Maths and English Tuition at South Lakes J36

Hello from the team at First Class Learning South Lakes. We’re a Maths and English Tuition Centre led by Lesley, who is an exceptional educator who excels in engaging with children and helping them reach their full potential. Children learn with us from ages 4 – 16 and our individualised teaching programmes follow the National Curriculum.

Some children join us for a little help in just maths, or English, and some study both subjects with us. Our aim is to help with their school studies, build confidence and to develop independent learning skills.

Many young people join us for a specific purpose such as GCSE tuition and others join us because they are working at a higher level than their peers.

How we work

We'll chat either on the phone or over email, to discuss how we can help your child with maths or English. The next step is to come along to our centre in South Lakes. Lesley will sit down with your child and they'll complete an assessment, so we can work out which of our paths is the most suitable for them. We work as hard as possible so that this doesn't feel like an exam or a test it's just a friendly way of us getting to know our students. The next step is to put together a bespoke plan that will support and encourage your child's learning. If you're happy with this, they will be able to start attending regular classes with us. In their classes, children complete a short piece of work which will be marked, returned and talked through with one of our assistants who will give them a programme of homework to complete before they next join us. Most important of all, we make learning as fun as possible. Our assessments are free, so we can work out together whether our First Class Learning sessions are the right path for your child.

FAQ

Is FCL 1:1 Tuition?

We describe tuition at our Centre as 1:1 but in a group environment. Your child will receive their individual attention and support whilst attending our group classes. FCL offers structure and daily practice, with a ‘little and often’ approach, enabling them to retain what they have learnt & gain confidence with ease. It also develops good study habits and independent learning so that they don’t become dependent on others teaching them.

What if I miss a session or the Centre is closed?

We operate for 50 weeks of the year, only closing for two weeks at Christmas. If a session is missed we ‘owe the session back’ on another occasion. If absence is due to illness we do ask for as much notice as possible and Lesley will liaise with you to fit your child’s session in at a different time.

How much homework is given? Does it have to be completed?

This is a partnership between ourselves and you. We do set 10-15 minutes of homework per subject to be completed per night but this should be something your child can do independently. We do ask that they have a quiet work space in which to do this and you will have handbooks which will allow you to support in marking their work.

I want to know your prices- can I have some more information?

If you would like to know the prices then please get in touch using the form below. We'll be happy to provide the information as this is dependent on the number of children. We do offer sibling discounts and multiple subject discounts too. There is no fixed term and we do offer flexible payment plans.
