Cambridge Private Tutors
About the company
Cambridge Private Tutors was founded by Richard, currently a Year 13 student at The Perse Upper School in Cambridge, studying A-Level Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Computer Science. The company provides personalised, in-person and 1-to-1 private tutoring for students aged 9-18, specialising in GCSE and A Level tutoring, as well as 11+ and 13+ entrance exams and KS2/KS3 support.
All Year 12, Year 13 and University tutors are personally selected by the founder, and each has achieved at least a Grade 9 in their subject. Lessons are offered privately, one-to-one, in-person and online, with no group tuition, and a free 20-minute consultation is used to assess a child's needs and match them with a tutor.

We are very grateful for the support of Richard and Robert in helping our son improve from Grade 3 to Grade 6 in GCSE Maths. Their patience, encouragement, and tailored teaching made a real difference to his confidence and progress. Highly recommended!
Robert is doing a great job tutoring my reluctant daughter for her Combined Science GCSE. She says he explains things clearly and she feels she’s making progress. I would definitely recommend Robert as a tutor. Update: my daughter has now done her GCSE and got 9/8. We think this is in large part thanks to Robert!
Djia and Nathan are great tutors, they help my daughter get an offer for the Perse school 10+ entry. Thank you!
We used Cambridge Tutors to prepare for my child 11+ exam, having started quite late with only four months to prepare and no prior support or preparation from her primary school. Richard, the lead, provided invaluable guidance, reassurance, advice, and resources from the outset, which really helped put us at ease. Emma, the tutor, was exceptional. She gave me complete confidence throughout the process and provided my daughter with excellent teaching, structured lesson planning, and support across all aspects of the exam. She was extremely organised, flexible with timings to suit our busy schedule, and consistently well prepared. Emma also took extra time to speak with me when needed, which I really appreciated. She built a strong rapport with my child through her online lessons and created a positive, enjoyable, and confidence-boosting learning environment. I would highly recommend Cambridge Tutors.
Richard worked with my son to prepare him for the 11+ entry exams for the Perse and the Leys and we have had a brilliant experience. Richard was very organised and knowledgeable about the requirements of the exams for the different schools and made sure we were aware of all of the steps in the application process and reminded us of approaching deadlines etc. Richard built a great rapport with my son, who looked forward to his sessions as he made them interesting and engaging, so preparing didn’t feel burdensome or like extra homework. His knowledge of the curriculum was outstanding and he was very good at explaining concepts or areas that my son didn’t understand and making it all seem accessible. He provided clear feedback on areas my son could improve and made sure he felt motivated and positive and confident going into the assessment day. Everything was well managed and Richard was clear at communicating to organise sessions and also planning the time we had for tutoring to make sure that my son had time to cover and work on all of the areas necessary for the exams. We would highly recommend Richard to provide support for entrance exam preparation.
We’ve had a really excellent experience with Cambridge Private Tutors. Richard runs a highly professional and well-connected group of tutors, and it was clear from the start that he genuinely understands both the academic requirements and the pressures families face around entrance exams. He took the time to understand our child’s needs and matched us with a tutor who was an excellent fit. The quality of teaching has been outstanding. The tutor was extremely knowledgeable, well-prepared, and able to explain concepts clearly in a way that built both understanding and confidence. What we appreciated most was the balance between structure and encouragement — lessons were focused and effective, but always delivered with patience and care. Our child felt supported, motivated, and increasingly confident as the exams approached. We also found the whole experience very well managed. Communication was clear and reliable, the tutors were professional and trustworthy, and there was a real sense that everyone involved genuinely wanted our child to do well, which was appreciated. We would highly recommend Cambridge Private Tutors to any family looking for high-quality and inspiring support for entrance exam preparation. It made a real difference for us and for our child.
I have been really impressed by my son’s tutor. He has developed my son’s skills in English and Maths significantly and given him a strong foundation for future success.
