FAQs
What if my child feels nervous about starting at the Thornhill centre?
It’s completely understandable to feel nervous about starting something new. Our experienced team will make sure your child feels welcome and supported from the start. Book a free trial to meet our team and see how our tuition can help you and your family.
Is your curriculum the same as in school?
Yes - our private tuition follows the school curriculum, but is more tailored to your child’s individual learning needs. We match the pace and content in our sessions depending on which areas they find easy or more challenging. Our tutors have successfully taught children from Llanishen High School, Thornhill Primary School, and Coed Glas Primary School.
We don’t specifically support homework or school projects in our sessions, but we do strengthen your child’s confidence and ability to complete these tasks by themselves.
Can I rearrange my sessions?
Absolutely. Our Cardiff team are flexible, so you can fit your sessions around your individual schedule. The centre is open Tuesday to Saturday to give you the best chance of finding a time that fits you and your family.
Do you support children with SEN?
Absolutely! Whilst we are not SEN specialists, our individual approach and inclusive environment have proved highly successful with children with SEN such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and more.
We’ll discuss during your first visit how we can best support your child’s needs. It’s important to us to get SEN tuition right for every child.
Do you set homework?
No, but your child will have unlimited access to our smart learning tool for extra practice at home whenever they like.
Is your tuition all done on computers?
We combine the best of both worlds, utilising smart edtech alongside personalised support from real tutors. Your child will use a computer to answer tailored questions based on their abilities, whilst receiving instant help when they need it from our expert tutors.
