Quiet, consistent support across every stage of education.

Private Tuition

Structured tuition for students across all age groups and curricula.

Velar Private provides bespoke academic tuition across a wide range of subjects, ages, and formats. Tuition is arranged discreetly, often alongside school or university applications, long-term planning, or during key transitional stages.

Our tutors are selected for both expertise and character—and are supported throughout by mentor providing calm, structured oversight.

We offer a high-level mentoring layer to ensure cohesion and clarity across the student’s academic life.

Below are our most common area of focus.

Supplementary

Ongoing subject support alongside a school curriculum. Designed to reinforce understanding, address areas of difficulty, or deepen academic engagement across core and elective subjects.

Exam Preparation

Targeted support ahead of public exams including GCSE, A-Level, IB, SAT, ACT, and AP. Tuition is structured around each student’s exam board, learning style, and existing commitments.

School Entrance Preparation

Academic and interview preparation for entry to UK, US, and international day and boarding schools. Integrated with broader school advisory work for consistency and confidence throughout.

University Entrance Preparation

Academic and interview preparation for entry to UK, US, and international day and boarding schools. Integrated with broader school advisory work for consistency and confidence throughout.

University-Level

Subject tuition and academic guidance for students at undergraduate level—especially during periods of adjustment, increased pressure, or before key assessments.

Interview Preparation

Support in articulating ideas clearly and with confidence—whether for school entry, university selection panels, or future internships. Tutors focus on critical thinking, expression, and poise.

Learning Recovery

Short- or medium-term tuition for students who have experienced disruption, underperformance, or disengagement. Tutors work calmly to rebuild focus, confidence, and progress.

Languages

Specialist tutors available for English as a first or additional language, as well as French, Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, and more. Lessons can be academic or conversational, with cultural context considered where appropriate.

Senior Learners

We support adult and postgraduate learners seeking structured guidance, academic refinement, or subject-specific tuition. This may include research support, professional development, or continued study undertaken alongside career or family life.

For Families Seeking Structure & Continuity.

Our work is not reactive or hourly—it is structured, proactive, and long-term in view. Many families remain with us for years, adjusting the intensity or focus of tuition as needed.

We serve students attending day schools, boarding schools, international schools, and those following bespoke or hybrid pathways. All tutoring is delivered within a wider framework of support—never as a standalone service.

We begin by understanding the student’s context and aims. Tutors are selected not just on qualification, but on compatibility and long-term alignment. From there, we oversee the structure, delivery, and rhythm of tuition throughout.

Every element—academic, pastoral, and strategic—is part of one cohesive relationship.
