What our parents think...
"We considered tutors for our three boys but were put off by the formality and school like atmosphere. In the first three months since joining Explore our children have progressed by up to half a school year in both literacy and maths. The children positively look forward to attending sessions, the tutors make learning fun and we struggle to get them to leave!"
Tim and Maria Kirkham, Camberley Parents

What teachers think...
“Explore complements the classroom environment. It’s not like at school where if you are behind, you are removed from the main part of the class if you can’t do something. Everybody (at Explore) has their own, unique programs. Not everybody knows what level everyone else is at, how old everyone is, what they might be doing at school. I see it as something that can give children a boost and improve their confidence. I think it’s very good that learning can be seen as fun.” Miss Christopher, Teacher, May Park Primary, Bristol
Free Holiday Workshops For Members
During every school holiday we run free maths and literacy workshops for our members, giving them the chance to take part in a stimulating, interactive session, working with other children and doing something just a little bit different.
We publish the schedule of free workshops in our centre, so pay us a visit and see what we're offering over the coming months.
Open Sessions
This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to show you the work they do at Explore Learning and for parents to meet the inspiring tutors they work with. Who knows, you might even earn a lizard card yourself! Please see a manager for details and to reserve your space.
