Frequently Asked Questions

Cost

Our sessions work out at £27 per hour and you will receive an invoice at the beginning of each half term. Please click here for more information and for an overview of our terms and conditions.
 

Childcare after school

For groups that take place within schools, the children are given a play before tuition starts. We do not charge for this.
 

When to start tutoring?

In January of year 4 we start with consolidating Y4 maths and English before moving onto year 5 work in the summer term.
In Year 5 we start year 6 level with teaching taking up the 90 minutes (45 mins maths and 45 mins English) before moving on to timed papers in March. Please note that children are welcome to join at any stage.
You can find the course overview here.
 

Homework

In year 4 this is mainly finishing off work but it increases in year 5 with optional extension tasks to access the highest level of work and timed paper practice to also be done at home.
 

Feedback to parents

Formal feedback happens twice a year by parent meetings/reports or in an ad-hoc but pre-arranged chat after school at pick up time. We shall always be honest with you about how your child is achieving in class.
 

Pre-selection?

We do not pre-select. Our aim is for children to reach their potential and to help you find the school that is right for them.
 

Rest Assured

Our tutors are all very experienced, DBS checked and regularly receive safeguarding training. One person from each centre is also first aid trained – we ask that you inform us of any allergies or medical requirements before your child starts with us.
