We believe one-to-one tuition is not for every child. During a typical one-to-one tuition session a large proportion of the time is taken by the tutor watching a child undertake activities. This can be quite intimidating for some children. By running small group sessions the children have a large amount of individual focused teaching but can also develop independent learning skills in a supportive environment. This will help them succeed when back at school.

English & Maths curriculum support groups are - approx. 5 children
11+ groups - approx. 8 children.

All our tutors are experienced and qualified teachers with full DBS checks. Your child will have their own designated tutor who will work with them to establish a rapport that will enable them to learn in a relaxed environment in the learning style that suits them best.

We can provide assistance with English (reading, writing, spelling, handwriting etc) and Maths. We follow objectives from the National Curriculum giving children the confidence and skills that they can take back to school. The benefits of individual learning are that your child can work at the best pace for them to achieve their targets. We also offer revision and preparation for SATs and 11+ exams for grammar and public schools.

Yes! As we are all fully qualified teachers we are trained to help children with a wide range of special educational needs. Our relaxed and supportive environment will give them the confidence to tackle new skills they find difficult at school.

Yes! As they will be able to work at a pace suitable to their higher ability and encouraged to reach their full potential.

This depends very much on your child's abilities. If your child is a high achiever, we recommend you contact us a year before for an assessment. If though, they have areas where they need to improve, we suggest you start at least two years before the exam. Either way, it takes substantial time and commitment to succeed. Your child's class teacher should be able to provide you with guidance but we can carry out an assessment at any time.

Sessions aim to be fun and enjoyable for your child to promote learning. We use both new technologies that are interactive and engaging along with more traditional paper based resources to help practise key skills.

English & maths curriculum support groups - You can ask for a small piece of homework to be given at the end of each session to consolidate the learning. We ask that this is not completed straight after the session so we can check their understanding has been retained after a period of time.
11+ groups - Homework is an essential part of the 11+ preparations.

Mainly, we are term time only. We follow the Solihull school calendar. However, we do offer summer holiday and Easter sessions, although mainly to support children taking their SATs and 11+, these lessons are open to all. We have a full summer schedule of 11+ preparations including weekly mock exams and revision sessions.

The current rates are :
English & maths curriculum support group : £22 for 55 minute session.
11+ group : £25 for 55 minute session (including an online 11+ practice site)

The first session can be taken without any further commitment. If you decide to continue with us we will invoice you monthly. However, you can cancel at any time with two week's notice. All lessons must be paid for in advance.

Sessions that are missed are non-refundable. This is to encourage regular attendance and to ensure that your child gets the maximum benefit from their individual programme. But, if at least 24 hour's notice is given, an alternative catch up session will be offered wherever possible that week.

Online payment options are provided on each invoice which is sent to you at the beginning of the month. Lessons must be paid for in advance.
