"I founded Hannah's Tutoring because I believe confidence is central to learning, and that support is strongest when it comes from tutors who have experienced the academic journey themselves, including many who were educated in all-girls schools and understand the challenges girls can face."

Why we specialise in girls.

Somewhere in secondary school, a lot of bright girls start to go quiet. Not because they can't do it, but because they've decided they're "not a maths person", or they'd rather say nothing than get it wrong in front of the class. Hannah's Tutoring was built to change that.

1

Confidence comes first

We rebuild her belief before we chase grades. Once she stops being afraid of getting it wrong, the grades follow.

2

Someone she can see herself in

Tutors a few years ahead of her, many of them educated in all-girls schools themselves. Less like a teacher, more like an older sister.

3

No audience

Sessions are 1:1 and online from home, so she can ask the question she'd never ask in class, go over it again, and actually get it.

4

Built by a girls' school girl

Hannah spent her whole school life at girls' schools. She knows where the pressure comes from, and what helps.

Not another teacher. An older sister.

All our tutors are current students or recent graduates at Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. They remember exactly what she's going through, and they know today's specifications inside out.

Relatable

Tutors who remember the challenges of school first-hand make learning more engaging and far less intimidating.

Up to date

They know today's curricula, exam technique and the study strategies that actually work, because they used them recently.

Beyond grades

Guidance on study skills, exam confidence and even university preparation, from someone a few steps ahead of her.

Liz, mum of Sophia: from a Grade 2 to a high Grade 5 in her GCSEs
Genevieve, IB Economics: from a Grade 3 to a Grade 6
"Hannah has really connected with Sophia and had a significant positive impact on both her confidence and grades. Sophia would actively avoid science and maths but now enjoys studying them."

IB Economics

From a Grade 3 to a Grade 6

IB Economics is demanding, and a big jump can feel unrealistic once you've fallen behind. With structured, consistent support, Genevieve rebuilt her understanding of the subject and her exam technique.

Every girl deserves to love learning.

The right support doesn't just lift a grade. It changes how she feels about a subject, and about herself. Everything we do comes back to three values.

Questions parents ask us.

Who are your tutors?

Current students and recent graduates at Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. Every tutor teaches a subject they study at university, and many were educated in all-girls schools themselves.

Why do you specialise in girls?

Lots of capable girls lose confidence in a subject long before they lose ability. Our approach puts confidence first, with tutors a few years ahead of her who know exactly what she's going through.

Do you tutor boys too?

Yes. Our approach was built around girls, but every student gets the same 1:1 support from a tutor who knows their subject inside out.

Is the tutoring online?

Yes. Every session is 1:1 and online, so she can learn from home with a tutor who could be anywhere in the country.

Which subjects and levels do you cover?

11+ and 13+, KS3, GCSE, A-Level and IB across a wide range of subjects, because our team all study what they teach. We also offer Oxbridge mentoring for Oxford and Cambridge applications.

Which exam boards do you tutor?

Including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, Cambridge IGCSE and the IB. Hannah's Tutoring is not affiliated with or endorsed by any exam board.

How do we get started?

Book a short phone call with Hannah or send us a message. We'll talk about where she is now and what's getting in the way, then recommend the right tutor and plan for her.
