The help you need

A tricky topic.
A clearer way forward.

Reading the same explanation for the fifth time can be frustrating. Sometimes a different example, a sketch, or a conversation makes the difference.

Make the topic make sense.

Stuck on navigation, weather, performance or another part of the syllabus? We’ll find the step that’s causing the problem and build the explanation from there.

Give revision a focus.

Bring the questions you keep getting wrong. We’ll work through the method and the reasoning, helping you connect what you’ve learned with how CAA-style questions are asked.

Work out your next step.

Choosing a training route, preparing an application or looking ahead to an airline assessment? Talk it through with people who know the training and the industry.

How it works

Tell us where you’re stuck.
We’ll take it from there.

01

Tell us what you need.

Share your stage of training, the topic or goal, and when you’re available. A question or example you’ve struggled with gives us a useful place to start.

02

Agree the session.

We’ll discuss the right instructor, format and amount of time for you, and confirm the price before you book. Online sessions let you join from wherever you study.

03

Work it through together.

Ask questions, try the method and check your understanding. We’ll help you leave with a clearer idea of what to practise next.

Book a session when you need one, with no minimum commitment. In-person tuition is subject to instructor and venue availability.

A few questions first

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Which courses can you help with?

We offer private tuition alongside PPL, CPL, IR and ATPL ground school studies. Tell us the subject and your current stage so we can discuss suitable support.

Can I have just one session?

Yes. There is no minimum commitment. You can arrange a session for a particular topic or discuss a series if you would benefit from more time.

Is tuition online or in person?

Sessions can be delivered online. In-person tuition may also be available; contact us to discuss the instructor, location and dates before making travel plans.

How much does private tuition cost?

Contact us with the type of help you need. We’ll confirm the rate, session length and arrangements before you book.

Does private tuition replace a ground school course?

No. Private tuition gives you extra one-to-one help; it does not replace a full ground school course or its required assessments. SkyLearner is a UK CAA-approved Approved Training Organisation (ATO), and we offer approved PPL, IR, CPL and ATPL theory courses, with structured learning and instructor support throughout. If you need a complete course, we’ll help you choose the right one. Already studying with SkyLearner? Ask us about the support included in your course before booking additional tuition.

A conversation is a good place to start.

Put the kettle on.
Let’s untangle that question.

Tell us what you’re working towards and what you’d like help with. We’ll talk through a sensible next step, without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
