 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Elite Tutors Sussex to be exceptional for me and have no problems recommending them, in fact, I thoroughly recommend them. They were detailed in understanding my child's needs and after a while placed me with an excellent tutor who was professional, kind and very qualified. I also loved their detailed vetting process of tutors. If you're apprehensive in finding a quality vetted tutor then look no further. Thank you Elite Tutors Sussex!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elite Tutors Sussex has been an absolute godsend. Long story short, we were struggling to find a secondary school place for my daughter, and a teacher friend said I should speak to Karen as "she will know what to do." Karen very kindly gave me time to chat about our school predicament, and I felt that she really understood where we were coming from and what we were looking for. She offered various options, explaining how everything worked, and made some solid, sustainable suggestions as to what she thought might suit us best. Indeed, we ended up with resources I didn't even know existed and now, thanks to Karen, we have a plan for my daughter's education which is exactly what we were looking for. Elite Tutors Sussex really puts the individual needs of the children and families first, and Karen is an absolute angel. Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Elite tutors Re: Liz to get over any anxiety and give him more confidence regarding his SATS. After just three sessions he was "playing" maths sums and not worried at all. I will use them again once he starts high school, especially Liz who was wonderful, fun and made him feel so much more confident with her approach to teaching.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elite Tutors connected my son with an amazing tutor for his GCSEs. She has knowledge in many subjects and is excellent at supporting him with strategies and approaches, to learning, revision and exams. My son has dyslexia and Yemi supported him to navigate his revision and exams with calmness and confidence. Yemi's tutoring had an amazing impact. She unlocked his potential, his self belief and his confidence.  He now believes in himself, he has connected to his abilities and intelligence, something that had been hidden for him, due to his dyslexia. With Yemi's support he has done his GCSEs with calm, focus and engagement. Last exam today and all is calm! Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the most incredibly supportive and responsive experience starting to tutor with Elite Tutors. The interview process and checks were incredibly professional, as they should be, but that has not been at the expense of a very personal service in terms of assigning me the pupils best suited to my skills and experience, and supporting me through my first steps with the agency. This has included providing extra training opportunities to fill gaps in my experience, supportive conversations with director Karen Ormerod around pupil background and my first sessions, prompt responses to any email enquiries, and guidance on resources. Karen really cares about both her pupils and her tutors, and is incredibly dedicated to her job. I chose to apply to the agency because the job advert expressed this ethos, but I am very happy to have found it to be equally true in practice. I would highly recommend tutoring for this agency, whether you have a teacher background or not (I don’t), as there is a place and rate according to experience, but even the graduate rate is extremely fair.

She has struggled with science but Marc has made it so enjoyable and easier to understand that she is now thriving. Put her nerves aside immediately. Top notch for tutors and partnering learning skills and needs with your child. Definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son (15) wasn't originally keen on the idea of getting a maths tutor but as he wants to take it at A-Level and is taking Further Maths GCSE I was interested to see if a tutor might be worthwhile. He now admits that he finds his tutor, arranged by Elite Sussex Tutors, extremely helpful. She has reinforced certain areas that he might have found tricky and improved his confidence. He is  on course to getting a high grade in his exams. He has his lesson via zoom each week.

Despite the short time period, Harriet, the tutor, really helped our daughter. She made really good progress in just a few weeks and was successful in securing places at our schools of choice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Elite Tutors for a year to help our year 4 child get back on track after he'd disengaged with remote learning. Our Tutor Harriet was lovely, experienced and excellent at working out what was needed. Its helped no end, and definitely been worth it - Elite found Harriet straight away, so we didn't lose any time getting started. I'd highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Elite Tutors has been faultless.  We made a last minute application to a school that required my daughter to sit the ISEB Pretest at very short notice.  We contacted Helen, she assessed our needs and restrictive circumstances and managed to match us the most wonderful, highly experienced tutor who was perfect for my daughter in every way.  We had a short, intense period of lessons combined with face to face and online learning.  My daughter has just been invited for an interview at the selective school based on her sound ISEB Pretest results!   We are over the moon.   I highly recommend Helen and her team! Note billing and lesson tracking were seamless.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karen has been very responsive and professional with her support and guidance. Very soon after we spoke about my needs she came back with a recommendation on a tutor. Olivia and my son struck a rapport immediately, much to my relief as we had had a false start elsewhere. Olivia pitched her tutoring to my expectations. Indeed, we collaborated on our objectives in a very agile fashion. Karen ensured we were on target. I would have no hesitation in recommending Elite!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used ETS for two years as part of a home education programme for our daughter, and in that time, we have been lucky enough to have two excellent tutors. More recently my daughter has been doing GCSE English with Rebecca, who is a great teacher with extensive knowledge and experience of GCSE. She makes the lessons engaging and fun, whilst also responding to my daughter's strengths and weaknesses. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quite astounding how my daughter went from an Ed Psych report suggesting it might be better not to take GCSE maths to a confident able student, leaving exams felling positive and jumping grades over a few terms. Dawn was patient, professional and encouraging, seeing where the problem lay, injecting confidence and demonstrating the potential and ability that lay beneath. Faultless. Can't recommend highly enough. Not just a grounding in maths but in life ahead. THANK YOU!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel extremely fortunate to have found Karen and her tutoring agency. Karen is extremely easy to deal with; she quickly acts to meet your needs. During the second lockdown, we decided to invest in a daily tutor to support our primary aged son in meeting his online classroom demands. The tutor who Karen helped us with was superb; communicative, warm and knowledgeable. She checked in weekly with the online classroom to ensure she was supporting the work our son was being set and she consistently helped him meet - and exceed expectations. And their rapport was lovely! Whilst we have temporarily stopped working with our tutor, she will be very much missed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elite.

Our son’s tutor has been excellent and guided him through the BOFA process in advance of some entrance exams. The zoom lessons work ok and the learning is very organised, and exactly what we were looking for to complement our useless attempts at homeschooling during five months of Covid lockdown. I’ve just booked another ten lessons!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elite Tutors Sussex is an agency stands out from the crowd for me because it seeks to understand the background of every child and then offers a bespoke program of study, tailor made to suit the individual. I work full time as a Tutor and have had dealings with several agencies and there are only a handful I have come across that seek to promote good communication between the tutor, tutee, parent and the agency. This enables transparency in the learning process with the interests of the child at heart and provides the framework for a positive mindset and for a child to develop their confidence in a subject that they have been struggling with. There are a lot of agencies out there, but few that come close to having the same level of care that is offered by Elite Tutors, so 5 stars from me!
