What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Consistently positive feedback from families in Belfast centres on the quality of tutoring and the confidence it builds in students. Parents of GCSE, A-Level and year 10 pupils describe tutors who break down difficult topics in science, maths, chemistry and biology, adapting each session to the pupil's weaker areas. Named tutors such as Sam, Lauren, Emily, Mason, Jenni, Eoin, Lucy and Odhran are repeatedly praised for patience, encouragement and subject knowledge, with Sam singled out for making sessions enjoyable and Emily for helping a daughter prepare diligently for exams.

One thing mentioned again and again is the reliability and responsiveness of the service: tutors arrive well prepared, sessions are engaging, and communication before and after lessons is clear and consistent. Customers in several reviews describe the administrative support positively, noting that Jonny, Jonathan and Jenni arranged tutors quickly, accommodated busy schedules and rescheduled sessions around exam timetables without fuss.

Online one-to-one lessons are valued for convenience and the ease of revisiting previous notes, while the flexible setup suits last-minute exam preparation. Parents report clear progress over time, improved understanding of key topics and greater confidence, with one pupil comparing sessions to a form of rescue after a previous tutor left.

Reach Tutoring arranged high quality remote tutoring for my daughter in A Level Biology. It helped my daughter gain better understanding of topics covered in class in an environment where she could comfortably question until she was confident in her understanding. The Tutor Emily was excellent and it was great to see my daughter’s confidence build with the assistance given to her to diligently prepare for her exams. I highly recommend Emily and Reach Tutoring

Reach Tutoring came to the rescue when my daughter's previous tutor stopped tutoring a few weeks in to the school year. They have a brilliant set up, and Mason worked with my daughter on her weaker points and confidence to help with her Maths A-Level exams. I can't recommend Reach Tutoring enough!

Many thanks to Reach Tutoring for all their help with maths tutoring for my year 10 son this year. Lauren was fantastic, so patient and supportive. She really helped my son’s confidence with maths. Jonny was very helpful sorting out any time we needed to rearrange. Would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with Reach Tutoring and I would highly recommend them. The support provided this year was exceptional from start to finish. Jenni and Eoin were both absolutely brilliant. They were patient, encouraging, knowledgeable and so supportive throughout a very stressful exam period. The tutoring itself was excellent, but what really stood out was the reassurance and confidence they gave along the way. Their help was genuinely invaluable and made such a difference, not only academically but in helping things feel much more manageable. We are so grateful for all the time, care and effort that went into supporting us this year. A really positive experience from start to finish and I would not hesitate to recommend Reach Tutoring to anyone looking for high quality, supportive tutoring.

I am very grateful to Reach Tutoring. From start to finish, Jonathan has been very helpful setting up tutoring sessions and ensuring that each child’s needs were met. Nearer to the exams , Jonathan went above and beyond and facilitated sessions around exam time tables. A big thank you to Jonathan, Lucy and Odhran.

Both daughters needed some last minute help before exams. Jonny was able to find tutors very quickly and was very accommodating with setting up suitable days/times to fit into their busy schedules. All very straightforward and the tutors have been a great help. Thank you!
