What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Confidence and enjoyment of learning recur throughout the accounts left by families in Bournemouth, with Stevie named consistently as the tutor behind the progress children make. Parents of primary-age pupils describe lessons shaped around each child's particular needs and character, delivered in a way that feels interactive and encouraging rather than like additional schoolwork. Several reviewers mention children who once avoided or dreaded maths now asking for sums to be called out at home, practising multiplication tables unprompted and receiving a class achievement award for marked improvement.

Preparation for the 11+ features prominently, with weekly workshops, individual sessions and mock tests described as leaving pupils feeling ready and assured ahead of entrance examinations. A point made in several accounts is the weekly feedback outlining objectives covered and progress achieved, together with the patience shown to a young learner with additional needs, for whom visual and practical approaches were used to support foundation reading and counting work. Regular updates about the areas a child needs to develop, combined with a warm manner that helps pupils relax, are credited with gains in self-esteem as well as academic confidence.

The Year 3–4 Maths Club delivered by Stevie has been fantastic for my boys. They really enjoy attending each week and always come home feeling positive and enthusiastic. The sessions are engaging, supportive, and make maths fun while building their confidence at the same time. It’s lovely to see them becoming more interested in maths and developing their skills in such a friendly and encouraging environment. We’re so grateful for all the hard work and care that Stevie provides - the boys especially like solving maths puzzles to unlock the treasure chests!

My daughter has come on massively since starting with Stevie at Bright Star Tuition. Not only has her maths improved so much, but she now genuinely enjoys the subject and feels far more confident in her abilities. Her school teachers have even commented on the positive difference they’ve noticed in both her attitude and confidence towards maths. She has just sat her SATs exams feeling confident and well prepared, which is all down to Stevie’s amazing support, patience and encouragement. We are so grateful for everything Stevie has done and would highly recommend Bright Star Tuition to anyone looking to help their child grow in confidence and ability.

Highly recommend Stevie 💜 she has been absolutely amazing with our daughter. We’re incredibly grateful for the support, patience, and dedication Stevie has shown over the past year. At just 7 years old, building confidence and a love for learning is so important, and Stevie has truly helped our daughter grow in both areas. Her lessons are always engaging, encouraging, and tailored to our daughter’s individual needs and personality. We’ve seen such a positive improvement not only in her academic progress, but also in her confidence and willingness to challenge herself. She genuinely looks forward to every session, which says it all.

Stevie was wonderful with our 11 year old son who was more than capable but lacked confidence. He struggled with emotions before exams and believing in himself. After tutoring with Bright Star Tuition he gained great skills and could apply them well. He is now in year 7 and couldn’t be doing better!

My daughter loved going to Stevie’s group sessions. She went in enthusiastically from the very beginning and said Stevie made all the learning fun. She went into her 11 plus confidently and took it all in her stride thanks to the preparation Stevie gave her. Thank you!

My son attended one of the 11+ group sessions and I would highly recommend them. He has the tendency to be a bit of a reluctant learner, however Stevie was incredibly supportive. He enjoyed the sessions and made good progress throughout, resulting in him passing the 11+ test. The sessions are well planned and weekly feedback is given that shows the objectives covered and the progress made. The workshops and mock tests are a great addition too. I will be using Bright Star Tuition when my daughter embarks on her 11+ journey!

I can’t recommend Stevie highly enough! My daughter looked forward to her sessions every week and made incredible progress, passing the grammar tests with confidence having arrived at Bright Star off track. Booking and paying for sessions was simple and communication first rate. I would (and have) thoroughly recommend!
