Tuition from Reception to GCSE.

Reception

A gentle start to early learning

For children at the beginning of primary education, we discuss their readiness, needs and the suitability of our setting before agreeing support. Early learning can focus on communication, listening, early literacy and number understanding through practical activities.

Families can tell us what their child enjoys and what makes learning difficult, helping us explore a suitable starting point.

Year 1 and Year 2

Building confidence in the foundations

Early primary support focuses on the skills that make the wider curriculum more accessible. Depending on the child's needs, sessions may include reading, writing, phonics and early maths.

We use practical resources, clear explanations and opportunities to revisit learning. Movement and breaks can be built into sessions. We work at a manageable pace so children have time to develop understanding and experience success.

Year 3 and Year 4

Strengthening skills as learning develops

As the primary curriculum becomes more demanding, some children benefit from extra time to consolidate their understanding. We can support reading comprehension, writing, spelling and maths, with teaching matched to the child's starting point.

Sessions help children practise skills, explore different methods and ask questions. Where confidence has fallen, we build achievable steps into the work and recognise progress along the way.

Year 5 and Year 6

Preparing for the next stage of education

Upper primary tuition can strengthen English and maths, address gaps in learning and support the move towards secondary education. We adapt teaching to the child's current understanding and the areas they find most challenging.

Support may also include organisation, greater independence and confidence with unfamiliar tasks. We work with families to agree priorities, whether the focus is schoolwork, assessments or preparing for change.

SATs

Preparation at a manageable pace

SATs support focuses on the knowledge and skills a child needs, alongside familiarity with question styles. We can work on reading, grammar, punctuation, spelling and maths according to individual priorities.

Practice is balanced with explanation and feedback. We consider assessment anxiety and help children develop ways to approach a task, check their work and seek support when they are unsure.

Key Stage 3

Year 7 to Year 9 learning support

Key Stage 3 tuition helps students strengthen their understanding before GCSE study. We offer support in English, maths and science, with other subjects discussed according to availability.

Students may need help with current topics, earlier gaps or the demands of secondary school. We break learning into clear steps and revisit key ideas. Sessions can also support study habits, organisation and confidence in working more independently.

GCSE

Year 10 and Year 11 subject support

We provide GCSE tuition in English, maths and science, with additional subjects discussed individually. Teaching is planned around the student's starting point, qualification and relevant exam specification.

Sessions may combine subject teaching, exam questions, revision planning and feedback. We explain how to approach different tasks and help students identify what to practise next. Where anxiety or interrupted education has affected learning, we agree priorities and work at a manageable pace.

Exam entry arrangements are discussed separately from tuition.

11 Plus & entrance exams

Preparing with understanding and confidence

Our 11 plus tuition can support English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, according to the intended assessment. We explore the child's starting point and the areas where additional teaching or practice would help.

Sessions can include problem-solving, vocabulary, question familiarity and managing time. We keep families informed about progress so that preparation remains realistic and suited to the child.
