A Band 1 — the highest grade in Higher English
“Alice taught her the complete higher English course as my daughter was homeschooling. She individualised the course to suit her learning style and to help with her dyslexia. As a result my daughter received an A Band One.”
WHY CHOOSE US
The tutors we represent are of the highest calibre. Each one is a fully qualified teacher with experience at some of the UK’s leading schools, or a professional tutor with a degree from a Russell Group university. They have an in-depth understanding of exam boards and curricula across England and Scotland, and are true subject specialists with extensive expertise.
Uniquely, Aquinas specialises in both the English and Scottish systems. We are able to offer support with:
One of Aquinas’ top priorities is to ensure our tuition services are tailored to meet the needs of your child. In your free consultation call we will discuss your child’s specific learning requirements, objectives and goals, including any SEN. This information will be shared with your child’s tutor and will form the basis of your child’s Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) which will be developed by the tutor and shared with you to review following an introductory lesson. Whilst the PLP is used by our tutors as the foundation for each lesson, we understand that requirements may change, and we can of course be flexible and will adapt the PLP as per your request.
All 1-2-1 tuition sessions include teaching of core content from the PLP, development of subject-specific skills, and an end-of-lesson review. The review ensures your child feels confident and helps set priorities for the next session. Each pupil has a Google Classroom where lesson materials, resources, reports, and their PLP are always available.
After your child’s second session, we’ll check in to ensure they’re enjoying their lessons and discuss any updates to the PLP. Aquinas provides Monthly Progress Reports written by your child’s tutor. These offer an overview of progress, next-step suggestions, and celebrate your child’s achievements so far.
We offer flexible online sessions that fit around your schedule. In-person tutoring may also be available depending on your location and tutor availability.
HOW IT WORKS
We make getting started simple, with a process designed to give every child the support and structure they need to succeed.
Step 1
We’ll discuss your child’s goals, needs, and tutor preferences, then share tutor profiles and help you book an introductory lesson.
Step 2
The tutor gets to know your child, reviews goals and carries out a short diagnostic assessment before creating a Personalised Learning Plan (PLP).
Step 3
The PLP is written by your tutor and is tailored to your child’s specific learning needs. It includes their scheme of work, learning objectives for each session, and any resources required. All materials and reports will be stored alongside their PLP in Google Classroom.
Step 4
Each lesson follows the PLP, builds key skills, and ends with a short review to track progress.
Step 5
We check in after the second session and provide Monthly Progress Reports with updates, next steps, and ongoing guidance.
The idea for Aquinas developed as a result of Alice’s growing awareness of the power of personalised learning. With tailored support, pupils thrive, often exceeding their own expectations, and this philosophy is central to Aquinas today. It is our mission to provide pupils with a bespoke learning experience that gives them the confidence to succeed.
Professionalism and dedication are at the heart of Aquinas’ educational philosophy. It is our mission to provide our pupils with a bespoke learning experience which allows them to thrive.
While academic progress and examination success is central to our work, we believe that genuine understanding is the foundation of lasting success. By developing robust knowledge of their subjects, pupils learn to interrogate both ideas and concepts critically, establish connections between subjects, and approach unfamiliar challenges with confidence.
We believe these benefits extend beyond academic achievement, and it is our conviction that knowledge has an intrinsic value beyond the classroom. Thus, alongside helping pupils achieve their academic ambitions, we aim to nurture curiosity, independent thinking and a genuine appreciation of learning.
This philosophy underpins our careful selection of tutors. We are committed to building a small team of highly capable teachers and subject specialists who combine deep subject knowledge with a genuine passion for their disciplines.
In a nutshell, our aim is to provide personalised tuition that not only helps pupils achieve their academic goals, but to develop the understanding and intellectual independence that will serve them well beyond their examinations.
Sol was my maths tutor throughout the IB, and he was absolutely brilliant. He explains complicated concepts simply, gives you ample practice, and adapts the sessions to your learning style. In my experience, Sol was nothing but helpful, friendly, and dedicated to helping me achieve my goals. I fully recommend him to anyone who needs help with their maths.
Solomon is an absolutely brilliant tutor and overall wonderful human being. After two years of being tutored by him, I have never been more prepared to do my IB Maths exam this May. Although this year has been absolutely awful in terms of exams for maths (May 2025), I have been awarded a very strong 7 in maths — something I struggled with for a while, since I was always on the verge of a 6 and a 7. We have covered the entire syllabus months in advance, giving me so much more time and opportunity for revision. Sol has also been super helpful with checking over my maths, allowing me to finish the coursework much earlier and giving me more time to make any changes. I’m so grateful for all of his help and I will always remember our lessons. Thank you, Sol.
Our tutor supported my son before his English exam, and I only wish we had found Aquinas sooner. The improvement in both confidence and results was remarkable.
In exams my daughter was struggling with confidence more than anything. Physics felt overwhelming to her. Sam was very patient and calm, and didn’t make her feel silly for asking questions. She ended up doing better than she expected in her Physics exams.
With Aquinas, we knew our son was in expert hands. Having a tutor with classroom experience at a top independent school made all the difference.
My daughter now feels confident in English lessons again. She told me she finally understands what her teacher is explaining in class — that’s real progress.
Alice was the most lovely tutor to my daughter for higher English. Alice taught her the complete higher English course as my daughter was homeschooling. She individualised the course to suit her learning style and to help with her dyslexia. As a result my daughter received an A Band One.
My son and I were both really pleased with the tuition he got from Jonny. As well as giving my son advice on how to answer questions he gave my son confidence that he was on the right track and my son found that very reassuring. My son said the exam went well and he felt that the tuition made a big difference. I would definitely recommend using Aquinas Tuition.
Thank you for being such a dedicated and inspiring English teacher. Your lessons are always clear, well-structured, and engaging, which makes learning much easier and more enjoyable. My daughter really appreciate your patience in explaining difficult concepts and your constant encouragement, which has helped her build confidence in higher exam. Your passion for teaching truly makes a difference. I’m very grateful for your guidance.
