Teatime Tutoring provides personalised online tuition for children who need extra support, want to build confidence or simply enjoy learning beyond the classroom.
Online lessons are particularly useful for families who need flexibility, are relocating, travel frequently or live outside the local area. We have worked with children in the UK and internationally, including families in Thailand, China, the UAE and Singapore, adapting each lesson to their individual needs, interests and goals.
Making Online Learning Engaging
Online tuition doesn’t have to feel like a child is simply sitting in front of a screen. Lessons are interactive and varied, using online resources, interactive whiteboards, games, presentations and short videos alongside discussion, questioning and written work. Sessions are tailored to the child’s age, ability and learning style, helping them stay involved and make genuine progress.
What happens in an online lesson?
Your child will need a computer or tablet, a reliable internet connection, a pen or pencil and some paper. Headphones can also be helpful, particularly when there are other distractions around them.
Before each lesson, we send a secure link and clear instructions so that everything is ready to go. We ask students to join a few minutes early so there is time to get settled before the lesson begins.
At the end of a lesson, feedback can be provided to parents or carers and, where appropriate, homework or activities can be set for the week ahead.
A flexible option for families
Online tutoring can be particularly helpful when face-to-face tuition isn’t practical. Whether your child is at home, travelling, temporarily away from school or living overseas, we can provide consistent, personalised support.
We’ve worked with families across the UK and internationally, including children studying in different education systems and time zones.
What parents say
‘My daughter started with Teatime Tutoring after the first few lockdowns to help her feel confident about being back in school. Kirsty was a delight. My daughter was 7yrs old and she absolutely loved her lessons with Kirsty. As a parent, Kirsty listened to my concerns for my daughter and established a programme of work that I felt happy about. At the end of each lesson, she also made sure she gave me an overview of what was covered and any work to complete during the week. I would absolutely recommend Kirsty to any parents looking for a tutor for your child. You won’t regret it.’ (Parent of an online student)
‘You have created such a lovely and positive learning atmosphere even online, thank you for that!’ (Parent of International School student)
‘We had faced difficulties during lockdown with his motivation and willingness to read. Working with Kirsty, initially via zoom and then face to face, his confidence and proficiency has grown and he continues to make great progress. He enjoys attending his tutoring sessions and is keen to tell us what he’s covered. Kirsty does a great job of making the sessions fun and adapts them based on his interests and provides us with regular updates on how he’s progressing. We would highly recommend Teatime Tutoring.’ (Parent of a Year 2 Child)
