Our lovely rooms, on a farm in Cambridgeshire are just perfect for purposeful group tutoring.
In the daytime, it’s used as an Alternate Provision, so it is set up to allow students to work in a relaxed an informal setting, more like a Sixth form common room than a classroom.

Why Red Bird?
There will be an absolute maximum of 5 places in each session, a number we have arrived at over the years to have the most impact in a face to face setting. Not too many that anyone gets lost,- but more than is uncomfortable when you get a bit lost or unsure.
As the year goes on, we will shift focus to make sure that your child is ready for their end of year exam.
Our tutor
Sue has been teaching for over 30 years and Red Bird Tutoring is her creation, blending teaching, coaching and tutoring for a unique and vibrant way to access a subject.
In her case, English is her thing. She mostly works with reluctant readers and writers to get them enthused enough to get the GCSE grade they need for the next step in their journey.
For your peace of mind, all of our staff hold a recent DBS and we’re voluntarily registered with Ofsted.
What PARENTS are Saying
"The difference that Red Bird has made to my son in the few weeks that he has attended has been nothing short of miraculous."
"Red Bird really make the effort to find out what makes each child tick, which is so important when inspiring young people to learn well.
My son willingly gives up a chunk of his valuable loafing time every Saturday morning for his Red Bird sessions - no complaints - and he comes out smiling and happy to tell me what he's been learning.
I consider this very high praise, coming from a teenager and I am happy that his confidence in this subject is growing well in advance of his GCSEs."
"My son says he wishes his experience at school was like that at Red Bird. He feels able to ask questions and learn without feeling under pressure."
What LEARNERS are Saying
"All of the tutors are very lovely and supportive. They helped me improve my skills in English, which I am incredibly grateful for. They also taught me good revision techniques and how to manage stress."
"I learn AND have fun - that’s crazy! My grades got much better and it’s made me more productive."
