Tuition Services

Maths

We use the FCL programme to develop skills in Mathematics by focussing on the core skills of addition, subtraction, division, multiplication. We develop accuracy as well as fluency and rapid recall of facts. We then apply these skills to other areas of maths such as algebra, data handling, fractions, decimals and percentages. For students embarking on their GCSE Maths studies in years 10 and 11, additional support is available for those who want to revise and practise exam style questions. Topics covered include algebra, number and graphs, Pythagoras and trigonometry, probability and statistics.

English

We use the FCL programme to support development of English skills. All aspects of English are covered from year R up to GCSE level, including phonics, handwriting, reading, listening and comprehension skills. The FCL programme is designed to provide each learner with a wide breadth of skills such as developing creative writing skills, analysing a variety of genres and how to retrieve information from texts. For students embarking on their GCSE English studies in years 10 and 11, additional support is also available to aid comprehension in specific texts studied. Supplementary materials are chosen to complement the exam board used in individual schools, and the core texts studied on the syllabus. These include Shakespeare Plays, poetry anthologies and fiction.

Science

We use supplementary materials for science tuition. Students of all ages can work through workbooks designed for their Key Stage, that support the curriculum being covered in schools. Our expert teaching assistants are ready to explain any science topic and assist individual pupils.
