TUITION - Maths and English After School For 5-16 year Olds.
Welcome to the Lee On The Solent First Class Learning Centre
What we offer:
We aim to help children gain confidence and succeed in Maths and English. Courses are tailored to suit the individual ability and learning style of your child and are based on and compliment the school curriculum. Students are school age children who need to improve their maths and or english skills. All ages and abilities are welcome. As a general rule the earlier your child starts the better.
What happens in class?
On arrival at class students are greeted and helped to swap their completed homework for new homework and collect their class work for the day. Any issues a child or parent has are noted and discussed at class or by phone later. Parents are expected to have marked the homework and we do provide answer books. Students typically spend 20-30 minutes in class or a little longer if they are doing two subjects. Once a student has completed their work and it has been marked they leave the session. Students starting a new topic or those that are having difficulty will receive one to one tuition. Unlike a traditional tutor, this one to one tuition is reinforced with a weekly programme of regular homework. 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.
Class Ethos:
We aim to create a calm welcoming atmosphere in class. We talk to every child while they are in the classroom and they can also turn to our trained assistant for friendly advice and help. Personal organisation and consideration for others is encouraged. Students are expected to bring a sharp pencil to class and to do their work quietly, without distracting others. However there is a gentle buzz of conversation – friendships are formed here. We take our studies seriously – but we enjoy ourselves at the same time. Children arrive and leave with a smile. We are proud that most children come from parent or school recommendation.
Communication with Parents:
Following an initial assessment your child will attend the study centre in Lee on the Solent, usually once a week. Students also complete weekly homework tasks which reinforce what they have met in class. Progress is regularly assessed and the assessment is discussed with you and your child. 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 improvement in children’s performance at school and SAT and Exam success.
