Background

We are both parents, ex-classroom teachers and Oxford University graduates. We have high standards, not only for ourselves but for all students in our care. 

We appreciate the job classroom teachers are doing, often under very demanding circumstances. Despite their passion, schools can struggle to cater fully to the needs of every student. Many students will benefit from the additional help and consolidation which our professional tuition provides. 

As parents we know that if life is comfortable for your child: that they are not struggling at school and happy to strive towards achieving the best grades possible, then you have achieved a major win in your parenting quest. We know that parents willingly sacrifice their time and work harder to ensure their children succeed. When children are finding school tough, life can become tough for the whole family. 

Gaining good qualifications and standing out academically is essential in our now very competitive job market.

Aspire Tuition was founded by ourselves 13 years ago. Running Aspire as an independent business and not as a franchise, we were free to select resources from the best publishers and companies on the market. 

Over time, as Aspire Tuition, we have taught over 1000 students across approximately 32,000 tuition sessions! That’s a huge amount of experience meaning that we have seen and understood enough learning differences, tricks, difficulties, strengths and excuses to fill a series of books. That also equates to many happy customers and ultimately many students across Swindon and North Wiltshire, being more confident in their learning and realising their true potential.

Jasleen KS4

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the past 6 years. Not just for boosting me academically but also for the motivation you gave me when I was overstressing. You made me realise that no matter what is on the paper on results day, I should feel very proud of how hard I worked and tried. Thank you so much, Jasleen.

Ethan SpLD

We were so pleased to find Andrea, through a friend’s recommendation. We were despairing about what to do with our son. The school said that there was nothing wrong with him but we knew that he was finding the work really difficult. Each day he would come out of school and have melt downs at home. He always took out his frustrations from school on us and his younger sister. Although we booked Ethan in for help with his reading and spelling, we received so much more. Andrea very soon recognised that he likely had dyslexia, which was a huge relief to us as we had suspected this for years. She talked to us about different methods to help him with his school spellings etc so that we no longer had the weekly battle and then upset, related to the class test. Andrea enabled us all to recognise the strengths of Ethan, rather than just focussing on his difficulties. She also carried out some assessments that showed that his memory was very poor. We were able to show her report to the school and they did begin to support him with the recommendations Andrea gave. 

We highly recommend Aspire Tuition due to the professional service but particularly because Andrea always went the extra mile for our son.

Oliver KS2

After a few weeks of you being shut at the start of lockdown, Ollie started to ask if he would ever come to Aspire again. He was so pleased to see you over Zoom. Although he hates writing at school, he is more than happy to work for you and it is great to hear him laughing and coming out with ideas when working online with you. Thank you for being one of the few people to get the best out of him.
