Cambridge tutoring for primary and high school.
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – William Butler Yeats
We take the art of private tuition very seriously. Every one of our Cambridge tutors scored distinctions in high school, has studied at university, passed our intake exams with distinction, and then completed our tutor training programme with distinction.
Our Cambridge tutors don’t just know the work, they know how to teach it; our students frequently improve their marks by 20%.
Our approach
Assess
First, we assess the student to identify gaps in the fundamentals (what content don’t they know?) and common error types (how are they losing marks?).
Match
Then, we select a mentor from our team of Cambridge tutors. It is crucial for a student to ‘like’ their tutor and look forward to the lessons.
Teach
The trained tutor comes to the house for high-impact one-on-one lessons where they actually teach the ideas and concepts.
Practise
We set structured homework for the student to do in between lessons. When it comes to learning, practice is key.
Engage
We use projects, experiments, and practical demonstrations to excite the student and pique their interest.
Test
The student writes regular mock tests so that they can practise their skills under exam conditions, and we can monitor their progress and increase their confidence.
Refine technique
A student needs to familiarise themselves with the technical requirements of the memorandum in order to excel. We teach test-taking techniques.
Supervise
We supervise, guide and support the programme to ensure a great result.
