Who Are Next Steps Tutors?
Next Steps Tutors is a small, local tuition agency founded by two local teachers, Liz and Sarah.
We’re both passionate about learning. Both ready to make online tuition fun and engaging.
When we set up Next Steps Tutors, we had a vision of how education should be: friendly, appropriately paced and there to deliver confidence AND results. We want to give your child a voice where they can tell us their learning needs. We want your child to question us and to feel challenged. We want your child to grow in confidence and reach their goals.
And when your child outgrows us and they hop, skip and jump on their own? Well, they’ll have the next steps in lifelong learning and you’ll have a child who thrives.
We're committed to keeping your child safe
Liz, Sarah and all our tutors have:
A DBS check. Safeguarding training. Tutors’ Association Membership. SEND training. Mental Health & Wellbeing training. Online Safety training.

Why are parents choosing tuition?
Nationwide, parents are increasingly opting for tuition. Why?
Well, for a start we’ll all recognise the frequent interruption, changes and last minute work-arounds due to Covid. Missed school days, a change in teacher, doubling up classes in the hall, anxiety about changes – they all take their toll on our children’s learning.
Then there’s class sizes: in the average class of 32, your child will be lucky to get 2 minutes of real contact time in each lesson.
Add in the pressure from testing, keeping up with their peers, a squeezed curriculum and we reach a place where our children are sapped of confidence. In fact, the 2022 Good Childhood Report by The Children’s Society found that 1 in 7 children are unhappy with their school work and their abilities. That’s 3 or 4 children in every class!
At Next Steps we want to do our little part in remedying this. When you choose tuition with us you also choose:
- the contact time your child needs
- a tutor who will build a relationship and give back a sense of worth to your child
- a tutor to answer your child’s questions
- a tutor trained in developing critical thinking
- smart, directed praise to boost your child’s confidence
- new thinking and a rekindled enthusiasm for independent learning
