What We Do
Overview
Tutoring generally comprises of a an hour lesson once a week or fortnight.
Tutoring is mainly subject based but also includes:
-
confidence building
-
exam techniques
-
support in choosing and applying for 6th form, college or University.
Anchorage tutoring can be:
-
1 person ( 1:1 )
-
2 people ( 2:1 )
-
Small groups of up to 4 students
Both 2:1 and small groups are for students working at roughly the same level on the same syllabus.
Tutoring is bespoke and corresponds directly to the needs of that student or group of students. It can incorporate maths, science or a specific science or a combination of the above topics.
Key Stage 3
Maths tutoring which follows the key stage 3 curriculum but can be tailored to specific needs of individual students.
Science tutoring follows the key stage 3 curriculum and is aimed to be fun and practical, wherever possible
Key Stage 4
Maths tutoring.
GCSE maths tutoring can be provided for both foundation and higher maths papers.
Functional Skills
Students who don't achieve a grade 4 at GCSE at the end of Year 11 will be expected to either retake GCSE or take the Functional Skills qualification. A pass at Level 2 is equivalent to a GCSE grade 4. This course still has many of the maths skills but is more applied. Appropriate support can be given to support work towards this qualification.
Maths GCSE retake programme
Not everyone passes their maths first time, for a variety and combination of reasons. It is sometimes a shock when this happens so it's important we "draw a line under it" and "get back on that bike" to prepare for our retake as we only have just over 2 months to prepare.
A programme is provided to follow and weekly tutoring to support problem areas and support with past paper questions.
A Level and Level 3 Science and Maths
Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology A level tutoring can be provided for all the above topics.
Details of A level syllabus will be needed to provide appropriate and specific tutoring.
