How tuition helps

During these years tuition can help to:

become more resilient in the face of mistakes

Our approach

There are 5 ways we help children make progress and develop a love of learning.

Every child entering our class undergoes a thorough assessment, followed by a meeting with the head or a senior teacher.

During the meeting, we engage with both you and your child, discussing their level and abilities. This enables us to place them in an appropriate group and provide positive feedback on how we can ensure their success.

Our positive approach, coupled with close collaboration with parents, empowers and enhances the child’s ability to meet the high standards required by selective schools. This has consistently resulted in year-on-year success, with our students’ securing places at some of the top schools in the country.

We firmly believe that children thrive in small groups, benefiting from quality tuition provided by experts in the field.

Weekly homework assignments are set to ensure that your child retains newly acquired skills and builds self-confidence.
