Meet Our SATs Tutors
A SATs tutor should be DBS certified, overseen by qualified specialists, and working from a curriculum built by people who understand how the KS2 tests are actually marked. Sterling Study was founded by two PhD scientists who personally design that curriculum and oversee every tutor who delivers it.
Parth holds a Neuroscience PhD from UCL and an MSc from Imperial College London, with research experience at the Francis Crick Institute. His background is in the science of how the brain learns and retains information.
Why this matters for your child: Parth builds Sterling Study's SATs tuition around proven memory and recall techniques, so Year 6 pupils do not just cover the Reading, GPS and Maths content, they retain it under test conditions.
Igors holds a PhD in Genetics from the University of Surrey and works as a Specialist Scientist at UCL. He leads the design of Sterling Study's KS2 SATs content, turning the National Curriculum into clear, structured lessons Year 6 pupils can actually follow.
Why this matters for your child: Igors writes every worksheet and lesson plan in-house, so the material is tuned to exactly what the Standards and Testing Agency tests, not generic bought-in content.
Every specialist SATs tutor who teaches your child is chosen and overseen by Parth and Igors. All UK staff are DBS certified, and our Director, Ms Yesha Mukhtiar, is the named Safeguarding Officer. Because tuition is fully online, families searching for a SATs tutor near me are never limited by geography, whether you are in London, Birmingham, Coventry, Wembley or East Ham, sessions run live, UK-wide.

Why SATs Results Matter for Your Child's Future
SATs do not decide which secondary school your child attends, but the results still shape their first year there in ways many parents do not expect.
Year 7 Setting
Secondary schools commonly use KS2 scaled scores to help set Maths and English classes when a child arrives in Year 7, ahead of their own internal assessments.
Greater Depth Recognition
A scaled score of 110 or above can flag a pupil for enrichment, gifted and talented programmes, or earlier stretch content once they start secondary school.
Confidence Going Into KS3
A secure grasp of Reading, GPS and Maths before September means less time spent catching up and more time building on solid foundations in Year 7.
Not a School Admissions Factor
SATs results do not affect which secondary school a child attends. Admissions are based on catchment, siblings or faith criteria, or, for grammar schools, the separate 11+ exam.
