A bit of background as to how we established ourselves as the go-to tutoring service in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and West London.
"We're life long learners that began tutoring in Berkshire whilst studying for our Bachelors of Science degrees. Having taught ourselves how to learn effectively we became passionate about the idea of approaching education in a more engaging way.
Word spread and as demand grew for quality tutors the team decided to expand, bringing on fresh, qualified talent and partnering with local schools to provide great educational facilities.
We've had hundreds of students go through our tutoring over the last decade and it's rewarding to see the impact we can have."
- Zayn, Seiar and Ali (Founders of Ad Astra)
See our journey below.
Talent is hard to find. We started as an agency, sourcing quality tutors and pairing them to students across Berkshire.
A big year for us! We launched our first tuition centre. We had an influx of students and began bringing on new talent to support.
Local schools needed more after school support and we began partnering programmes which supported over 1,000 students to date.
Now in multiple locations in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Greater London we're expanding our services, our locations and we're excited to see how much more we can do.

Our approach to learning is based on three principles: Adapt, Instill and Expand.

We assess each learner to establish their current academic level and adapt to their needs to support them the best way possible.
We create learning environments that promote a culture of participation, which instills confidence and increases classroom engagement.
Consistency is key to learning, with weekly or daily support available for each learner we work with you to reach your goals.
We only employ the best talent, with our tutor team continuously growing we look for personable tutors that can deliver learning in a range of formats. We operate a diverse team and if you have a preference for a male or female tutor we can also accomodate.

Founder
It’s great when students leave happy. It means they have taken something away with them.
Founder
We always ensure we have the right balance between practice and teaching.
Founder
It’s good to know that ten years later we are still relevant and still producing good quality teaching materials.
Maths
Ensuring we are systematic in how we deliver our lessons allows students to fill in any gaps in their understanding.
Chemistry and Biology
Still being at university and teaching with Ad Astra means I am able to relate to the students and work with them.
11+ Co-ordinator
We try to keep things simple. Consistency and good organisation allow us to get the results we do year on year.
Maths and Physics
Small class sizes and focused resources have been pushing our GCSE students to achieve great grades.
English literature and Language
I thoroughly enjoy studying poetry with our students. Breaking down what is being said allows for greater understanding when analysing.
Early Years
Helping younger students grasp concepts and watching them develop is so satisfying. Ad Astra provided such a positive environment.
Primary School Teacher
Instilling the students with foundational methods and understanding will stay with them forever. I love that about teaching.
