Guidance on how to approach each task
Feedback on the work, not just completion

Lessons built around one child. Best for catching up, stretching ahead, building confidence or preparing for entrance exams.

Questions parents ask
Which year groups do you teach?
Children from Reception to Year 6. Groups are organised by year and level so everyone works at the right pace.
Is one-to-one better than a group?
One-to-one suits catching up, stretching ahead or exam preparation, because every minute is about your child. Groups suit children who enjoy learning with others and need steady practice. After the baseline assessment we will tell you which we recommend.
Can you help with 7+, 11+ and SATs?
Yes. We prepare children with timed practice, exam technique and papers in the style used by GL Assessment, ISEB and consortium schools.
My child is shy or has lost confidence. Will that be a problem?
No. Lessons start with work your child can succeed at, then build up. Small steps and quick, specific praise make a big difference.
How do I get started?
Get in touch for an introductory chat. We will arrange a baseline assessment and talk through the options that suit your child.
