What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

The Learning Room, on Preston Road near Preston Park station in Brighton, runs small-group and one-to-one sessions in maths, English and science for pupils preparing for SATs and GCSEs. A point raised again and again in reviews is the exam technique built into sessions alongside subject knowledge, with tutors named Tony, Alex, Gordon and Abbie mentioned across different families as central to pupils' progress. Several parents describe children who had missed schooling, including through the effects of ADHD or AudHD, catching up and going on to sit exams they had once expected to miss entirely, with results described as well beyond initial predictions.

Reviewers repeatedly mention a favourable tutor-to-pupil ratio, which several say allowed sessions to be focused on exactly the areas a child needed most rather than a general syllabus. Communication and reliability come up often, with parents describing sessions that consistently ran on time and covered what had been planned. Confidence alongside grades is raised by more than one family as the main change they noticed. The centre runs on weekday afternoons and early evenings, with a short Saturday morning slot and no Sunday sessions, giving families a regular weekly pattern to plan around.

My daughter had tutoring once a week in year 6 and as well as really enjoying it, the work they did meant she got good SAT results. She was also more confident going into them. We will be continuing using them in high school. We really rate the tutor to pupil ratio as this meant my daughter had help focussing (she has ADHD) and they could tailor the sessions to the areas she needed most.

I can’t thank Tony enough for the support he and the team at The Learning Room gave my son during his GCSE preparation. Tony’s Maths tutoring gave him a real confidence boost—he even said he learnt more in one session than the whole of Year 10. Near exam time, the Science tutors at The Learning Room were also fantastic. While I didn’t catch all their names, my son found those sessions just as valuable and enjoyed studying with them. The Learning Room provides a friendly, supportive environment. I’m truly grateful for the whole team’s effort and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

Tony and his team are fantastic. My daughter’s confidence increased each week from the very beginning and felt reassured. If your kids are feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed then this is the solution.

My son really enjoyed his weekly science sessions and extra revision sessions. He found them very useful and they definitely helped him feel more confident for his GCSEs.

Fantastic tutoring service, we are so lucky to have this is our City! My son did English for nearly a year & The Learning Room was incredibly helpful in getting him through his GCSE. Thanks to Alex & Tony for the hard word & help getting my son over the line, Im not sure he would have been able to pass without you. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic service, our daughter was so behind with school being so bad. She went from predicted U-3’s to siting all of her exams and being able to answer the majority of questions feeling confident. Tony, Alex and Gordon have been such a support for our AudHD child, I don’t think she could’ve sat her GCSE’s without them. I highly recommend them

My son found The Learning Room very helpful in preparing for his English GCSE. The lessons were clear, supportive, and focused on exam technique, which really improved both his understanding and confidence. I would happily recommend the centre to other parents.
