Welcome to the Hartlepool First Class Learning Centre
What we Offer:
We aim to help our students gain confidence and to succeed in Maths and English. Courses are tailored to suit the individual ability and learning style of your child and are based on and complement the school curriculum. We welcome students of any age between 4 and 16 years old. All abilities are welcome, but as a general rule the earlier your child starts the better.
Initial Assessment:
Before your child commences study with First Class Learning, we will carry out an assessment to determine their specific needs and to ensure a suitable starting point on the course.
In the Class:
On arrival at class students are greeted, they return their communication sheet and are then given their class work for the day. Students typically spend 20-30 minutes in class or a little longer if they are doing two subjects. The class work is always marked and assessed before the students leave. Independent learning is encouraged. All students are aware that sympathetic help is always available and that rather than being a sign of failure, an error is always seen as a learning opportunity. Students starting a new topic or those that are having difficulty will receive one to one support. Class tuition is reinforced with a weekly programme of regular homework. If the student or parent have any issues they wish to raise, these can be mentioned on the communication sheet to be discussed in class or by phone later.
Home study:
At each visit to the Centre, your child will be given a detailed programme of home study to be completed before the next class. The home study plays a vital role in your child's progress by ensuring constant consolidation of the skills learned at the Study Centre. We encourage you to assist in marking your child's work. This ensures that you will always be fully aware of the work your child is doing and the progress being made. We lay great emphasis on effective communication with students and parents and on putting enjoyment back into Maths and English. First Class Learning has an excellent record of improving students' performance at school and success in S.A.T. / G.C.S.E. exams.
Class Ethos:
Frances and I have over thirty years classroom teaching experience between us and this helps us create a calm, welcoming atmosphere in class. We take a keen interest in all of our students who can also turn to our trained assistant for friendly advice and help. Personal organisation and consideration for others are encouraged. Students are expected to bring a sharp pencil to class and to do their work quietly, without distracting others. However, the buzz of a busy, working environment is encouraged. We take our studies seriously – but we enjoy ourselves at the same time. Children arrive and leave with a smile.
