About Us

Studybuds is a boutique educational consultancy providing exceptional one-to-one tuition and academic mentoring for families seeking the highest standard of educational support.

We work with carefully selected tutors who combine outstanding subject knowledge with extensive teaching experience, enabling us to match each student with an educator who understands their academic goals, learning style and aspirations.

Whether preparing for 11+, 13+, GCSE, A Level or university entrance, our approach extends beyond examination success. We develop confident, independent learners with the critical thinking, study skills and resilience needed to thrive in highly competitive academic environments.

Our tuition is available in person across London and the South East, online throughout the UK and internationally, and through bespoke programmes designed around each family’s individual requirements.

Every family receives a personalised service, ensuring continuity, discretion and exceptional educational support from the initial consultation through to the achievement of each student’s goals.

Founder

Studybuds was founded by Kwame Sarpong, an experienced educator with over two decades of teaching, tutoring and educational consultancy experience.

Kwame has taught and supported students across primary, secondary and post-16 education, working in a wide range of schools throughout England, including The BRIT School. Alongside his classroom experience, he has advised families as a private tutor and worked within the education technology sector, giving him a broad understanding of both traditional and modern approaches to learning.

Throughout his career, Kwame has worked with students of varying abilities, including those preparing for GCSEs and other key academic milestones. His philosophy is that exceptional tuition should not simply improve grades, but also cultivate confidence, intellectual curiosity and the habits of an independent learner.

Recognising that many families found it difficult to identify tutors who combined academic excellence with professionalism and the right personal fit, Kwame established Studybuds to provide a more thoughtful, personalised and carefully curated tutoring service. Every tutor is selected not only for subject expertise but also for the ability to inspire, challenge and build meaningful relationships with students.

"With their support, he has improved his GCSE grades from a 3 to a 5 in Maths and from a 3 to a 6 in Science. We have also seen a noticeable improvement in both his understanding and approach to his studies."

“We highly recommend Kwame! Our son achieved a Grade 8 in GCSE Maths, which completely exceeded our expectations. While he put in an incredible amount of hard work and dedication, Kwame provided the essential structure, guidance and support needed to make that effort count. Going from a predicted Grade 6/7 to achieving a Grade 8 is a testament to both our son's focus and Kwame's excellent tutoring. Thank you for helping him unlock his full potential!”

"My daughter and I went through numerous maths tutors from well known online offerings. The quality was either inferior, too high level or the tutor just couldn’t communicate or convey concepts in a way my daughter could receive. Studybuds improved my daughters confidence and she now understands concepts she previously struggled with. My daughter passed GCSE Maths with the guidance and tailored teaching methods of Studybuds. My only regret is that we didn’t find them sooner. Highly recommend."

"My daughter enjoys her online tuition. Once you’ve registered its easy to use the system and interact. The tuition has been a great way for her to keep up her learning during the lockdown and prepare for year 7 now that Studybuds have helped her pass the 11+."

"My tuition with Studybuds has allowed me to gain confidence in my maths skills and I have learnt that even if I don’t think I know it, I should still try as I have a chance of getting the answer correct. They treat you with respect which is why I learned easily and quickly."
