7 Signs Your Child Might Benefit From A Tutor

As a parent, it’s natural to want your child to succeed in school—but sometimes, it’s hard to know when to step in and seek extra support. AtFox & Co Tutoring, we work with students at all stages, from those who are falling behind to high-achievers looking to stretch further.

Here are 7 common signs your child might benefit from personalised tutoring—either online or in person:

1. Falling Grades or Inconsistent Performance

If your child’s grades have suddenly dropped or seem inconsistent across subjects, it may be more than just a rough patch. A tutor can help identify gaps in understanding and rebuild confidence.

2. Avoidance of Homework or Studying

If homework leads to arguments, tears, or avoidance, it could be a sign that your child is feeling overwhelmed. A supportive tutor can make learning feel manageable again.

3. Lack of Confidence

Sometimes, students know the material but lack the confidence to speak up in class or attempt challenging questions. Our tutors help build self-esteem alongside subject knowledge.

4. Learning Differences or Special Educational Needs (SEND)

Children with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or other learning differences often benefit from one-on-one attention and a customised approach. Our team has experience supporting a wide range ofSEND learners.

5. Transition Periods or Exam Prep

If your child is preparing for SATs, 11+, GCSEs, A Levels, or switching schools, a tutor can provide guidance, structure, and targeted revision during these high-pressure times.

6. You’re Homeschooling and Need Support

Home education can be incredibly rewarding—but also challenging. We provide flexible, curriculum-aligned tutoring for home-educated students across core subjects and beyond.

7. You Just Want to Get Ahead

Tutoring isn’t just for students who are struggling. Many families work with us to stretch gifted learners, support language acquisition, or keep learning going over the holidays.
