About us

I'm Alice, and I've spent the last 10 years working as a private tutor specialising in KS2, KS3 and KS4 Maths, including GCSE Further Maths and Functional Skills. I started Compass Learning because I believe tutoring should be shaped entirely around the child in front of you, not a fixed programme everyone follows the same way. Whatever direction your child is heading, it would be a pleasure to help them get there!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer 1-to-1 or group sessions?
Both! 1-to-1 sessions are fully tailored to your child and available across all subjects. Group sessions (up to 8 students) are a great option if your child enjoys learning alongside others, or if you'd like to share the cost with another family.

​

How do group sessions work?

Our small group courses are currently focused on KS2 and KS3 students. Each course focuses on one topic, such as fractions, and runs over several weeks so there's time to revise it properly without rushing.

 

Sessions are live and online, with a maximum of 8 students. To join, fill in the Group Booking form and pay a £10 deposit to reserve a place. (The deposit will be deducted from the final session payment.) Once enough students have registered, we'll confirm the start date. 

​

You can pay session by session or for the whole course up front, whichever suits you (if you would like to pay up front please let us know via our email which you can find at the bottom of the page). Each course runs with the same group from start to finish, so new students can't join partway through. Prices start from £27.50 per student per session and drop as the group grows.

​

How do sessions actually happen — are they in person or online?
All sessions are held online, so your child can learn from home. We recommend younger children sit somewhere in a shared family space rather than alone, just for comfort and safety. All you need is a device and an internet connection — a meeting link is sent ahead of every session.

 

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session (for 1-to-1 only)?
We understand that life happens, we just ask for 24 hours' notice.  If we ever need to cancel on our end (illness, unavailability), we'll always find a new slot that works for you, at no extra cost.

​

How do I get started?
Just get in touch through our booking form and let us know your child's year group and what they need support with. We'll arrange the details, and if you're not sure what's right for your child, you're welcome to book a free 15-minute chat first — totally optional.

1-to-1 Tutoring
 

Every 1-to-1 session is planned around your child specifically, their strengths, their gaps, and the pace that actually works for them. Available across every subject and key stage we offer, from early Primary through to GCSE, Functional Skills and any retakes.

Small Group Tutoring
  

Group sessions are built around a specific topic each term. Each session is planned in advance, with worksheets provided, so every group runs to a clear, structured plan rather than being figured out on the spot.
