The Mayor of Hammersmith and Fulham opened the doors to the new First Class Learning this term, with scores of families flocking to the open day to discover more about the new extra-tuition format sweeping the nation.

First Class Learning Olympia initially opened as a summer school before term time began, with this open day marking the beginning of a fully fledged maths and English tuition service for children of all ages. The centre managers and tutors, Jane Li and Andrew Reid, organised the event which gave demonstrations of the study aids and exhibited examples of students’ work completed during the summer. Children were also entertained by a range of activities at hand, including face painters, balloon artists and arts and crafts instruction.

The event proved a great success with many parents applying to enrol their children for tuition on the day. The Mayor, Cllr Adronie Alford was also impressed by the vision of the two tutors and its realisation after months of planning.

She said,
“I’m delighted to be here at the open day and would like to congratulate you both on making this happen. I think it’s a marvellous idea – well done for bringing something back to the borough. It is really good of you to give back to the community – thank you so much and I wish you the very best of success.”

First Class Learning Olympia is open every Wednesday from 4-6pm with parents and children free to drop in. Children are given class work with daily homework set in order to build upon the topic established in class. The daily homework tasks fit easily into pupils’ schedules – developing skills, providing practice and ensuring the children expand their knowledge and learning techniques. The programmes have received rave reviews nationwide with more than 60 centres now open, as well as a number of primary and secondary schools employing the educational service across the country.
