Private Tuition

One-to-One CIPS
Study Support.
With a Fellow.

Sometimes the AI Tutor isn't enough. Sometimes you need a real person — someone who's sat the exams, marked the papers, and tutored hundreds of students — to work through a problem with you directly.

Tim Young FCIPS offers private one-to-one tuition sessions tailored entirely to you. Your modules. Your weak spots. Your schedule. No generic lesson plan — just focused, expert guidance that moves you forward.

Who 1-to-1 Tuition Is For

Not everyone needs it. But if any of these sound familiar, it's worth it.

😤

You've failed a module and need to understand why

Results feedback only tells you so much. A session with Tim can pinpoint exactly where your answers went wrong and what to do differently next time.

😰

You've got an exam coming up and you're not ready

A focused 1-to-1 session in the week before an exam is worth more than days of unfocused reading. Tim knows what examiners look for.

🤔

There's one module that just isn't clicking

Some concepts make no sense until someone explains them properly with real examples. That's what this is for.

📝

You want your exam technique reviewed

Tim has marked CIPS corporate programmes. He can read a practice answer and tell you exactly how a real examiner would score it.

🏃

You're self-studying with no tutor support

Distance learners often have no one to ask. A monthly 1-to-1 can keep you on track, answer your questions and stop bad habits forming.

🎯

You want to push for a Merit or Distinction

Passing isn't always enough. If you're aiming high, a tutor who knows the top mark criteria can help you get there.

Simple Process

How It Works

1

Drop Tim an email

2

Agree a time

Tim works around your schedule — evenings and weekends available. Sessions run via video call, no software to install.

3

Your session

A focused hour tailored entirely to what you need. No lesson plan pulled off a shelf — real answers to real questions, in real time.

4

Follow-up notes

After each session Tim sends a short summary of what was covered and any key points to remember. Something to refer back to when revising.

FAQs

Common Questions

What's included in the first discounted session?
Exactly the same as a standard session — a full hour with Tim, tailored to your needs. The £25 first session exists so you can see whether it's right for you before committing to the full rate. No catch.
How do I pay?
Payment is taken before the session via bank transfer or card. Tim will confirm details when you book. No payment, no booking — simple.
What if I need to cancel?
Life happens. 24 hours' notice and Tim will rearrange at no charge. Less than 24 hours' notice and the session fee still applies — Tim's time is his livelihood.
Can I book regular sessions?
Absolutely. Many students book weekly or fortnightly leading up to exams. Tim can build a loose programme around your exam timetable if that's helpful.
Is this affiliated with CIPS?
No. SupplySensei and Tim Young operate completely independently of CIPS. This is private tutoring from an experienced CIPS professional — not an officially endorsed service.
What if I just need the AI Tutor instead?
The AI Tutor covers a lot of ground at £19.99 for all three levels — it's the right starting point for most students. The 1-to-1 is for when you need a real human to work through something with you. Both are available — you don't have to choose one or the other.

He goes above and beyond for his students. He challenges your thinking, making you think from a different perspective on how to become better in your day-to-day job role. I would highly recommend!
