First Class Learning Centre for maths and English Tuition in Thornton Heath.
Welcome! I am Bhavini Patel and run the Maths and English after school club in Thornton Heath. I have run an after-school study centre since 2004.
- Would you like your children to do well at school.
- Would you like your children to develop good English and maths skills.
- Would you like your children to have the skills they need throughout life.
You can ensure that they get those skills when they enrol for maths and English tuition at the Thornton Heath First Class Learning Centre.
Who we are:
At the centre we aim to build confidence in children and develop their independent learning ability. Students of all ages attend the centre from Early Years all the way through to children studying GCSEs. Children of all abilities thrive in the centre as our programmes are individualised to their specific needs. Our students progress a step at a time, moving on only after they have understood and mastered a topic. At First Class Learning we believe in 1% steps to 100% success.
First Class Learning is a long term programme and runs throughout the year, students generally stay with me for a number of years. We support your child's learning with the aim of raising self esteem and confidence, thus making their school studies easier. Maths and English can be studied as individual subjects or studied together.
How does it work?
Using a combination of carefully structured worksheets, workbooks and textbooks, we will take your child from the basics of maths and/or English through to the more demanding aspects of school work. The modular nature of the programme allows us to vary the type of work, and to also cover the entire National Curriculum.
FCL was developed by a British team of educationalists specifically to support the N ational Curriculum in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (and the Scottish equivalent).
Before you decide to enrol your child with First Class Learning, she/he will be assessed at the centre. The assessment will help to determine his/her specific needs and ensure a suitable starting point in the course.
Once your child enrols, at each visit to the Study Centre he/she will be given a programme of homework that should be completed before the next class. Even in one subject, there may be homework on two different topics. All students should look upon the homework they receive as a weekly task. There is flexibility – a child may choose to do a small amount each day, or in two or three sessions over the course of the week.
Sympathetic one-to-one help is always available in the Centre.
What Happens in Class:
The classes are held on Saturdays as drop-in sessions and students attend once a week. Students are typically in class for 20 minutes per subject. Students are provided with a task to complete which is then marked and any errors corrected. Students receive guidance whenever necessary, and independent learning is encouraged.
Home Study:
At each visit to the Centre, your child will be given a detailed programme of home study which reinforces and consolidates their class work. The work needs to be completed on a daily basis by each student and you will be required to mark the work (handbooks will be provided!). This ensures that you will always be fully aware of the work your child is doing and the progress being made. This homework then needs to be returned at each class session for review and feedback.
