“We had planned to stop the tutoring after the 11+ exam, but with the next lockdown and more disruption to her education, we quickly relented when she literally begged us to continue going! The sessions are adjusted to her needs and she describes them as ‘really fun’ and she likes it that the work is specific to her level and much more individualised than the class work at school.”

Advance Payment is Required
We register your card details on your personal ‘TutorBird’ account for Automatic Payments:
Payments are made in advance of your child’s lessons, weekly or monthly.
Missed Sessions and ‘Catch ups’
Please note that any sessions not attended will still be charged. We then offer a complimentary ‘catch-up’ session which can be scheduled at another convenient time during the time that your child is enrolled.
Please note that make-up credits will expire after 6 months if not used.
Notice Period
We politely request that you give two weeks’ written notice (email is best) to withdraw your child from tuition. We will count the notice period from the date that we receive your email or letter. If you are a monthly payer, it is essential that you inform us in good time, otherwise you may be liable for an extra month’s payment.

Essential Information
Loving to Learn: Activities and tasks that your child Can Do!
After the assessment, we use your child’s results to create an individual plan for them. It will focus on any areas of weakness and allow us to set work at the right level. We will give your child work that they can do so their confidence, and feeling of success, returns.
Homework
This is set to practise and repeat their learning, which also helps them to retain it or shows us what we need to work on!
Our tutors will re-design their plan each week so they can continue to work on the areas of weakness, consolidate learning and extend it further. We see the greatest progress from children who are with us for six to nine months.
Honest Feedback
We will give honest verbal feedback at the end of every session if requested. Once the child has reached the goal agreed, we will recommend that they be re-assessed or graduated from the programme.
Real Teachers (Fully Qualified)
Our tutoring consists of 80 minutes of one-to-one tuition in a small group setting with a fully qualified teacher. All our tutors are experienced and qualified teachers. We also give them full training in our ‘I Love to Learn’ teaching method.
Weekly During Term Time
Children need regular sessions to make progress and remember the new things they are learning. Memory issues often hold children back and so regular attendance is essential. The homework is there to repeat the work they have covered as an extra memory prompt.
