Expert CIPS Tuition,
Just for You.

Private tuition is our most personalised training option. You’ll work directly with Katie Jarvis-Grove FCIPS in one to one sessions that are shaped entirely around your learning goals, pace, and schedule.

Unlike group courses, every minute is focused on you, your questions, your weak areas, and the specific modules you need help with. It’s the fastest, most effective way to build confidence and get exam-ready.

Private tuition is available for all CIPS levels (Level 2 through Level 6) and can be booked as individual sessions or as a structured package covering a full module.

Private Tuition Is
Ideal If You

Need Help with a Specific Module

Struggling with a particular topic? Private sessions let Katie focus entirely on the areas you find most challenging, with tailored examples and explanations.

Are Preparing for a Resit

If you’ve had an unsuccessful exam attempt, private tuition gives you intensive, targeted coaching to address the gaps and go in confident next time.

Want to Fast-Track Your Progress

Working to a tight deadline or want to accelerate through a level? One to one sessions let you move at your own pace without waiting for a cohort schedule.

Study Elsewhere but Need Extra Support

Not getting the support you need from your current provider? Many of our private tuition students study elsewhere but come to Katie for the expert guidance that makes the difference.

Prefer a Fully Personalised Approach

Some learners get more from one to one attention than group settings. If you want training that’s 100% tailored to your role, sector, and learning style, private tuition is for you.

Are Aiming for Top Marks

If you’re not just looking to pass but want to achieve a distinction or the highest possible grade, private tuition gives you the edge with in-depth exam technique coaching.

FAQs

Common questions about
one to one sessions.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Book a free call with Katie and ask her directly.
  • How are sessions delivered?
    All sessions are delivered online via video call. This means you can learn from anywhere, no travel required. Sessions are recorded (with your permission) so you can revisit them later.
  • Can I book sessions around my work schedule?
    Absolutely. We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends. We’ll find times that work for you.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    It depends on your situation. Some students need just one or two sessions for targeted exam prep, while others benefit from a full module package. Katie will recommend the right number after your initial conversation.
  • Can my employer pay for private tuition?
    Yes. We can provide a quote and invoice directly to your employer. Private tuition is a popular option for employer-funded CPD and upskilling.
  • What if I need to reschedule a session?
    We understand that work and life can be unpredictable. However, we do ask for at least one weeks’ notice for rescheduling, and we’ll find an alternative time that works.
