Find the answers to our most frequently asked questions

What subjects do we teach?

English, maths, physics and chemistry.

What ages do you teach?

We tutor children from ages 4-18.

Can your tutors come to our home to tutor?

No. Our tutors will teach your child in our well-equipped learning centre, which provides them with the optimal learning environment with minimal distractions. If you would prefer your child to be tutored in the comfort of your own home, we offer live online tutoring, using our bespoke learning platform.

Please contact us for more information 01277 621515.

What days/times do you offer?

We are open 6 days a week (Monday- Saturday) and have sessions running at a variety of different times. If you would like more information about our current availability, please call 01277 621515.

Can you tutor for the 11+?

Yes. We have highly experienced 11+ tutors who can prepare your child for the 11+ examination. We have an excellent pass rate.

What happens during the school holidays?

We are fully open for sessions for 48 weeks of the year. We close for two weeks over the Christmas holidays and two weeks over the Easter school holidays. Our closure dates at Christmas and Easter are similar to local school holiday dates. We publish our holiday calendar on our website.

If you are away at other points in the year, sessions can be deferred and caught up at a later date (as long as you make us aware at least 48 hours beforehand). We would much rather our student's use their sessions.

How do I know how my child is progressing?

After each session, your child's tutor will give you feedback on the work that they completed in the session and how they got on. We fully reassess all children at least once a term. If further feedback is required, parents are more than welcome to contact the centre.

Is all the work done on a computer?

No, this is a common misconception as we have computers in our rooms. Our sessions are broken down into a number of short activities to maintain motivation and focus. Some of the activities are on the computer, some are written and some are game based, but all are planned to work towards each child's individual targets.

My child has additional needs, can you cater for them?

We teach children with a variety of needs at the centre, including ADHD, dyslexia, ASD, hearing impairment and global delay (plus many more). It is important that we establish the best way to tutor your child as all the children that we teach deserve to have their needs met. We always endeavour to work with parents to ensure their child is in the right environment for their needs.

Do you give homework?

Yes we do. Homework is an important part of the Kip McGrath programme as it consolidates learning from the session. We appreciate that some children get a lot of homework from school and this may also cause them some anxiety, we aim for our homework to be stress-free and the children are given incentives to complete their homework each week. On average homework should take no more than 30 minutes and should be able to complete it independently.

Is it 1-1 tuition?

The children recieve 1-1 tuition within a small group (maximum of 4 students). Each child has a bespoke learning plan, that is specifically tailored to their needs. As we keep our session groups small, the children are able to recieve plenty of 1-1 time with their tutor and have time to work independently-which builds their confidence. We believe that tutoring in this method, enables the children to transfer this confidence into a classroom environment.

How long is each session?

70 minutes. Within this time the children complete a number of different activities which are planned to meet their learning needs.

Am I tied into a contract?

No. Two weeks notice is required, but there is no fixed contract.
