Elm Park Learning Centre

How we work

Our process for new students is designed around making them feel relaxed and comfortable quickly. We start with our unique Skills Assessment. We visit your home so the student is relaxed, and complete some worksheets which shows both areas of strength and areas that your child needs help with. This is also a great introduction to our smart materials. We then design a programme unique to your child’s needs. Our maths and English learning pathways are designed to work with the National Curriculum and build the skills needed step-by-step. This is what makes FCL so effective and how students start to understand things that have previously puzzled them. Weekly work is planned and scheduled so it is easy to follow. This work is picked up each week at our centres and parents can feel relaxed knowing their child has clear direction. Our plan will include small bite-size tasks to complete each day through printed worksheets (not more screen time learning). We also supply handbooks as we encourage students to mark their work, both for skills development and so they can spot mistakes immediately. At our inspiring learning centres, we answer questions and go over completed work. Importantly we challenge the students to make sure they have not only finished but also understood the topics. Some elements are only marked at the centre, but all work is spot-checked. During 2020 we created our Home Support Programme. While inspired by lockdowns, this supports students by video if they can’t get to a centre. This can be for self-isolation or something as basic as transport issues. We make sure your child has consistent, reliable and effective tuition.
