FCL have personalised lesson plans for maths and English as per your child's requirements. I see positive improvements in both of my children’s writing skills and maths. I used to worry a lot about their learning but that has been taken away. Please send your children there if you want them to be confident in school and in everyday life.

How we work

Our First Class Learning Centre Manager, Shilpa will call you to discuss how she can help your child with maths and English. They will then arrange a convenient time for your child to complete an assessment to determine which path is most suitable for them. Once we have established your child's needs, we will put together a bespoke course of action that will support and encourage your child's learning. Your child will attend our centre each week, where they will work through their personalised worksheet programme, supported by the Centre Managers. They will be given a structured homework plan to reinforce their learning. We encourage all parents to mark the homework daily so that corrections can be made as they go through the week and their progress will be seen in the results. (Don’t worry! Comprehensive handbooks with answers are provided.) Our programme is a partnership between First Class Learning, your child and you as parents, so communication between all is important. If there are any problems with the work, you can contact Shilpa by phone or email.

FAQ

How does FCL differ to 1:1 tutoring?

FCL offers structure and daily practice with a ‘little and often’ approach, enabling the child to retain what they have learnt and gain confidence. It also develops a good study habit and independent learning rather than becoming dependent upon others teaching them.

How will FCL help with my child’s school work?

By bridging gaps and developing confidence, a child’s attitude can become more positive, whilst at the same time our programmes provide them with the skills sets required to transfer through to their school studies.

Can I sit with my child while they do their work at the centre?

If a child is worried about coming along to their first session, we will work with parents to settle them in. However, you will not need to stay for long as once a child has experienced the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, they are happy to stay on their own. We aim to encourage independent and confident students.

If I join, am I tied into FCL for a set amount of time?

No, not at all. FCL is primarily a long-term programme, not a ‘quick fix’. However, there are many reasons why you may need to discontinue, so I ask for just 1 month’s notice.
