Study Base Tuition Centre in short

Study Base Tuition Centre is an Ofsted-registered tuition centre on Market Street in Oakengates, giving one-to-one Maths and English alongside SATs, eleven-plus, GCSE and science programmes [4]. DBS-cleared tutors are stated on its own site and the limited company has stood behind it for over a decade, with sessions after school and on Saturdays [5]. In our view it is the most complete outfit in this round.

What customers say is the strongest in the round: five out of five from two dozen Google reviews on its public listing [7]. That breadth of parent feedback, matched with a live company record, is what carries Study Base to the top of our assessment.

What counts against it is unpublished detail: no tuition rates appear beyond the mock-exam fee, and insurance cover goes unstated. Our review still rates the centre the best overall choice for Telford families wanting settled one-to-one teaching.
