We have met with Expert Tuition’s staff. In addition, 36 clients and 26 tutors have completed an on-line survey (sent to 161 clients and 51 tutors) and we have followed this up with additional short phone interviews with some of those surveyed.
Founder and director Ahmed Alaskary (30s) was a whippersnapper of just 15 when he started tutoring – all the more impressive when you consider that he went to one of the worst performing state schools in the country. ‘Let’s be realistic,’ came the response when Ahmed suggested his GCSE media studies class should be aiming for A*s, rather than the As and Bs that the teacher was suggesting. Determined to prove his teacher wrong, not just for himself but his classmates, Ahmed swotted up and tutored them at lunchtimes in the library. By the end of year 10, he was teaching up to 30 students in maths, chemistry, biology, English, history and media studies both at lunchtimes and after school. Lo and behold, results shot up, Ahmed secured a place at a top sixth form (Tiffin) and the first seed of Expert Tuition – which he officially founded in 2012 - was sown.

Review snapshot: An innovator and authority in the industry. And a disruptor too – having re-invented the usual model of how tutors are employed to ultimately give the client a better experience.
Review snapshot: Home schooling is their bread and butter, accounting for well over half their clients. A handful are in school some of the week (so-called flexi-schoolers) but most learn entirely from home, with Golden Circle creating a bespoke daytime curriculum delivered by a team of teacher-trained tutors. Majority are…
Review snapshot: A set-up so superb and so clearly desperately needed that you can’t help wondering why there’s nothing else like it around. And believe us, there isn’t. If anyone knows their onions regarding SEN, it’s Joanna, who also cares deeply about the tutors and families she works with. As for conditions… Areas covered: Across London, Surrey, Kent, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, West Sussex and Berkshire, as well as other parts of the UK upon request, internationally and online. read more
The 11+ is the entrance exam procedure for getting your brightish little button into a fee-paying or state grammar school. Much of the country abolished the 11+ several decades ago for state schools, but a few local authorities, such as Bucks and Kent, retained a large number of grammar schools and run county-wide entrance tests. In some other areas, such as Barnet and Kingston, a few grammar schools exist in tandem with the comprehensive system found in most of the country. These grammar schools set their own entrance exams.
