1. When are you
open?
All Explore Learning centres are open 7 days a week, both in
term time and during school holidays. For the opening hours of your nearest Explore Learning tuition centre,
see your local centre website.
2. How often
can my child attend?
Your child can attend up to twice a week. Each session is approximately 1 hour
and 15 minutes long.
3. Do I have to
book?
No. Once you are a member there is no need to book your child’s
session in advance. You can attend
up to twice a week on a day and time that suits your family. You do not have to come on the same day
every week, meaning that Explore Learning tuition is very flexible, and fits
with your family routine.
4. What is the
monthly membership fee?
The monthly membership fee is subject to some regional
variations. For the membership
fees at your nearest Explore Learning tuition centre, see your local centre
website.
5. Are there
any discounts available?
Yes. Explore
Learning has a number of Helping Hand schemes that can help you to save money
on Explore Learning tuition. For

6. My child is
gifted, can they benefit from Explore membership?
Yes. Hundreds of
gifted children benefit from attending Explore Learning centres every
week. At Explore we tailor our courses to each child's individual ability levels rather than their age, allowing gifted children to progress at their own pace. At your free trial session
we will discuss your child's unique needs with you in detail, and
create a course tailored to them. Read more about Explore for Gifted
Children.
7. My child has
SEN – can they benefit from Explore membership?
Yes. At Explore Learning we get to know all of our members as individuals. This means that we are able to tailor our curriculum and environment in order to enable each child to succeed academically. At your free trial session we will discuss your child's unique needs with you in detail, and create a course tailored to them. You can read more about Explore tuition for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) here.
9. What kind of
feedback will I get about my child’s progress?
We will give very comprehensive feedback on your child’s
progress. At the end of each
session you will receive a chart summarising your child’s lesson. These charts will give you examples of
the activities your child has completed, as well as their scores, and comments
from their tutor.
We will also regularly hold Parent Conferences with you to
discuss your child’s progress and review their goals in more detail.
10. Does Explore tuition
work alongside what my child is being taught at school?
Yes. Our
teaching materials map to the English National Curriculum as well as the
Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland. Explore tutors also develop strong relationships with local schools and
are actively involved in school life by running regular maths and English
workshops for pupils. You can read
testimonials from school teachers here.
11. What is the
ratio of children to tutors?
The maximum ratio is 1 tutor to 6 children. We believe that this is the ideal ratio
to provide children with individual support, whilst enabling them to gain
confidence in working independently.
