Concierge academic mentoring · Riyadh

A structured pathway for a small number of families.

Most tutoring fixes a topic. I build a plan around the whole child — diagnosing where they really are, then closing the gap, term by term, with one experienced educator who stays accountable for the outcome.

The gap

Strong schools, and still a quiet worry.

Your child is at a good school. And yet something isn't clicking — a subject that slipped, a confidence that dipped, an entrance exam on the horizon that the classroom can't prepare for alone.

Group classrooms move at the pace of the room. A serious plan moves at the pace of your child — and someone owns the result.

It's diagnosed, not guessed.We start by finding the actual gap, not the symptom a worried parent reports.

It's one person, not a rota.The same educator plans, teaches and reviews — so nothing falls between handovers.

It's measured.Progress is reviewed against clear markers, not vague reassurance that "they're doing well."

Who you work with

One educator, directly accountable.

No roster. No handovers. No rotating tutors.

Riyadh Tutoring is led by a British-curriculum educator based in Riyadh — with experience across primary teaching, curriculum and assessment — including leading mathematics — and targeted academic intervention. I don't run a roster of anonymous tutors. I work with each family myself, so the focus stays on the child and their learning.

You're not buying tutoring hours. You're buying a plan, and one educator who stays accountable for whether it works. The service is discreet by design — but not anonymous. My full professional background, suitability checks and references are shared with you directly before any programme begins.

The method

The Pathway

Every family starts the same way and follows the same four stages. It's a programme, not a packet of sessions — which is exactly why it produces movement you can see.

01
Paid · the entry point

Development Audit

A structured diagnostic of where your child actually stands — academically and in confidence and habits. You leave with a clear written picture and an honest view of what's needed, whether or not we go further. This is a paid first step, by design: it filters for families who are serious, and it means our work starts from evidence.

02
The plan

The Map

From the audit, I build a term-by-term plan with specific targets — the gap to close, the sequence to close it, and how we'll know it's working. You see the destination before we begin.

03
The work

The Programme

Weekly one-to-one sessions, online or in person, with structured practice between them. The same educator throughout — building the relationship that makes a child willing to be stretched.

04
The accountability

Review

Progress is checked against the markers we set, with a straight conversation with you each term. If something isn't moving, we change the plan — not the explanation.

For some families this is a single, focused fix. For others it becomes a longer relationship — termly planning and review as a child grows, so the important decisions are made early rather than rushed later.

Where I work

Depth, not a menu.

I work across the primary and lower-secondary core curriculum — kept to a focused range so the work stays genuinely expert. If it isn't a strong fit, I'll tell you plainly and, where I can, point you somewhere better.

Primary · Lower secondary

Core curriculum

The subjects that carry a child's school week — maths, English and reasoning — taught for genuine understanding, not procedures that collapse under a new question type.

Year 5 entry · 11+

Selective entry

Structured preparation for GL and ISEB-style assessments and competitive school entry, without rote drilling.

Confidence · habits

How they learn

Study habits, independence and confidence — the foundations that make the academic work actually hold.

No phantom roster, no "every subject, every age." A focused range, done seriously.

The first step

What the Development Audit includes.

A paid 60–75 minute diagnostic and parent consultation, followed by a written summary. You leave with a clear picture and an honest recommendation — whether or not we go further.

Academic diagnostic

A focused review of where your child stands — misconceptions, reasoning, fluency and written methods.

Learning-habit review

Confidence, independence, accuracy, and how the child responds when the work gets hard.

Parent consultation

A direct conversation about school context, upcoming assessments, concerns and goals.

Written summary

A clear document setting out strengths, the priority gaps, and what they actually mean.

Pathway recommendation

An honest view on whether ongoing support is needed, and what it should focus on first.

No obligation

If a programme isn't the right call, I'll tell you. The audit stands on its own value.

The audit isn't a test your child needs to pass. It's a professional diagnostic — built to find the highest-leverage next steps, not to grade them. It's paid, and quoted before you book.

An illustrative example of what an audit surfaces: a child who was fluent with procedures but struggled to reason through unfamiliar, multi-step problems — so the first weeks focused on reasoning, the vocabulary of comparison, and explaining method choice, rather than more drilling.

Professional standards

Serious work, handled properly.

Working with children, and with discerning families, carries a duty of care. How that's kept is part of the service — not an afterthought.

Clear written expectations and transparent scheduling, agreed with parents from the outset.
In-person sessions in family-approved settings, with a parent present or nearby.
Communication about a child runs through the parent — never private channels with the child.
Background, suitability checks and references shared with you directly before any programme begins.
Fit

Availability

A small number of places.

Working with a small number of families keeps the focus where it belongs — on each child and their learning. When places are full, there's a short waiting list. The first step is always a conversation on WhatsApp.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Yes. The Development Audit is a deliberate first step, not a sales call. It gives you a clear written picture of where your child stands and what's needed — useful to you whether or not we work together. It also means any ongoing plan is built on evidence rather than assumption.

Both. Sessions run in person across Riyadh or online, depending on what suits the family and the child. The structure and accountability are the same either way.

British National Curriculum, Cambridge Primary, the primary and lower-secondary core curriculum, and GL / ISEB-style selective entry (including 11+). The same diagnostic-led approach applies across the core subjects a child is studying.

Primary and lower-secondary students — broadly the years where a strong foundation and the right habits make the biggest long-term difference. If your child sits outside that, tell me and I'll be honest about fit.

Typically 60 minutes, with structured practice set between sessions so progress continues during the week — not just in the room.

I teach, plan and review every child myself, and work with only a small number of families — so the focus stays on each child and their learning, rather than on managing a roster.
