HOW DO YOU CHARGE FOR YOUR TEACHING SERVICES?

ARE YOU OFSTED REGISTERED?

Yes we are. 

​

We can accept Childcare Vouchers for payment of fees or you can claim against your Child Tax Credits

WHAT IS THE SESSION STRUCTURE LIKE?

The tutor will take time out to teach your child the topic planned for the session and then will set questions. The answers will be marked throughout the session with individual feedback and tips being given.  This happens throughout the session.  

​

The children work in exercise books with these being available for revision. 

DO YOU ONLY PREPARE CHILDREN FOR EXAMS?

No we don't.  This isn't to say that examination preparation isn't an important part of what we provide, it is just that is only part of what we provide.  For many children, we are filling the gaps in their knowledge and this will include examination preparation if this is appropriate. For others, we are helping them fill their gaps and bringing their levels up. Tuition should never be a one size fits all as children all have differing needs and we will aim to help the individual needs of all our students whether this is preparing for an upcoming GCSE, SATS or 11+ exam or whether we are filling the gaps in their education.

ARE ALL THE CHILDREN TAUGHT AS A GROUP?

No absolutely not.  Each child has their own personalised tuition plan that is based on their needs.  The tutors then prepare for each child as an individual prior to each session. Your child's needs are unique and so should their tuition be.  Yes we will work on things like exam technique but we build this into the personalised needs for each child.

​

We have found that even if you have two children who are in the same set or on the same table at school, they will have different strengths and will find different topics challenging. By personalising the tuition, we are able to support these individual needs and build the support alongside what the children are covering in school to iron out any issues as soon as they arise. We are also then able to tailor the tuition to the individual exam boards, books/plays for English Literature and 11+ exams for the differing schools amongst other areas. 

HOW BIG ARE THE GROUPS?

There is a maximum of six students per group for the in centre sessions.  This is reduced to four online to ensure the best possible connection

DO YOU HAVE SEPARATE CLASSROOMS FOR EACH GROUP?

Yes we do.  We consider this to be extremely important as it ensures the best possible environment for learning.  This is the advantage of having our own dedicated centres rather than operating in church halls. 

DO YOU OFFER SIBLING DISCOUNTS?

Yes we do for members of the same family.  Please look at our prices page.

DO YOU CHARGE FOR MISSED LESSONS?

If we are given at least 48 hours notice, the fee is still payable but we will offer a catch up session at an agreed time within six weeks. If we receive less notice than this, we will do our utmost to arrange a catch up session within the following seven days.
