tell us. She comes off every time saying that was so much fun! And loves her time with her.Honestly can’t recommend Annabel enough! She is the best! Thank you so much you have no idea how pleased I am 🙂

We were recommended Bedford Tutor when looking for our 12 year old daughter to have some extra help with maths over the holidays, as she felt like she was falling... read more behind a bit at school. We booked some online sessions and Annabel has been a fantastic tutor! From our initial chat, and through all the sessions, she has been very positive and enthusiastic, and explains things in a very clear way, which has helped my daughter immensely. Having that 1:1 time to focus, say if she doesn't quite understand, and then make sure she has got it before moving on, has been so invaluable; she is now much more confident. As well as planning the sessions for my daughter's needs and progress - and intuitively adapting where necessary - , Annabel also makes maths fun! Highly recommended.

Amazing teachers both - Annabel and her mother - for my 8 year old son Reon. We have had few sessions with Annabel (and her mother) and Reon speaks highly... read more of them and looks forward to lessons! 😍Annabel is super kind and her love for what she is doing for small kids - helping them love learning and make progress in a way that is fun and kind is inspiring. They use themes that are meaningful to Reon for example they started with star wars and now use football as he is talking about that to her excitedly.We have booked on her summer lessons as well for the next academic year as she has successfully bringing out Reons best even with few sessions... As an example, he seemed to never try writing in joined up letters and he did with Annabel on his 3rd or 4th lesson in a writing neater than his usual! We and especially Reon felt pleasantly surprised!Highly recommended 😍❤️

My Year 5 child has been attending tutoring now for three months. He really enjoyed his first session and this has been the case ever since.The quality and interactive nature... read more of the sessions does not change whether the session is online or in person and he enjoys both types of sessions equally. The tutor is amazing at ensuring that any activities also relate to his broader interests e.g science, Star Wars, Harry Potter etc.Our main reason for the tutoring was to improve his confidence and self esteem when it comes to school work, to encourage him to stop comparing himself to others and to ensure that he gets used to asking for help when needed.We are so pleased with how well it is supporting him and improving his self esteem when it comes to learning. He has mentioned himself that it is really helping his confidence and he is happier to ask for help at school now. He also talks to me about his school work a lot more now and demonstrates things he has done at school that day.He has his grade 1 piano exam next week and a week of progress tests at school too which would usually have had him in a panic and dreading any test like situation but we have had zero worries or issues about it so far.The impact of tutoring has been so much broader than helping him with creative writing, sentence structure and vocabulary (though this has been fantastic too) and I have a much happier more confident child.
