Tutor Doctor

Tutor Doctor Newcastle Upon Tyne provides academic tuition as an Alternative Provision for school age students to both County Councils and Schools.

About us

The tuition is delivered on a 1-2-1 basis either within a school, family hub, students’ home or online. While most tuition is focused on English and Maths the 1-2-1 nature of tuition allows sessions to cater for a student’s needs and may include a degree of mentoring to help a student reengage with education and maximise the chance of reintegration into school life where this is the aim.

Impact, Outcomes and Key Performance Indicators

After every session the tutor produces a brief session report which not only keeps Tutor Doctor informed with progress, but these reports can be forwarded to schools, Councils parents and anyone connected with the student’s progress. Tutor Doctor also utilise BKSB as an assessment tool to understand current academic abilities and to chart progress a student is making. This information can be important for schools to successfully manage reintegrations.

How to access

Tuition is provided either in person in a school, family hub or a student’s home as well as online. This is usually discussed on referral.

How we deliver

We generally deliver sessions of 2 hours in length. Where English and Maths are required, this would usually be at least 2x 2 hour sessions a week. Generally, we have flexibility and try to accommodate other AP provisions that may be in place or being considered. The delivery of our tuition is not prescriptive. We aim to accommodate all requirements. 

How we report attendance 

Session reports are used to report on attendance. However, we can usually accommodate bespoke reporting requirements.
