about us
We are a friendly and approachable team of tutors delivering sessions to small groups of children in a calm, positive learning environment.
Each student has access to a laptop and tuition is supported by a vast bank of resources developed by the team.
We work closely with parents, children and where possible, the students’ class teacher to provide the necessary support to ensure that they make progress. As experienced teachers, we take a highly personalised approach to tuition.
Students’ efforts are encouraged through positive reinforcement, reward charts and prizes. Students enjoy learning as part of a group of motivated learners whilst benefiting from our close attention.
We are passionate about supporting learners, either through our personalised tuition sessions, or providing a venue that can be used by alternative education providers, or home educated children. If you would like more information about our alternative education offer, please visit here.
