One-to-One Tuition

At Hicks Home Learning, I provide tailored one-to-one English tuition for students preparing for the Kent Test, Key Stage 3, and GCSE (AQA). 


Whether your child needs structured revision, ongoing support, or a confidence boost, every lesson is carefully designed to build skill, self-belief, and academic success in a way that suits their individual learning style.

 ✨ "Choosing Jo to tutor your child will not be something you regret - she will go above and beyond to ensure your child's success and confidence in English whatever their ability." ✨


Miss Donkin, Head of Department for English. See Testimonials

What is included with every one-to-one session?

At Hicks Home Learning, one-to-one tuition is never just a one-off lesson. Every student receives:


  • An initial assessment to identify strengths, gaps, and goals.
  • Tailored planning to support revision, schoolwork, or GCSE preparation. Each plan is adapted to your child’s goals, learning style, and pace. 
  • Ongoing progress tracking to monitor development across reading, writing, and analysis.
  • A termly feedback summary for parents, including current strengths and suggested next steps.
  • Optional homework tasks, carefully set and reviewed, to reinforce learning and build confidence.
     

This structured approach ensures long-term academic growth, not just short-term fixes.

 ✨ "Thanks to your great teaching he is able to start the college course he wanted without any English retakes." ✨

Why choose Hicks Home Learning for one-to-one tuition over big-name tutoring platforms?

If you are looking for expert one-to-one English tuition with a personal touch, Hicks Home Learning offers something truly different from some of the big-name tutoring platforms. 


Instead of being matched with a tutor who may lack formal training, you will work directly with a fully qualified English teacher with eleven years of classroom experience, including time as Head of Key Stage 3. I plan every lesson to suit your child’s needs, aligned to the curriculum, and delivered with care. I have extensive experience in creating full schemes of work that build real progress over time. As a result, my lesson content is never outsourced, generic, or rushed. 


There are no hidden fees, no rotating tutors, and no ticket systems. Just consistent, high-quality teaching from someone with a proven track record of helping students excel.

My Pricing Philosophy

I believe that students achieve their best when taught by someone with deep subject knowledge, experience, and care. I do not offer generic tutoring or superficial support. I provide high-quality English teaching through carefully structured tuition, tailored to each learner. 


My pricing reflects eleven years of classroom experience, a First Class degree in English with History, and a Master’s degree in English Literature from the University of St Andrews. My teaching has helped many students exceed their targets. In 2017, I was honoured to be Highly Commended in the Kent Teacher of the Year Awards, in recognition of the quality and impact of my work. 


I am committed to offering clear and transparent rates, with no hidden fees or confusing packages. I work in partnership with families to create long-term learning plans that provide real value, academic progress and lasting confidence.

 ✨ “I went from a low grade to ending Year 11 with a grade 5.” ✨
