Do you provide individual tuition?

Following the assessment an individual programme of study is planned for the student, based on the areas they need to focus on. Our tuition is individual with each lesson your child does being individually planned. We continually assess your child's progress and plan the next lesson appropriately. Our teachers usually look after four pupils, this means they are not sitting over your child, which many children find uncomfortable and we give the students an opportunity for independent learning. This will improve their ability to concentrate and complete tasks in the classroom situation.

Every child is different and every problem is different. Your child's progress will be monitored with continuous assessment and we will also provide weekly parental feedback. There is no obligation or contract to attend for any period of time. If, for whatever reason (e.g. change of financial circumstances), you decide you are no longer able to attend,we ask you to give us a minimum of two weeks' notice.
