What do you do?
We aim to provide one to one tuition to those children that find it easier to learn complicated topics in the comfort of their own home and with the undivided attention of the teacher.
Lessons are tailored to suit the individual needs of the pupil.
We will also provide support fo the pupil outside of scheduled lessons (eg, we are contactable by phone or email if they have a homework problem etc)
Lessons can be terminated or postponed at any time by giving 24 hours notice.
FAQs
Can you tutor more than one pupil at a time?
Yes, however, the pupils must be studying the same work, their abilities must be relatively equal and they must be able to work well together.
11+ Entrance Exams
Ideally revision for the 11+ exams should not start until the pupil is in Year 5 and that they have attained Level 4 in Year 4 Maths and English.
