FAQs
What if my child feels nervous about starting at the Edinburgh centre?
It’s normal to feel nervous! Our welcoming team help children settle in every day and will be there to support your child right from the start. Book a free trial to visit the centre, meet our wonderful staff and see how our tuition can boost your child’s confidence and grades today!
Is your curriculum the same as in school?
Yes, our private tuition centre is aligned with the school curriculum. However, our education is specifically tailored to your child’s performance. Our smart edtech allows us to adapt the pace of learning and topics covered depending on which areas your child needs the most guidance with. We have helped children from a host of schools in the local area, including Blackhall Primary School, Broughton High School, and more!
Our tutors don’t cover homework or school projects as part of our tuition sessions. However, we work hard at motivating and inspiring your child to complete these tasks independently.
Can I rearrange my sessions?
Of course, our Blackhall team are here to help! Fit your sessions around your schedule. We have plenty of slots across Tuesday to Saturday to make switching lesson times as easy as possible.
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.
