Review for Daria

We are extremely grateful for the support and dedication of Daria who has worked with my son for almost 1.5yrs now. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always patient, especially when working with kids who dont have a habit of sitting for a class at a stretch. Over time, we saw a drastic improvement in my son’s focus and engagement.
The tutor also did a wonderful job helping him catch up with a lagging curriculum and strengthening his basic concepts, building both confidence and understanding. Most importantly, my son now looks forward to each session without any hesitation, which speaks volumes about the Daris's positive approach and encouragement. We highly recommend her to any parent looking for a supportive and effective tutor.

Disappointed with this tuition centre

Disappointed with this tuition centre. Teachers keep changing, which seriously affects learning continuity. On top of that, the admin refuses to refund unused sessions even when the cancellations are due to the centre’s own issues. Very unprofessional handling from management. Would not recommend.

Great preparatory tutors for 11+

Explore has been good for my son in Y4. We are trying to get a head start in 11+ prep and having a 1-1 tutor has just been great for him. His tutor is patient in explaining new concepts and my son is now able to pick up the concepts of Verbal and Non-verbal reasoning whilst also strengthening his Maths and English. Would highly recommend explore for early prep for 11+. The only negative which is not a major is sometimes the sessions get cancelled at short notice but you always get another day proposed for a catch up.

Hi Nikky! Thank you for your feedback! We’re so pleased to hear that our 1:1 tutoring has helped your son build confidence in 11+ prep, Maths, and English. We appreciate your understanding regarding session changes and are glad our team can offer catch-up sessions to keep progress on track.

Home Education

We have been using Explore Learning since February 2023 and are incredibly grateful for the support, understanding, and kindness they have shown our family throughout our home education journey.

Both of our children are autistic, with additional needs, and were significantly behind in English and maths when we started. The team’s assessments and personalised approach made a huge difference, helping them not only catch up but grow in confidence and self-belief as learners.

The patience and care shown by Matt, Katie, Robin, and the wider team went far beyond academics. Our children were treated as individuals, their strengths recognised, and their wellbeing genuinely mattered.

Both children went on to pass private school entrance exams, a true testament to the progress they made with Explore Learning’s support. We regularly recommend Explore Learning within the home education community, and will continue to do so.

I’m also pleased that BCP Council will be adding Explore Learning to their home education resources list, families navigating home education truly benefit from supportive and structured providers like this.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for our children and our family. Your support genuinely changed the course of their education.

Excellent support and confidence boost for my children.

We have had a very positive experience with Explore Learning. My children genuinely enjoy attending the sessions, which says a lot. The tutors are patient, encouraging and very well prepared, and they know how to adapt the learning to each child’s level and pace.
What really stands out is the personalised approach. The programme identifies gaps in knowledge and builds confidence step by step, without pressure. I have noticed clear progress not only in my children’s academic skills, but also in their confidence and attitude towards learning.
Communication with parents is excellent — we are kept informed about progress, targets and achievements, which makes us feel involved and reassured. The environment is friendly, structured and motivating, and the children feel supported and valued.
Overall, Explore Learning is doing an excellent job in helping children grow academically and emotionally. I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for high-quality, tailored tuition and a positive learning experience.
